I think DrCrow is making plenty of valid points, and I agree with him on several of them, though certainly not all.

Something that must be taken into consideration here is that bullying may have a vastly different effect on one person to another. Now that I've thought of it, I realize there have been several times I have been bullied and times I have participated in bullying, but the former never got to me. I participated in bullying a few times at a point in my life in which I was trying to fit in too much. I had been socially awkward and felt out of place before that, and I went too far in the other direction. I made a decision to change, and be an individual rather than part of the crowd after realizing where I had gone wrong.

Warbler strikes me as a sensitive, emotional kind of guy (I'm in no way insinuating that those are negative characteristics), and he is thus far more likely to be affected by personal attacks and bullying. DrCrow seems far less so, and quite resembles a sociopathic friend of mine in the way he often writes. I don't mean to imagine any psychological problems onto him, but merely intend to observe that he doesn't seem to be the type who would be as affected by bullying.

So the solution does not lie in his proposal (not fully, anyhow), nor entirely in Warbler's, who has a very negative view of bullies. Some people can get by by being taught to deal with bullies. Others, need to have other help.

 That's a pretty good summing up, thank you.

I guess since history is my big subject I am always just a little afraid of the way human will blow a problem up out of all proportion and then in the efforts to stamp out that problem will trample on freedoms to do it be it at witch trials, comic book violence, or fear of enemy agents working within the borders of your country. I don't want to see this issue become the latest excuse to take away people's freedoms and bullying can be so broadly defined and is so hated that I think it could be. That and the fact that I find it a little worrying when kids grow up unable to handle problems on their own are my biggest concerns.

I can't agree with that. he has done a lot of different styles and his stuff always at least sounds different. I mean his score for The Dark Knight was so different from everything else out there that every TV show and movie since has been ripping it off. He may not be my favorite but he does have talent and his theme for the Joker is so simple and yet chilling it is my favorite theme for any villain in any movie or tv show ever made.  It still sends a shiver down my spine.

Oh and don't tell me this isn't a free speech issue when kids are being sent to jail for facebook posts that the government says are bullying.

Tell me that can not get out of hand real fast and be a threat to everyone's rights a few years down the line?

Most bullying that I hear people complaining about is name calling now yes in a class room you can put a stop to that but that is not where kids do it.

that is where kids did it to me, in school on school grounds.  The adults didn't do anywhere near enough to stop it.   We were not properly supervised on the playground during recess.   They had people out there with us that were supposed to be watching us, but they used more as time to gossip instead of keeping a good eye on us.  I've lost count of the number of times the bullies were able to do things to me right in the plain veiw of those that were supposed to be watching and failed to do anything about it. 

They do it out in public or in their own homes.

the bullies almost never did anything to me in my home,  They weren't allowed there.  The only thing they did do was crank call me a few times.   That can be handled by the law.

You can't stop name calling without attacking free speech so if you ask me that right there is setting up a police state.

funny, parents, teachers other adults regularly tell kids to stop name calling you really want to say that is a violation of the free speech?   Kids have a right to an opinion but do not have the right to harass other kids.;

I mean how long before it is decided that anyone who says anything negative about the president is bullying him and then it becomes a crime to not support the president? 

more asinine bs.

Don't tell me it couldn't happen because if the president says people are hurting his feelings isn't he being bullied and why shouldn't those mean people be made to stop?

for one thing, the free speech rights of adults are much less limited than that of children.

Not to mention that unless you have the government watching everything everyone thinks says or does how do you catch bullies in anything other then a "he said she said" type of situation where there is no proof one way or the other?  Again this crosses the line into a police state and it is a place I never want to go.

well for one thing, if the adults keep a better eye on the kids, then it won't be "he said she said", it will be "bully said, adult saw and heard"

Oh and if you think it was easy for me to learn how to deal with bullies you should talk to me mom about the number of times I came home crying but I learned that they couldn't make me change and they couldn't control my life so they had no real power and were just frittering away their own lives that could be spent doing something better.

 I know it wasn't easy for you.  Stop acting like it should have been easy for me when you know better.

 So again you are talking about locking up kids in some way so they are never out of site of adults and getting rid of free speech rights, how is that not the makings of a police state?

Also if the rights of kids can be taken away because they are not real citizens how long before the right of blacks, or jews, or other groups who don't do enough to count as "real citizens" come under assault? As I said I would rather air on the side of caution when it comes to rights.

The fact is any human interaction can turn violent, or cause you to feel bad about yourself. The only way to be 100% sure that it will never happen is just to avoid all human interactions. Also again you are describing grade school, so it wasn't really the bullies it was the teachers who were the problem and again do you really think it's healthy to let your life be defined by something that happened so long ago? Were you disabled by the fights? Are you in pain today because of them? Was what the other kids said about you true? if the answers to these questions is no then my view has always been why would it bother anyone?

The other issue is I think kids are getting too controlled these days. When I was a kid some of the best days of my life were the ones where the summer days where my friends and I would just take off and explore the town we lived in and not see an adult all day. It was by doing this that we developed our own tastes in books and discovered what we were really interested in doing with our lives and just relaxed in a way we could with our parents hanging around and trying to manage everything. Also we learned how to resolve and deal with conflicts because when one came up most of the time we would have to deal with it ourselves.  Every time I have had a job I have ended up getting put in charge of other people because despite some of my other issues my bosses are shocked by how good I am at resolving conflicts and instructing people and I learned those skills because of the freedom all the kids had when I was growing up. I have to wonder how kids are going to learn those skills today when they are told to just play the victim the first time someone says something they don't like and let someone else solve the problem for them.

Sorry but that's the way I see it. I think you have to give kids some freedom if they are going to grow up and that means that yes some times they are going to get hurt because the world isn't perfect and some times kids do stupid things. Does that mean that no effort should be made to protect children, of course not but if you go too far they will be unable to cope with the adult world and they will let little events from their childhood mess up their adult lives and I just don't think that is right. Sorry if this offends you but I have yet to hear how bullying can be stopped without a police state all I have heard is that it can without any details and I don't think you can stop something that has been going on since the dawn of time.

Everything in life can hurt you and while there are cases where the law needs to step in I think in most cases of school yard bullying adults are way over reacting these days and that the far better approach is to make sure kids learn the right lesson and react the right way.

There are only three ways to react to the past. You can run from it. Let it control you. Or learn from it. My personal choice is to go with the last one.

I think you need to seek real help. You are letting something that happened to you years ago control the way you live your life and you are thinking about hurting other people to get even and you don't think there is anything wrong with this or you have any power to control it.

I am not trying to be insulting I am speaking as someone who has had to have my own problems treated and had to learn about this stuff and how messed up it can make you. What you describe in this thread sounds like it could be a real psychological problem and again without trying to insult you or dismiss your view point I urge you to seek help.

I am not saying you will flip out and go on a killing spree or that you are unable to function in the real world. I am just saying it sounds an awful lot like you have issues that have been effecting your quality of life for a long time and it you could use some help dealing with them.

Believe me I know how hard it is to seek help. I refused to get help when everyone around me told me I needed help for years and it nearly killed me.

You seem like a nice guy if you are having the kinds of problems and fantasies you describe in this thread please talk to someone professional to at least see if they think you need help before it hurts you or someone else.

So nothing should ever be a challenge, Bond should just sit in a car with Star Trek tech and take everything out with missiles and nothing he does should in any way be based on real world science?  I am guessing Die another Day is your favorite Bond film.

If the gadgets do all the work then why does MI6 even need Bond? They could grab any person off of the street and they would do just as good a job.

Oh and a radio that small with a battery that lasts, transmits as far as it was show and doesn't get detected when the bad guys search Bond, that is pretty high tech. It may not be out of Star trek but it is beyond anything that you can buy right now and it would take a pretty smart person to buy it. Also a gun that can only be fired by the person who owns it. Again that seems pretty cool and high tech to me and it has the bonus of feeling like something that could exist in the gritty world Bond is a part of, so they were perfect examples of Bond gadgets. Just because they didn't transport him to Mars doesn't mean they were not high tech.

I think the films really lose something when they get away from the character as it worked in the books so I am glad that after decades of the films going sci-fi that they are getting back to the spirit of the books and putting Bond back in character.

Oh and the old movies featured long pan over locations and at the time they were made those were considered artistic shots so I don't see how you can say there is anything wrong with Skyfall having artistic shots in it. There is no reason why you can't combine art and action and that is one of the reasons I love Skyfall is that it does this. Most film makers give up trying to make a film look good once they start making an action film I am glad that wasn't the case with Skyfall.

Oh and there is no way to fit a rocket inside a car and in this day and age most people watching know that so unless you are making a comedy that is not going to happen in a modern film. Now a days if a film starts out gritty people get take out of the story if it then features some sort of magic CGI tech that seems out of place in the film's world. That is the biggest complaint I hear about the Nolan Batman movies, that they seem to take place in the real world but then some of the gadgets seem to be magic. So You can't blame Bond for avoiding that pitfall.

Most bullying that I hear people complaining about is name calling now yes in a class room you can put a stop to that but that is not where kids do it. They do it out in public or in their own homes. You can't stop name calling without attacking free speech so if you ask me that right there is setting up a police state.

I mean how long before it is decided that anyone who says anything negative about the president is bullying him and then it becomes a crime to not support the president?  Don't tell me it couldn't happen because if the president says people are hurting his feelings isn't he being bullied and why shouldn't those mean people be made to stop? There is no reason it couldn't go that far at some point so I say let's not even go down that road.

Not to mention that unless you have the government watching everything everyone thinks says or does how do you catch bullies in anything other then a "he said she said" type of situation where there is no proof one way or the other?  Again this crosses the line into a police state and it is a place I never want to go.

I was bullied all the time as a kid and it wasn't the end of the world. I don't know every time I hear some one talking like being bullied is the worst thing that could happen to you all I can think about is how many times I was beat up as a kid and had my favorite toys stolen and yet it didn't cause any long term problems. In fact now that I am an adult I am friends with some of the kids who bullied me when I was a kid.

I don't know how you could be friends with them.  Did they are atleast apologize to you.   I want nothing to do with those that bullied me.   One of the reasons I avoid going to class reunions is to avoid being in the same room with them.

When there are so many other crimes running out of control in this country I have to wonder why the government is spending so much money on tv ads to stop bullying.

We don't have to only focus on one problem. 

Oh and I don't buy that a kid who is bullied will end up shooting up a school or something some day, as I said I was bullied and that idea never once crossed my mind.

nor I do, but I did and still do have fantasies about doing violence to them and getting revenge.   It is not something I or most would ever do, but it has can happen.

I don't know it just seems to me that when I was a kid part of growing up was learning how to solve problems on your own

but there are some problems you can't solve on your own.

and I learned to avoid the bullies or stand up to them.

I tried to avoid the bullies but couldn't.    Whenever I stood up to them, it seemed to only made things worse for me.    They were bigger, strong, and faster then I was and outnumbered me.

It just seems to me like we are training kids to play the victim card their whole lives and when we flood the Tv with all the ads where we act like your life is over if you get bullied once we are just making the problem worse since we are sending the message to kids that if you get called names or anything like that then you may as well kill yourself because you have nothing to live for.

I have never seen any tv ad that acted like someone's life was over just because they were called names.

I don't know it just seems wrong to tell kids to let what others say about them have so much power in their lives.

Its also wrong to pretend that names can't hurt, they can and they do.

People called me names and mocked me all of my life and you know what I learned on my own? To be my own person and not care what they think and do well in school.

for some, it is easier to not care what others think, than it is for others.

 I don't think I would have learned to not care what people said about me if I hadn't been picked on as a kid.

all I can say is that I don't think I ever learned anything from being bullied except to hate myself and think that I am such a loser.    If anyone has ever learned anything from being bullied, surely there is a better way to learn the same lesson.

Am I saying bullying is good? No. What I am saying is that you can respond to it in a positive way and I think we should be teaching kids how to do that instead of trying to stamp out bullying

why not try to do both?

which I don't see how that can be done without setting up a police state

we can eliminate a lot of bullying without setting up a police state.

teach kids not to care what some idiot says about that, that is the much better option if you ask me.

if only it were so simple to not care what others think.   I think we should do that as best we can, but what is wrong with teaching kids that it is wrong to bully as well?

 

 So you have let something that happened to you as a kid control everything you think say and do for the rest of your life. 

I don't need anyone to say sorry because I grew up, that is something more people need to learn how to do.

here is the only way you will ever stop bullying. First you have to have cameras covering every inch of the planet, then you have to give the police the power to shoot any kid who bullies in the head. That is the only way you will stop it and while that may be your dream world it isn't mine.

Oh and I was smaller then all the kids that ganged up on me but that didn't mater, I learned to take a punch and not hold grudge. What is the point of letting something that happened 20 years ago when we were all stupid kids define the rest of my life? Why would I want to give anyone that power. As long as I am still standing I can still decide my own fate so they haven't won. One thing I have learned from talking to people, living my own life, and reading books about the subject is violence always has a point and when it comes to bullying the point is to make you feel worst about yourself and change the way you react to things, as long as you don't do that they have not won. The moment you let it become the only thing you care about and you start avoiding people and places that is when they win. Hell if someone is using violence to try and change you and you don't give in they can kill you and they have still lost because they applied all that force and didn't reach their goal. 

Do you honestly think that they is any way to stop kids from bullying for all time without a police state?  Do you really think it will do any good to execute children or send them into our over crowded prison system?  Have all the ads on Tv done any good? Maybe the moment a baby is born we should just dump them in prison, after all then they will never get the chance to bully and the problem will be gone. After all anyone who has ever bullied is an inhuman monster and there is no such thing as going too far to stomp out this problem because it is clearly the number one threat to life on the planet today.

What are you talking about.

One example... This is a Bond Gadget...

This is not...

DrCrowTStarwars said:

It had the look and lighting of an art film

Exactly. Mendes should stick to making those kind of movies.

 So all gadgets have to look the same and have to be straight out of a star Trek movie and all action films have to look bad and be nothing but one long shaky cam shot.  Boy am I glad you are not running the franchise.  Look I don't think Bond films will ever be to your taste so why don't you just go and watch the Transformers movies instead, they seem to be more your style.

Oh and you do know that jetpack was only in one movie, so is Thunderball the only good bond film because most of the bond films do not feature gadgets that are so out there.

Oh and you do know that the directors but in the day were trying to make the films look as good as they could on budget too, right?

As I said I don't think you get Bond at all, and it would have to become something it is not to have an appeal for you so I am just as glad you are not running the franchise and we are getting a real follow up to Skyfall.  I can't wait for it to come out.

Take a look at the gadgets Bond had in the 60s and tell me the design and function of that radio doesn't fit right in.

Yeah I had no problem with T3 and it's time travel plot made more sense then the one in T2.

As I said I am giving this movie a chance, but after the last one I am keeping my expectations low.

Yeah!!!

Talk about fun!

I will check that out.

I tend to not just a movie based on the special effects of it's trailer since 90% of the time they are unfinished. I mean just look at all the trailers for the first Star Wars movie, if people had judged the movie based on them no one would have watched it.\

I will give this movie a shot since the last movie was garbage and they seem to not be following it's plot line and it features Matt Smith. I am not expecting much but I will give it a chance.

There are a lot of problems that must be solved by people that aren't in the wrong.  Saying that the solution to a problem is within the grasp of a particular party is not the same as saying they are to blame.

The problem is that wrongdoers often have no interest in fixing/preventing the problems they cause.  You can try to incentivize them to a point, but they're already breaking the rules (going against incentives that work for the rest of us) by being wrongdoers in the first place.

So, though they have done no wrong, the solution must come from the innocent, or there will come no solution at all.

As has been said, you can and should try to stop bullying.  However that will never stop bullying.  To really solve the problem, you must teach the bullied not to allow it to happen. 

Stop the victim mentality.  It generally creates more problems than it solves.  Does it solve any, really?

Also- all of the focus on bullying over the past decade, I think, has emboldened bullies.  It's very strong feedback that their tactics are working.  It's like feeding a troll.

 Yes well said.

One of the things I learned all on my own when I was a kid is that if I stopped paying attention to what bullies said when they hade fun of me they would give up and leave me alone. One of the things that bugs me is I now see ads on tv telling kids that their lives are ruined if they are called names, how does telling kids to let bullies have this kind of power help the victims again?  Any way back to my main point for bullies name calling is only fun if they get a reaction from you, so as a kid I learned that if you don't care what they think it is no fun for them and they will leave you alone.\

As for the other type of bullying, well depending on the bully I found that either avoiding them or standing up to them was the best thing to do. When I did stand up to them even if I lost the fight every time they would go and look for easier prey.

Oh and another aside to show that it isn't the end of the world and kids can grow up. When I was a kid there was a bully who really upset me and one time he punched my brother so hard he split his lips. We had a big fight after that and I didn't talk to him for year/ Now that we are adults and have grown up and seen that it was really petty we are friends. Bullying is only the end of the world if you let it be.

We should be teaching kids not to let bullies have the power and define them for the rest of their lives. That is how you stop bullying.

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH TO PLAY DOCTOR STRANGE

The celebrated actor to become the Sorcerer Supreme!

Benedict Cumberbatch has entered the world of the mystic arts.

The actor will star in Marvel’s “Doctor Strange,” scheduled to hit theaters November 4, 2016. The film, directed by Scott Derrickson with Jon Spaihts writing the screenplay, will follow the story of neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a horrific car accident, discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions.

“Stephen Strange’s story requires an actor capable of great depth and sincerity,” said Producer Kevin Feige. “In 2016, Benedict will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a unique and compelling character.”

Cumberbatch rose to international prominence with his critically acclaimed turn as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation in “Sherlock,” currently preparing its fourth season. The series’ most recent season earned Cumberbatch the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie in 2014, after winning the BAFTA/LA Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year in 2013.

Cumberbatch most recently starred in “The Imitation Game,” playing famed mathematician and logician Alan Turing, and will soon be seen in “The Hobbit: The Army of the Five Armies” as Smaug and the Necromancer. For the role of Smaug, Cumberbatch stepped into the world of motion capture to bring the dragon to life. He will next be seen in Scott Cooper’s film “Black Mass,” the story of Whitey Bulger coming to theaters next September, where he stars opposite Johnny Depp and Joel Edgerton.

The star’s other credits include the Academy Award-winning “12 Years a Slave,” “War Horse,” “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” “August: Osage County,” “Star Trek Into Darkness,” “The Fifth Estate,” and “Parade’s End.” Benedict will be returning to the stage this summer in Hamlet at the Barbican with Lyndsey Turner directing. His last stage performance in Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein opposite Jonny Lee Miller awarded him the Olivier.

With “Doctor Strange,” Cumberbatch is just the latest actor to join the bold Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, introducing new heroes and continuing the adventures of fan favorites across multiple films.

 I can't wait.

Here is hoping that Marvel has the guts to let Dr. Strange use magic and they don't make him an alien with a super tech suit or something like that.

This is the upcoming Marvel movie I am most looking forward to.

Ryan McAvoy said:

'Spectre' starts shooting tomorrow. So there is still at least 30 minutes left for the Producers to sack Mendes and hire a decent Director. Here's hoping...

 What are you talking about.

Skyfall was a really good movie, not just a Bond Film but a good film period. It was also one of the best shot and looking action films I have ever seen. It had the look and lighting of an art film while feeling like a great action film.

Skyfall is my favorite Bond film since The Living Daylights and I for one can't wait for Spectre and am glad Sam Mendes is returning to the director's chair.

I can't wait.

I guess if you can't see the homeless starving that means they must not exist and we all know all homeless people are only homeless because they refuse to buy a home not because they can't find a job and are kicked out onto the streets.

Merry freaking Christmas everyone!

Keep in mind that the trailer isn't necessarily final footage.... ;)

 Oh yeah.  I think I will wait for the reviews before seeing this movie. JJ seems to have no understanding of how film making works or what restraint is. Say what you will about the prequels and the SEs but at least I could see what was happening in them.

ImperialFighter said:

DrCrowTStarwars said:

I didn't see any lens flare in the trailer for the new Star Wars movie so maybe JJ is over this kick of simulating a broken camera and making it impossible to see what is happening in the movie.

There's some during both the X-wing and Falcon shots, but they are quite effective and restrained.  We'll probably see a few more of that kind of thing during other effects shots especially...and as long as we don't get the kind of over-powering type that we saw in his Trek movies, then I'll be more than happy with those kind of subtle ones. 

 Well since I didn't notice it any of the five times I watched the trailer then I am fine with it. But there were times in the theater when I went to see the star trek movies where I had to look away from the screen because it hurt my eyes and then on home video there are still scenes where I have a hard time figuring out what is going on. As long as it doesn't get that bad I am good.

I hate the fact that my back hurts if I spend too many hour writing at the computer. I love writing and when I am on a roll I hate having to take a break but some times I have to because of my back.

maybe not the biggest problem in the world but I still hate it.

Thank you so much.

I can't find anywhere on this site where it tells me how large the image in a sig is allowed to be.

tell me, is John Williams doing the soundtrack for the new movie?

 Yeah he is and I have to say no one loves John Williams more then I do but with JJ directing part of me was kind of hoping we would get to hear Giacchino's take on Star Wars for an interesting change.  But hey you can't have everything.

 um . . .no.  No one is allowed to touch a Star Wars movie soundtrack but Williams.

 The man is like a thousand years old at this point it has to be something the producers are at least planning for, I mean if he were to drop dead tomorrow I wouldn't want them to cancel episodes eight and nine because I get the feeling this story is planed as part of trilogy.

Also as much as I love Williams(and if you look at the number of his soundtracks I own that is a lot)I have to admit the last score he did that didn't feel like a complete retread of his earlier scores was Catch Me if you can and that was more then a decade ago. Maybe at least giving him someone new to work with to help him come up with some new ideas wouldn't be that bad of a move.

Yeah that looks like a girl and the shoes are pink.
