Agreed.

Taken out of context and misconstrued.

You have a really limited understanding of human emotions and experiences beyond your own life if you think that’s the case.

How characteristically condescending.

Though it’s clear to me you are really just as emotional.

What gave away the part that I was emotional (if the definition of emotional is: has emotions)? When I said I was pissed off?

You’re not familiar with his comedy. Observe as Jon Stewart laughs his head off as Norm pokes fun at Marlon Brando’s Oscar acceptance speech. You either get it or you don’t. That’s comedy. Everyone who knows him loves him.

I am more than familiar with him and have laughed at some of his jokes in the past , however , in that article you posted , the equating of Down Syndrome to a lack of empathy diminishes my opinion of him as his comment diminishes those with down syndrome . He calls for forgiveness and a second chance and then makes that comment ? WTF ?

He makes comments like that all of the time. He even uses the dreaded “r-word” from time to time. It’s a dumb comment, but that’s the sort of thing he does. He’s no saint, but he is funny. I imagine saints aren’t that funny anyway.

And for Norm’s reaction when he heard he had made senior producer’s cry:

'I said, “You think I shouldn’t do the show?”. He said: “People are crying”, [Fallon said].

'I said, “People are crying?” “Yeah”, he said, “my senior producers are crying”.

'I said, “Good Lord, bring them in and let me talk to them”. I didn’t even know I had the capacity to make people cry. So I felt so bad from that comment.

‘Jimmy said, “Come back whatever you want but I think it will hurt the show tonight”. I said, “Jimmy, I don’t want to hurt your show. That’s the last thing I want to do is hurt your show”.’

He said that those losing their jobs (due to their own behavior) have it worse off than those actually being raped and harassed.

No he didn’t.

He’s arguing that those fighting against sexual predation are irrational and infantilized. Which is stupid and irrational.

If you aren’t going to bother to understand what I am saying, then you are being stupid and irrational. I’m done talking to you. I’m saying that people who cry over the very thought that someone doesn’t necessarily agree with them are irrational and infantilized. Crying is not a natural response to something so minor.

And Norm Macdonald says he’s glad “Me Too is done” or whatever. How anyone could take Norm’s side on this is insane to me.

You have taken his comments out of context. I again point to his mention of Chris Hardwick and how the simple question that people ask for evidence is considered outrageous.

Society has been infantilized to the point where any real challenge cannot even be comprehended. I am upset that I have to share this earth with them, even moreso that I am young, that the reasonable people will die off before I do.

The irony is that you’re being just as emotional and irrational as you claim they are.

I’m not crying or demanding someone lose their job for upsetting me.

Norm Macdonald Tonight Show Appearance Cancelled After #MeToo Comments

This really pisses me off. Not only are his comments reasonable, they have nothing to do with what anyone is getting upset at. And of course, the best way to traverse a controversy is to deny the man in the middle of it a voice.

Even moreso, his comments had made senior producers of the show cry. I am not sure how we as a society can continue if we cry over a differing viewpoint. Everyone upset at him has taken his comments out of context and misconstrued them. The man is a comedian ffs.

The internet freaking sucks. This groupthink mentality is killing us.

How the hell were his comments reasonable?

It’s insane how people will always defend the dipshit over the people who are actually hurt.

I don’t know. Did you actually read them? He’s saying we don’t give people due process or anything before taking away their livelihood. He mentions Chris Hardwick, a guy who did actually lose his job before he could prove his ex-girlfriend who had accused him of abuse was crazy.

And who was hurt?

This is okay, but the original poster stuck in the middle of the left side doesn’t really jive with the rest of it. Ruins the perspective. Like, why not just use the original poster?

I wish this was real. That or Ambassador Picard. I imagine they’ll go for the dumb angle though.

Alright, I won’t bother with getting the new Strangelove then. It’s also in a nice steelbook. But I might look at getting the Criterion release of The Graduate.

Envious. I have the previous releases for The Graduate and Dr. Strangelove. I’m not sure I’d be able to get rid of them for an upgrade.

The guys in that Dark Knight thread would definitely appreciate your recounting of the colors of that print.

Is there a preservations thread? I will say it looked like a slightly older print. Not a lot of damage, but it seemed a little darker and greener than I remembered. Granted, last time I saw it in theaters was ten years ago, but I saw it three times then, and once on IMAX 70mm.

Here it is.

Yeah, nothing tops the original. Though a few come close.

The guys in that Dark Knight thread would definitely appreciate your recounting of the colors of that print.

Let’s see, I’ve got:

Charade
The Great Dictator
The Manchurian Candidate
The Philadelphia Story
Rebecca
Classic Hitchcock Boxset
The BBS Story Boxset
His Girl Friday
The Passion of Joan d’Arc
King of Jazz
Yojimbo
And all of the Wes Anderson ones.

Glad to hear it, mfm.
