I worry about this a lot in this thread lately, if only on a relatively minor scale.

I’m not crazy. I’m very considerate of other people.

That is not craziness. Antisocial people are anything but crazy. They lack empathy, and may even be considerate as they display this lack of empathy. I’m not trying to say you are antisocial, but some of what you describe makes me wonder if you feel you have such traits. It could be worth getting some therapy if you feel you fit the mold.

I’m empathetic in the sense that when I see or hear about other people being mistreated I get really angry. I don’t really trust therapists though, and I don’t know if I’d be able to hide going to one from my family since I’m still young enough to be on my parents’ medical insurance.

Not sure why we have to focus on H.W. now.

Apparently this started once he got to be 90 years old and wheelchair bound. At least he and his people offered an apology.

You’re kidding, right?

“President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind,” the statement said.

McGrath issued a second statement later Wednesday to provide context.

“At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures,” McGrath said. “To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke — and on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner. Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely.”

This is one of the worst excuses I’ve heard for sexual harassment/assault, and that’s leaving out the non-apology of “to anyone I offended” which is a way of saying "I did nothing wrong and sorry you’re so sensitive.

Idk. Fuck everyone involved. I hate everyone including all of them.

That’s a bit of a cop-out.

I meant what I said and I don’t care what it sounds like.

Terrible DVD/Blu-ray Cover Art

correct. Even the initial anniversary DVD release included the restored theatrical at the demand of Spielberg. Later DVD editions were SE only, though.

That’s what I thought. I’ve never seen the SE so I don’t know what I’m missing other than the walkie-talkies and some shitty out of place CGI. I bought a cheap steelbook of the BD recently and will be including it in my Friday-Tuesday Halloween marathon as a nice break from the violent horror stuff. It’s good to know that there’s no chance I accidentally got the SE instead of the original.
