People should learn to write and learn to write well. Pen and paper are a lost art because of filthy Millennials thinking they’re not necessary because they can just text their friends messages that the government can see.

I do think that Twitter and texting are making people functionally illiterate. If you ever doubt that a significant portion of our population are absolute fools, then take a look at social media. The average message looks something like this:

“U r got to be jk wit me. pics or it didn hapen. Btw, were U at, gurl?”

It gets the point across, which is all that matters.

You’re only making fun of it because you weren’t brought up with it and people are inherently suspicious of the youth. Also, how you write today would be described the same way to people from 200 years ago.

Yes, but misspelling every other word and writing as though you are functionally illiterate looks like shit and makes you look like you have severe mental problems. I make fun of it because it is idiotic.

No, it’s not. I feel that it’s just change. Severe mental problems is a severe overstatement.

You can’t deny that some people do write in the absolute disgusting and pathetic way that I mocked earlier. If that is just change, then it’s regression. And I stand by my statement that comments such as this:

U r got to be jk wit me. pics or it didn hapen. Btw, were U at, gurl?

make people sound like they have severe mental problems. At the very least it makes them look illiterate.

EDIT: Also, it rarely gets the point across because it is often incomprehensible.

I love the eponymous Cars album.

I’ve never seen a Jazz compilation that has an album cover that fits the excellence of the music itself.

Nevermind

Christianity, according to the Bible, was never meant to have a religious institution overseeing all of Christendom. That was an invention of the Papacy.

I don’t believe in God. I used to, but then my pessimism got in the way and I realised that the idea of God just isn’t one I can seriously believe. I don’t have any faith in some supreme being, I don’t believe in Heaven or Hell, I do believe that Jesus was real, but think he was some crazy guy who was executed because of his ways. So yes, just my two cents on Religion (particularly Christianity). I don’t have one.

You’re young, it varies. I’ve been on a roller-coaster ride of religious confusion since I was 14.

More likely in Utah. Believe it or not, I have many loved ones who are Mormon as well! And I also have a loved one who has left the faith, yet has remained very loved by his family.

Maybe, but it is a problem that seems more prevalent in Mormonism than nondenominational Christianity. I’ve noticed that Mormonism demands (what I would call) unhealthy devotion to the church. Particularly with how they send youth, often inexperienced, on missions in communities completely unknown to them.

I know from loved ones that Mormonism is similar to Islam in that families, generally speaking, shun members who leave. A relative of mine is living as a nominal Mormon purely to satisfy her community and family. She’d never work in that town again otherwise.

Those Halloween remakes are a perfect example of excessive profanity ruining a movie. Rob Zombie has defended them but I don’t get how he could possibly think that that is how real people behave.

Usually curfew laws are only on the books in areas with drug or gang problems.

Into Darkness does for TWOK what Force Awakens does for ANH.

I defend STID but TFA was much better.

I disagree. Unlike Into Darkness, I have no desire to see TFA again, or at least not anytime soon.

Into Darkness does for TWOK what Force Awakens does for ANH.

Battlefield Earth - I think people struggle to take this seriously for two reasons; it was written by L. Ron Hubbard, the creator of Scientology, and that it was a hideous movie in 2000. It really is a great book though.

It’s hard to tell sometimes.

No, I haven’t watched your edit, but I will definitely put it on my list.

Agreed. The worst thing about Scream 2 in my opinion was how the mystery was handled; there were no clues throughout the movie that pointed towards the culprit. I think that going the comedic route was probably a good choice though since there’s really no way to beat the first reveal. Scream is an awesome film. It’s actually where I got my “moviefreakedmind” name from.

Scream 2 was a good sequel, although I don’t think the Scream formula translates out of the high school setting very well.

Yeah, Halloween II ain’t bad, but it’s not worth repeat viewings if ya don’t wanna give it a second go.
Speaking of the cinematography, I love the way the camera moves and the way shots are composed, but neither film looks like Halloween at all. They look like early summer in California (it was) when it’s supposed to be fall in Illinois. The trees are all wrong. A few shots in the first one have some fake fall leaves thrown about, but not many. Carpenter helped to compose a color regrade of one of the DVD releases and it looks great. More orange in the trees and much more of a fall feel while keeping the cool blues and such. I wish that version would have been carried over to Blu-Ray.
I actually really like Halloween III. It has nothing to do with any of the others though and it is goofy. But it’s one of my Halloween season must-watch films.

Definitely, anyone who’s lived in the suburbs in the Midwest can see right through the supposedly Halloween setting.

The Very Beast of Dio - DIO (Compilation Album)

Ronnie James Dio is another guy who’s been snubbed too many times by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I’ve known the people in charge of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were full of shit for a while, but it’s strange that he wasn’t even honored as a member of Black Sabbath.

Marvin Gaye binge:

What’s Going On is my favorite.

Jungle Boogie - Kool & the Gang
