If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

You know when someone does something shitty to you, then you say, “Hey, that thing you did, that was pretty shitty,” and instead of saying “Oh, I’m sorry, man,” they go to great lengths to explain why what they did wasn’t shitty at all with no hint of an apology?

Yeah, that. I wanna bitch about that.

Fuck people.

I never bring anything up to people that bother me anymore. I just let them be, they’re not going to change.

Bride of Frankenstein deserves more than a 75%.

Probably my favorite movie.

Now this I don’t understand. I mean, it’s a fine movie, but I’m thoroughly more entertained by many other pictures.
(not knocking you or anything, I’d just never expect to see someone list it as their favorite of all time)

The story (in the movie, it’s sources and behind the scenes)
The music
The sets
The costumes
The cinematography
The style
The dialog
The metaphors
The symbology
The acting
The players
The direction
The mood
The story
The lore
The IDEAS

It’s not perfect, but nothin’s better.

This is a more concise way to say what you just said:

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Wow, a 16/16.

It’s twice as good as an 8-ball movie.

Can you give me the backstory to the whole rating things by balls?

IIRC someone came on here and randomly rated a movie something like seven out of eight balls, and was never heard from again. We couldn’t tell if they were a bot or not.

Reported for responding to a request by mfm, who as we all know is a nasty and mean spirited unpleasant person.

ender sock confirmed.

I gave the exact reasons for the missing star. The namesake of the picture is brushed over in a ten second shot that had no purpose.

It’s a beautiful shot that communicates the scene from the book without words. See? This is why arguing disagreements over art is so pointless. Ultimately, as far as I’m concerned I’m right and you’re wrong. And as far as you’re concerned, I’m wrong and you’re right.

I’ve seen many people list Bride of Frankenstein as their favorite movie. You gave one of my favorite movies a 3 star rating, Lord of the Flies, and gave a really low score to it’s Rob Reiner remake, which I also like. I have some childhood nostalgia for both since I saw them young, but I think they’re both great. I don’t usually see the point of arguing as to why someone shouldn’t love a movie. That’s why I just resort to saying, “I’m right. You’re wrong.” 😉

I guess I like being able to say how much I liked the movie in a concise and simple manner. It’s not meant to be a precise mathematical representation, just a general ‘how much I liked it’ and I’m sorry that I obviously think differently than you guys do. I suppose I’ll be less lazy and just do a short review in the future.

How about, “I liked it a lot,” “It was technically good, but overall not one of my favorites,” “I hated it!” “I loved it,” or “This is one of my favorites.” Very concise, easy to understand, and probably quicker than typing out the star ratings.

For sure. Probably my favorite movie.

moviefreakedmind said:

That’s why you just need to say, “I like the movie because . . .” or “I didn’t like the movie because . . .”

That way we actually know your opinion on the movies you’ve watched.

Yep. Star ratings usually say nothing at all.

I give this post ★★★★★ out of ★★★★★.

Personally I’d give it a ★★★★ out of ★★★★.

Most Disappointing / Satisfying Aspect of the Sequel Trilogy?

The denial of fan service is the crux of your hatred of his death?

Also, how was it cheap? The whole movie was building up to it.

The only enjoyment I got out of it was being justified in my initial prediction about the movie- It’ll mostly be a remake of Star Wars and Han will die instead of Obi-Wan.
Just seemed like a box to be ticked.

Yep. Not wanting a beloved character to die just for the sake of cheap drama isn’t a desire for fan service.

You’re a writer, a for now write a story about hypocritical church goers. Make it a comedy, or a horror, or something like that. Then you can enjoy church on the level of looking for something to write about.

I’ve tried, and try again often, but I always write myself into corners and abandon stories frequently.

Plan a brief outline and force yourself to finish a story. Even if you think it sucks, finish it.

Church is usually alienating for me, but today was painfully so and I’m sinking into existential despair. There was a guest band selling CDs in the lobby, ignoring that Jesus would flip their table. Then there was a guest speaker (did the typical staff get lazy?) that preached that good people watch Fox News, don’t pay attention to “fake research,” though didn’t cite sources for his own “research,” and rambled about “true disciples” vs. “converts and cultural Christians whose kids and grandkids are going to hell.” The worst part is that my parents got super emotional listening to this man, and I feel like they’re about to take another sharp right turn if you know what I mean. I feel horribly trapped and scared.

Once you’re an adult you’ll rarely have to get roped into going to church again. You’re a writer, a for now write a story about hypocritical church goers. Make it a comedy, or a horror, or something like that. Then you can enjoy church on the level of looking for something to write about. Or do something else. Just find a way to tolerate it if you’re going to continue going.

Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo

Mrebo said:

I’d drive myself to insanity if I cared about annoying liberal nitwits with dedicated fan bases. To each their own, I just don’t get the obsession with these personalities - that includes fans and detractors. Some time ago a liberal friend was complaining about Tomi Lahren and her influence. I regularly read a number of conservative sites and my response was, “who?” Literally never heard of her. I think these objectionable people get far more attention on the sites dedicated to the opposite politics, creating a skewed perception of how important they are.

Not really. People like Tomi Lahren and Alex Jones actually influence our nitwit of a president. He quoted Lahren’s “Caravan of immigrants” Fox & Friends segment and has contacted the psychopath Jones on multiple occasions.
