The Pitters' Place

BruceSmith78

Bernstein bears fucked with me. I had a bunch of their books and swore it was stein, not stain.

How the fuck could anybdoy forget Newman tried to drive away and ran over a sign and spun it around and then told the dinosaur to fetch and got spit on and mauled to death? I don't get that one.

BruceSmith78

When you said Bully I thought you were talking about this, and I thought you were losing it. Turns out I'd never heard of Bully, or any of those other three movies you just compared.

BruceSmith78

Yeah, you're not responsible for some crazy person halfway around the globe in a country where, even if she wanted your help, nobody really cares about mental health except when we need something to blame for the latest mass murder.

BruceSmith78

I thought the cops just decided they didn't have enough evidence/wanted to give the lady a break on the dentist thing. Woody told them to let her go as they were carting him off to the hospital, and that's the last we heard about it. The whole burning down the police station was a bigger problem tha...

I thought the Patriots offense was fine, their lack of defense is what lost them the game.

BruceSmith78

I got a notification and a private message telling me I've been warned.

Worth it.

BruceSmith78

User was warned for this post.

BruceSmith78

I guess that's why I'm not a fan of poetry or paintings. I'm not hugely into music, but there are certain songs and genres that I like, and I never really thought much of it but they do tend to evoke certain feelings in me.

BruceSmith78

Do you really not get things like atmosphere in movies? I know you said before that you don't care much beyond story and whether a movie entertains you (I think), which I have no problem with, but really all atmosphere is is the mood the movie wants you to feel. Like, it's just the difference betwe...

BruceSmith78

I had it on VHS with an old school tube TV, so subtitles weren't an option, but I'm sure that would have helped.

BruceSmith78

Yeah, you said the same thing last time. Brando was definitely anti-climactic, but for me it wasn't in a good way. I guess it's because I have a very practical mind and symbolism is largely lost on me, or goes right over my head. I don't understand things like atmosphere in films and when people tal...

I think I had this discussion with Eva once before about Apocalypse Now. I tried watching it and never really got into it, but I turned it off when Marlon Brando finally got on screen. We had all this weird, disconnected shit going on (what the fuck was up with Robert Duvall on that beach, it was li...

BruceSmith78

I like Deer Hunter. It's not as good as Platoon or Full Metal Jacket, but it's good. Apocalypse Now is unwatchable.

BruceSmith78

Apocalypse Now is easily the worst movie on that list.

Is this not something where you can just stop using that email account or profile or whatever?

BruceSmith78

I saw it in my late 20's or early 30's, don't remember which, and I was hugely disappointed. It was pretty dumb. But so was Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Raising Arizona and pretty much every other Coens comedy (except Fargo, which I never thought of as a comedy but was apparently marketed as a come...

BruceSmith78

Yeah, I mean the only thing he really does for them is accidentally stumble across a herd of buffalo and then tip them off about it. They save his ass, and then he bails on them, saying some shit like he's put them in too much danger. I can see the point about it romanticizing the benevolent white m...

I'm digging it. I tried to have some version of this conversation, and I fucked it up and ended up feeling like a jerk. Anakin is doing a far superior job of exploring this ideology with DA.

BruceSmith78

Ghost was great.

I always wondered, what makes Dances with Wolves a white savior film?

BruceSmith78

Arkangel should have spoken to me, because my mom was the very definition of a helicopter mom, and that's pretty much why I cut off all contact with my family for most of my twenties, but I dunno. I felt myself sympathizing with the mom at times, even though she was clearly out of line with her shit...

BruceSmith78

I've seen Three Billboards, Ladybird, and Get Out. Of those, I liked Three Billboards best. Four of those movies in Best Picture I'd never even heard of.

BruceSmith78

Lol, that's great stuff.

BruceSmith78

I'm sorry but this thread made my night. I'm now tempted to create an email account just to email her and pretend to be Jeff. I doubt I'll do it, because I'd rather waste my spare time playing video games, but it's tempting.

BruceSmith78

Because the shortest season of the series takes the longest to make, obviously.

Ah, well I don't visit Reddit and the only time I go to Twitter is when some posts in that tweet of the week thread, so *shrugs*

BruceSmith78

I didn't really read that as painting all liberals in a certain light; he mentioned the liberal response on Reddit and Twitter and said a lot of libs are full of shit fuck bags. Anyway, regarding the OP, I think it's still clearly not enough. It's a step in the right direction maybe, but exposing a ...

Beans are the best protein source. And meat. Meat and beans. And milk. Meat, beans, and milk are the best protein sources.

I actually didn't even take the test. Who the fuck has time for 46 fucking questions?

I got Bill Clinton.

BruceSmith78

It's a different test, but the same type of bullshit questions that drive me mad.

BruceSmith78

I looked at question 1 and noped the fuck out. I had to take a test like this at work and I fucking hated it. A bunch of questions about "which is closer to what you think/feel/believe/prefer?" when often neither is remotely close, or I'm somewhere in between and I end up struggling and de...

He should run for president.

As I began reading that second paragraph, just that first sentence of the second paragraph, it hit me that you had to go through the terrible experience of deciding your father's fate, and I realized a lot of my comments were pretty insensitive given that context, so I'm really fucking sorry for tha...

BruceSmith78

I never said "this is definitely what she was thinking", but my experience has taught me that people don't die easily. They fight for their lives through the bleakest of circumstances. At least most of them do. It would be mighty presumptuous to just be like, "nah, you're suffering, s...

BruceSmith78

My first thought reading DA's justification for wanting to happily murder everyone was, "if someone told me I could press a button to immediately end everyone's life or I could submit to the most heinous torture imagineable for the next six months, I'd say 'fucking do your worst'." At leas...

BruceSmith78

What I mean is I initially thought you were just saying that if you're tired of taking care of your kids, then kill them. Fuck it, they won't care cuz they'll be dead. This is because Anakin's premise didn't specify how old the child was, or what their mental state was, and some of the other shit yo...

BruceSmith78

I almost commented earlier that I don't feel comfortable with abortion for the same reasons I don't feel comfortable with infanticide, and I haven't seen a clear argument to alleviate this discomfort for me, but I've always kept my mouth shut for the same reasons alluded to earlier in this thread - ...

BruceSmith78

I took Anakin's premise more along the lines of, "we're euthanizing this child because we're tired of taking care of it," and it having nothing to do with the interests of the child, because the only concern stated was that of the parents' inability to live the life they wanted. Also, age ...

BruceSmith78

I think you missed the quote from Anakin that he was responding to.

BruceSmith78

I mean it literally says a parent should have the right to euthanize (kill) their child if it causes them an undue burden (too much grief).

BruceSmith78

Care to explain what you got from that post?

BruceSmith78

It's reply #24.

BruceSmith78

Well I admitted right up front that I was sure I was missing something, and clearly Anakin was too. You said yourself it was badly worded, and so far I haven't seen any clarification. You argued for killing your kids when they cause you too much grief, didn't you? Then you say you're against murder?...
