I don't know...if you'd read my post, you'd have read my asking whether or not this is the way people actually talked back then, so...I'm doubting it.
Don't remember ever seeing this, but yeah...once you start glorifying the perfect foot, anything less than just cannot be abided by. But...that being said, her second toe is enough of a beast that it should have been a deal breaker when it came to deciding on those closeups, cmon now lol
I'm with you...and have to agree that now that the Dunning Krueger effect, or whatever its called, has been introduced into the popular lexicon, its become more of a buzzword, a put-down for those with that kind of a knee-jerk reaction to being contradicted.
It doesn't nearly have the clout it could have if it were used less frequently like that.
But yeah, I'm also thinking of Tarentino insisting that he be the one to choke that one actress in Inglorious Basterds...are there other things?
I could see him having some other motivation for portraying feet the way he does, is all...that's an interesting take that'll have to be explored further =]
That's amazing...I never considered that...
Also in the same movie, the hippy girl with her feet smashed up against the windshield? They looked pretty bad there too..
Yeah that's something to think on...it really does seem like he went out of his way to make sure the feet don't come across as "pretty".
That was me making fun of you...on account of your trying so hard to be seen as smart?
Your taking it literal is just more evidence of your dumbassery.
Also, what the hell is a phras? Mr. "You can't write for shit". lol
You should get your ducks in a row if you're going to go around being such a pedantic little twat. Otherwise it just kinda looks like desperate posturing from someone insecure about their own intellect.
Its alright man, you don't have to always be the smartest guy in the room.
You're trying WAY too hard here, guy.
If it wasn't so condescending it'd be a little sad. But, yeah you just sound like a prick.
Just wanted to point out that I've read this twice and really appreciate what looks like tact in your explanation. Whether you disagree politically with him or not, there's a palpable sense of objectivity here that you wouldn't normally find in discussions like this.
Very well said...you not only seem intelligent as hell, but as a great candidate for arbitrating a discussion between two people with opposing political viewpoints.
Just impressed, is all...very good ebhaynz.
Huh, interesting.
I liked that it was unique...and yeah good point, it stuck with me for a bit so that's saying something.
Thanks for your post here as well, I'm going to have to watch that Assistant movie now. I've never seen that actress in anything subpar so I'm betting on it despite its mediocre rating. Some movies just aren't for everyone.
Its been too long now since I've seen this, but it seems like you picked up on more than I did. That makes it make a lot more sense though...and yeah I guess being a psychopath kind of negates the necessity of having rock-solid reasoning to begin with!
Thanks Inamina
Lol it was a great show, tons of heart...not sure why anyone would be gloating about it getting cancelled but people are weird here, I guess.
I thought that ultimately she was looking for proof...remember that her husband had given her the ultimatum to either leave for rehab or he was going to kick her out...either way she wouldn't have been there to protect her children.
So she needed something to point her husband to in order to be believed.
Ditto
Does the word "context" mean anything to you? Because different words are used in different scenarios, and in the sentence you attempted to correct me on, the correct word is disinterest. "You came here to announce your uninterest"...that sounds right to you? Cmooon....
Diction or context, schooling is still the right word as well, but truth be told I generally don't make pains to try and sound like I know how to grammar correctly anyway, I enjoy writing fluidly and with a touch of humor that sometimes plays with the words themselves. But I also don't try to correct others...whether it be their grammar or whatever else, just because its difficult not to sound condescending but also because I can't always be 100% confident that I know what I think I know, and honestly, there's not much more humbling than being corrected on a correction.
That's awesome you've been published numerous times...myself only twice, but then you have to know that there are often editors involved in the process that'll correct your stuff, so...you don't always have to be a grammatical genius in that realm, you know?
Why the hell did you answer this ten months later? Lol wtf...get back to writing your shit, the readers are waiting!
I just got home from it, don't remember any Charlie being mentioned but also wasn't looking for it..who's Charlie?
My exact thought on this film...was going to wait and watch it at home but had heard a couple different times how much of a big-screen movie it is...and after seeing it, yeah it'd have definitely been a shame to not experience it in all its glory.
Oh, and the theater had their speakers pumped up pretty high...so much so that I was a little worried it might be too much at first, but it ended up being perfect. What a ride, great movie!
You know...I'd be interested in seeing a single example of that. Someone complaining about a poorly written character and someone else jumping all over them calling them a racist etc?
Because I'm as liberal as they come and think she was a poor character...
Where'd you see this?
Know what I think? I think its bullshit...something you hear time and time again about how you just "Can't say anything without being called" whatever. Its not true. At all.
Oh my God dude...
This is really too silly to reply to but I'll just say that I can imagine someone saying the same thing if the bad guy was a man, how once again men are put in as the evil bastard...
Now its a black woman and its about how she had to win over the man who...
whatever, this is stupid. And old.
Here's the post I came here for lol
Yeah I enjoyed the episodes a lot...its a great show. So much so that the chase scenes seemed so out of place, they were bad. BAD bad. So bad that I looked up the actress to check her age...she somehow looks like she's 6-7 years old but no, apparently she's 9, maybe even ten now.
Because she didn't look much more difficult to catch than a toddler...lol really.
At one point Obi is right behind her as she starts to run off, they round a corner and suddenly he's a good 20 yards behind her...
It was bad, it was silly and it was weird as hell that they didn't figure out a better way to shoot that considering how well done the rest of the episodes seemed to be. Really pulled me out of the show.
Also, thank you...yeah I didn't much realize what was going on with that Reva woman and yeah, that's it...she's just not selling it for me. That's exactly it.
This is a silly reply.
Edit, I see you amended your stance there. Yeah not everyone is looking for a fight, good call.
