I don't believe that. I think most people give in and let things be this way, but some people actually do things that there is no profit, even a loss, in.

Aren't those people doing exactly what they need to be doing?

I don't know if I've embraced it, exactly, but I've certainly come to accept it. I mean, I wish it didn't, but I also know there's nothing to be done about it.

fun fact: for the last year, whenever I type "shoe", it's actually a proofread correction

without fail, I'll type "show" by mistake

see there you go


it's like my whole '/; problem

I don't catch your meaning?

Aren't you saying "no one does anything if it doesn't profit them in money?"

Kuribo's Shoe

show is acceptable

hell, that's all anatole ever called me

wonder where that fagbot is these days

hambone

Fish sandwich farts are the worst kind of farts.

Raneados

anal toe still busters around TEETEEBEE I believe

trentsteel

Or are you saying that people only do things that benefit them? Even if it means feeling good about themselves or sleeping at night without guilt or feeling good for doing a good deed?

I hate that because doing something for that kind of 'profit' is way different than doing it for money.

No assignation of specificity, really. I'm saying that people will do what they will, que sera, sera.

Agreed DVD is better, the next thing is always better, but do we fucking need it?

that's a pretty shitty mentality, progress is always needed

Progress isn't even real.

Yeah, how is better entertainment progress? in the, lets get rid of disease and hunger and go into space sort of way? That's like saying being able to go on stage with the stripper and touch her is progress.

I couldn't agree more. As much as I love films and such, I think the entertainment industry is one of the largest wastes in society today. In the perfect world, all the money used in that industry could be put towards curing evils on this world or furthering our knowledge of space. But humans are too stupid for that, and we're so used to watching movies and TV that to think of getting rid of it is way too much to handle.

I don't know about you guys, but I watch all the special features on my DVDs. They're the best thing about having DVDs.

(Not a yuppie.)

The interview with Jackman by Rachel Weisz while he's getting his fake tatoo's done is pretty cool, made me respect the guy a little bit more as an actor.

Totally. I mean, do you ever just stand there, outside the mall with your slurpee and new hat, bag full of miniatures/comics/dvd's, recovering from some fast food meal you were too lazy to cook yourself and think about how you are going to spend the evening ordering pizza and watching movies while drinking beer and then capping the night off with some warcraft 3 and think "WOW, I am a waste of fucking life. There are people somewhere dodging bullets and living in fear and I'm standing here with my fucking toys and Season 2 of Lost?"

trentsteel

Although I guess I do have a job that helps people so that makes me feel better

Rankenphile

no

I like my hobbies

Faricazy

no because those people are living their life the way they chose, and i'm living mine the way i did.

Callius

Do you faggots realize that HD-DVD and BluRay are fantastic advances for the sciences and academic fields.

CrossBuster

I'm just bitter because I can't afford an HDTV.

I think about that all the time. That's mostly why i'm going to Europe for an entire year in June 2008 and hope to eventually become a photojournalist.

Good for you, Urian, a good photojournalist can change the world.

You should be one of those that starts out revealing atrocities worldwide, then uncovers some government corruption, photographs it and investigates it until they are almost poisoned/killed. Then escape into reclusive obscurity in the mountains.

Urian

Since the topic is at hand I might as well shamelessly plug my photo site (deviantart sucks, I know, i've been meaning to make a different album at flickr or something not as pretentious but i'm too lazy)

Oh god what I would do to infiltrate Area 51, take a few shots of aliens or something crazy, then make a dramatic escape as i'm fired upon by government agents and then pursued in an epic car chase.

If pro is the opposite of con does that mean that Congress is the opposite of progress?

Hahaha, what a self-righteous load of shit.

I thought this movie was really really pretty. I loved that it was chock full of all kinds of symbolism. The only issue I had was that there were a few plot points that I didn't really understand. That probably just means I'm dumb though.

it means this movie was too complex
