I have seen all but the new one (I think) I don't intend to watch them, it just happens... -
Unless you like the shit that's slopped in front of you, then you wouldn't want or feel the need to go and seek anything else. -

Registered 12 years agoIf you like the shit thats slopped in front of you, imagine how much you would like something thats actually decent? -
It's not even really that. It's reading/watching as an active experience (IE involving thought processes) rather than just watching dumb spectacle or being told explicitly what to think and feel. The reason stuff like poetry, literature, arthouse cinema etc isn't in style at the moment has nothing to do with the content behind them, but more because people can't engage with them. They read/watch it, go "I don't get it" because it doesn't directly explain what there is to get, and write it off as pretentious and/or shit. -

If I was one of those that liked the shit that was slopped in front of me (I'm not) then I imagine I would be scared of anything that wasn't the shit that was slopped in front of me. The fear would make me angry and the anger would make me hate it. Then I would vent great rage, before focusing my little brain back to the shit that was slopped in front of me with a big silly grin on my face.
Edit: Also, what meme said...

Registered 11 years agoIt's basically just indicative of a more passive, unquestioning mind. One that will make good work in the salt mines of the future, but won't be welcome in my orbiting space station of enlightenment (and sex). It'll bring the tone of the place down. -

I blame the 80s, personally. Poetry especially was massively in style for much of the 20th Century, then died a massive death around then, fading into obscurity and poverty. Same with literary fiction and arthouse cinema.

Sounds gay.

One thing that slightly freaked me out was when I realised I was getting angry watching tv all the time. If it wasn't the absolute shash that was on, it was the adverts. I could write the biggest rant in history about adverts, but I digress.
Mrs doesn't really watch much TV either so about 7, maybe 8 years ago, I just disconnected the aerial. We now do various stuff and if we watch anything, it's because we'll have a conversation about what we would like to see, available either by our film collection or using an online player/lovefilm equivalent.
And going to a mates house and watching footy and seeing adverts is just weird to me now. (And makes me angry ) -

On the subject, nothing has made me angrier recently than the fucking Andrex scrunch or fold campaign. I want to find whatever twatty marketing company came up with that idea, and kill them until they're dead from it. Then seek out every vacant moron that agreed to be in it, and kill them until they're dead from it.
Fuck it, I'll boot the bloody puppy n all
I just think... Thousands and millions of years of evolution to this? Really? I'll get me coat. -

Registered 12 years agoMy taste in films is actually incredibly low brow, which is why Ive watched all these movies more times than some gaylord Malick movie, so im talking out of my arse.
If its not sci-fi/fantasy, fuck it in its ear. -

I don't think it's fair to judge someone based on their music or film tastes. Not everyone takes those things as seriously as you think they should.
I'm just sayin'. I know plenty of "smart" people who would take Transformers over something intellectual in regards to film any day of the week. I don't put that fact as any indication of their overall intelligence, though. -
Nah, if you like Transformers you're an idiot. It's a terrible film.
There are plenty of good quality "dumb" films you can watch like Jaws and Star Wars. Just because you want to watch something easy doesn't mean you should enjoy something bad. -
That I said Transformers wasn't really the point.
