You're absolutely right that I didn't read over many of the comments here. Mine was more of a general comment about the internet's reaction to Rollins' words that has been hard to ignore over the past couple of days. That said, I would expect that you're one of the open-minded people who have gained insight from…

Congratulations. You're the big winner.

Are you really suggesting that you can not see where that quoted sentence is questioning priorities rather than actually suggesting that people go out and save the world?

No, I wouldn't. In fact, I find it really intriguing that people regularly prioritize their outrage over having their feelings hurt over real world problems. That was the whole point of my comment.

I'm really just commenting on the fact that I think this outrage showcases misplaced priorities. It was meant to be a one-off comment on how people were reacting to Rollins, but now we're here - 3 comments later - and I've been accused of telling people to go out and save the world…which is astonishing.

Your first paragraph pretty much hits the nail on the head here. I can't tell you how many tweets and facebook posts I've read over the past couple of days crying out over how offended they are (as people who suffer from depression) that Henry Rollins chose to voice his opinion.

Yes…that's exactly what I'm saying. I'm saving the world from hunger.

I'm not defending him. In fact, I don't really agree with him at all. What I'm pointing out is how asinine all of this fabricated outrage, hand-wringing, and narcissistic sense of entitlement to never being offended has become.

There is no "correct path", that's the point. Some people who have suffered from depression I'm sure agree with Rollins, while others don't. The only thing that's a definite is that anytime someone does anything less than coddle our emotionally spoiled, first world sensibilities we'll be certain to let everyone know…

Quick! Everyone wave your hands in the air to tell the world how offended you are by this. If you don't act now you might lose your chance at getting some attention and sympathy for being offended.

I'd have given The Iceman a B.  It was far from great, but all of the performances were fantastic (even Schwimmer's and especially Shannon's and Evans').  I can forgive some of its storytelling shortcomings for really solid acting.  Also, the frame composition (the cinematography overall, really) was surprisingly good…
