Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, I think most people will probably miss my attempts to correct the error. Ah, well. Having strangers think less of me online for mistaken reasons is still better treatment than most teachers put up with.

“the people they need to attract and retain not run off (sic) are the ones that seem to leave.” I was trying to call attention to how this part of their comment applies to teachers, too. Far too many talented, excellent teachers leave the profession due to burnout.

None, and only now do I realize how my comment communicated the opposite of what I was trying to say. I was trying to call attention to the “the people they need to attract and retain not run off (sic) are the ones that seem to leave” part of their comment. Being married to a teacher, I’ve seen far too many of my…

I’m only now realizing how poorly construed my response was.

You are right about teachers being shat on. My wife is a teacher, and some of the ways parents have communicated with her have... sigh.

It’s not ‘til I re-read the comment I was responding to that I realized how I could be misconstrued. I was referring to the “the people they need to attract and retain not run off are the ones that seem to leave” part of their comment.

So exactly like the teaching profession, basically.

Don’t forget the several lines devoted to what the serial killer’s farts are like. King sure loves himself some toilet humor.

He likes all types of music, though. He’s always been a bit of an omniglot toward all aspects of pop culture. I remember him waxing poetic about Amy Winehouse in one of his “Pop of King” articles for Entertainment Weekly back in the day.

I mean, yeah, that’s probably true. Also, holy crap am I out of touch with what’s gone on in this last era. I’ll get back to everybody on whether or not I actually decide to fix that. (Either way, though, thanks for the response.)

This is probably the best way anyone could have responded to my question. XD
Thank you for reminding me of the MST3K Mantra:

Man, I really wanted this movie to be better than it was. Like you said, it wasn’t bad, just mediocre and pretty forgettable. But it could have been great, instead.

I’m bit rusty on my Doctor Who fandom, but wouldn’t someone whose parents didn’t marry until 2010 be, at most, 13 years old? Yeah, yeah, I know, wibbly wobbly, timey wimey, but still. This timeline does not add up.

I wonder whether the Kill Count’s James A. Janiesse would welcome this. Seeing as he’s recapping horror movies on his Kill Count videos, it seems like he’s constantly dealing with Youtube bans (often seemingly-petty, misguided ones). If this new policy provides a buffer against getting strikes, it’s probably a sigh of…

Yeah, personally I wasn’t the biggest fan of 300, but I would agree it is definitely one of his better films. Funny enough, the thing that sinks the film for me is the same thing many people complain about for Watchman, and that’s those dumb, overwrought, fast-then-slow-then-fast-motion-again action scenes (the…

Hey, from one ADHD sufferer to another, I’m happy to help!

Yeah, I also don’t understand why those moments were cut, especially since even though there’s some light body horror left on the cutting room floor, I don’t really think there’s anything that would have bumped it up to an R rating, or anything.

Oh, yeah, it’s definitely my preferred version of the movie, if possible. That said, though, like MadMikeyY says above, the changes are really extensive at all; it’s mostly just little moments here and there that sweeten the context of various moments and scenes.

Yeah, you’re not wrong in that (1) those moments are still present in any version you watch and (2) still very much suck. I’ll even throw on there just how awful that sex scene set to “Hallelujah” is... it may be one of the worst scene he’s ever directed, second only to the “Martha” scene in BvS.

I respect your opinion on BvS and MoS just as much as I disagree with it. Though do believe me when I say I am always happy when a movie I didn’t enjoy nevertheless has fans, because hating on people for liking something you didn’t is just wasted energy. I instead prefer to be glad that the movie was satisfying to some…
