You believe that the author actually considers this “cool”? Did you read the text of the article? Do you have any comprehension of tone at all?

Yeah, cage pitches his performance to the material. He knows when a script demands over the top scenery chewing.

My wife and I will sometimes get drunk and then post stupid things on social media about how great our bartender was, or how something the other person said was the funniest thing ever. No blood ever spilled. Weird, right?

Wish I’d read your post before I replied with my own less-well-worded version of the same point. :-)

Was his ENTIRE class snapped? Was every extra we saw in a classroom in Homecoming snapped?

When that’s literally the entirety of your response to a statement made in a casual conversation, yes, it is confrontational. A complete sentence would be the bare minimum required to achieve anything like a polite tone.

The world is a big place. A tiny fraction of a percent of the human population can still be many people. I am not the only person I have ever met who snaps this way, and I have met a pretty tiny percentage of the world’s population. So, yes, I extrapolated.

I never said that at all. At no point did I claim that snapping with the ring finger was universal, or even the norm. All I ever said was that snapping with the middle finger is not universal, and that snapping with the ring finger is not entirely unheard of.

Really? It makes more sense to you to suggest that someone doesn’t know which is their fucking ring finger than to accept that maybe, just maybe, not everybody’s digits naturally bend/flex exactly like yours do?

I mean, my own hands are two of my sources...

Same for me when I try to snap with my middle finger.

I would assume physiological. I physically cannot snap with my middle finger.

No, she’s not right. Many people snap with their ring fingers.

No, many people snap with their ring finger.

Ring finger. Many people snap with their ring finger. Personally, I cannot snap with my middle finger.

Yeah, IM2 is aggressively, obnoxiously, in-your-face bad.

Off topic, just wanted to congratulate you on one of the all time great user handles.

Hey, I know how condescending people can be toward strangers on the internet, so it’s not unusual to find claws at the ready. :-)

I wasn’t condescending to you; I was just conversing with you. And I wasn’t actually arguing that the movie was particularly special or insightful.

Favreu didn’t direct Swingers, just wrote it. But he might have picked up some tricks from Doug Liman.
