For the most part, this is absolutely right. Different tastes, different aspirations, etc. will lead to different art. I’m super tired of most horror material, but my hating it doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of well-crafted films for those who love it. People from unfamiliar cultures might employ novel narrative…

As a server, I washed my hands seemingly non-stop.  I also abstained from hugs, but that would’ve been a huge “yes” to washing after.

Your joke needs a rewrite, with better specifics.  Louis didn’t touch his victims, he touched himself.  Swap him out for another offender, or better address his offences.

The Holders of the Leash are probably just waiting for him to fixate on a country that isn’t a long time ally.

I absolutely believe the next war for USA will be “Civil War II: Some Decent People On Both Sides.”

This is terribly inconvenient. How am I supposed to feel that warm, smug swelling in my belly I *deserve* when we stick it to The Guvverment (those bastards!) with you going on about “people” and their “lives” and “ruining” them with crybabyhissyfits?!

Besides living so many of the universal Christmas Pains so perfectly realized in this movie (beaten up by bullies, aunt who gave uncool gifts, kid brother on a permanent hunger strike, dad’s prolific profanity leading to actual soap in *my* mouth, etc.), exteriors were largely filmed near where I grew up, so:

Blame it on LOTR, followed hard by Potterama. They left a wide wake of copycat colorists pumping out 3.5 hours at a time of perfect, zero-contrast grey scenes that look AMAZING!!! on a calibrated, $3000, 4k, no-glare monitor in a darkened room from 1 foot away, but puts me directly to sleep in any real life viewing…

On a decidedly different tier of filmmaking, I once crouched behind Margot Kidder, coaching her on an SUV’s “futuristic” controls. But I did get to be in the back seat with Lois Lane telling me about making Superman so my (barely) inner nerd was aglow.

Not everyone can be worthy of his *special* brand of flattery.

If anybody out there is still reading this, and has the kung-fu to get me outta the greys, please know I am not a roboshill, nor do I stand to make $any from this. I’m a back-to-disqus-days AVC type who just wants a little feedback on a record I’m making from folks who (according to these comments) know from good…

So loved “I Love Dogs” ;)

“Nobody knows anybody. Not that well.”

The jabs at her physical appearance seem a little base when there is so very, very, very much else wrong with how she thinks/talks/lives/makes her money to focus one’s (entirely legit) ire on.

Nothing you don’t mean just “slips out” of your mouth.  Only things you don’t want other people to hear.  

I once ordered the whole package from the “you could make a MILLION dollars from your own apartment” guy (RIP) because I was so deeply amused by his schtick and wanted to know what kind of hilarious nonsense comprised his Incredible Secret Formula for Success.

By far, the funniest part of his instructional video was…

Absolutely.  “The heat of the moment” only means your filters are off, and you say shit you’re “not supposed to say” but totally believe.  It doesn’t mean your brain conjures phrases diametrically opposed to your worldview.

I believe that was the alien gentleman’s sardonically-phrased point.

Every time I think, “alright, fine, it’s time to give in and Twit myself” I see something that reminds me so very aggressively of why it is NOT that time.

(It helps that seemingly 80% of “professional” reporting is a maximum of 50 words tying Twitter posts together, so we plebes aren’t missing much.)

See also, The Wachowskis. (Admittedly with shinier production design).
