  1. there are way too many shitty films to be named, so i will just mention something more recent:

    127 hours

    my god that shit was boring. and i like danny boyle (prof pic). and when it comes to franco, i guess you can say im somewhere between hate and indifference.

    and as for black swan, it was definitely an overrated film, but i dont think it deserves to be in anyone's all-time worst list.

  2. i hate it when people hold the door from me when im still like fucking 30 feet away from the door.

    i mean, i appreciate the gesture, but fuck now im basically forced to run 30 feet to the door because you're waiting.

  3. i know it's fashionable for most academics to make fun of fukuyama, but lately, with all the political revolutions in the middle-east, i cant help but feel that he is right in some way. interesting book though, even if you dont take him too seriously.

  4. most of the compliments i give are purely perfunctory, so it doesnt really matter to me whether the other person returns it with a another meaningless compliment.

    the notion that every single compliment you give has to be entirely sincere is just stupid. in most cases, apologies, expressions of gratitude, compliments, et cetera are just functional gestures that living and interacting with other people demands.

    to be fair, most people arent exactly sincere when they just say thank you in response to a compliment received. it's another meaningless claim made to serve a particular social function. although there are certainly exceptions, i doubt anyone is genuinely grateful for compliments received in every day situations; but we still say "thanks" anyway.

    i wouldnt get so serious and start talking about intentions and meanings in something that is generally mundane in its nature. just my 2 cents.

  5. hate that fucking CWG favorite quote on facebook:

    LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE

    and on the other hand, i also hate that fucking Mad Men quote most douchebags have on their profile:

    "You're born alone and you die alone and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts. But I never forget. I'm living like there's no tomorrow, because there isn't one."

    fucking stupid.
