wow its funny how [EDIT}youre such an asshole but that is one of my favorite spielberg as well as decaprio flicks

[NatseOklim]

No no no, you CANNOT say it's his finest film. You're just not allowed to, it's a good film but are you saying it's better than Raiders, Close Encounters, Schindlers List, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, Empire of the Sun or ET?

[juliaN.]

it isn't his most ambitious or iconic work, but it's my personal favorite, tightly shot, watchable film that flows by so smoothly from start to finish without a blink that it's gone before you realize.

there are much shorter movies that feel twice as long.

and yes, probably my favorite dicaprio as well. that role fit him to a tee

out of the list you named, the only one i think i like better is ET. Saving Private Ryan is good as well, one of the best opening sequences

in retrospect, jaws, schindler's list and jurassic park stand as mass-production comedies of grand scale.

[djrajio]

Well at least you weren't forced to see benjamin button twice in the last three days. If I have to see "Forrest Gump in reverse" one more time again I'm gonna kill myself.

[ProfMonnitoff]

i havent seen slumdog yet but the main character played in skins so i cant see how it could possibly live up to its academy awards

should i pay money to go see it?

i thought benjamin button was ok but i certainly wouldnt go out to see it a second time unless it was part of a larger scheme

[fads]

my date canceled on me at the last minute last night

some sick bs

fuck

...retry in few days

at least i still had a good time

[Gravitas]

Wow, some really awkward shit happened last night. It all started while I was at work, I was thinking and I realized that I didn't want to associate with her as I couldn't really call what we had "friendship." I went home to grab a notebook and stared writing (in cursive with pen no less) a full page letter stating my reasoning.

It started with me stating what the letter was, then it went on to how being around her made me feel (used) and how I realized that I shouldn't settle as genuine people do exist.

Then I moved onto her, I said she was immature, insecure and unstable and that I would rather not speak to her again, or at least until she matures somewhat. I finally said that the girl who told her she was a bad person was right and that the letter was my way of doing instead of just fucking saying.

I left the letter on her car. The whole day I was hoping someone wouldn't steal it, because if they did, I would just tell her "Fuck you" instead.

Fast forward to last night, I was going to pick up my friend so we could head to Best Buy to pick up an enclosure for my HDD from my laptop (it started smoking and I now have to send it into Asus [great customer support thus far, I am pleased]). Well, I am also friends with his sister and so is the girl that I told to fuck off. So as i'm coming down the street towards his house, a car is coming the opposite direction. I turn into the driveway and the other car was the girl coming to pick up his sister. She waves as she parks and I just wave oddly then make a face and look away. I'm sitting there waiting for him to come out but first comes out his sister. She looks a both cars then looks at me. Eventually she asked why I was there and I stated that I was picking up her brother.

So there they are, sitting in the car next to me as I wait for her brother. He comes out after a few minutes and as we are pulling out of the driveway I see that they are sitting in the car reading my letter. The girl i'm still friends with texted me about it later, but I didn't really know what to say. I don't feel bad at all, I need to do what is right for me, stop settling. I can't wait to get out of this place.

A special thanks goes out to juliaN. and Hollywood for the chat that partially inspired my current mood.

[Mr Waffles]

fuck em all

[jeepster]

I've been filled so much bilious hate and rage and negativity lately and I feel I owe a bunch of people on this board apologies, so I am doing just that.

If I have offended you in the past month or so, I am sorry. Shit's been very pear-shaped for me and it was unfair of me to offend in so many ways.

On another note, I am trying to better myself and find a happy medium. Right now I'm particularly empty though. Shucks.

[juliaN.]

they rarely do

dont pay money to see that shit

it's even worse than benjamin button

[Ahlvahroe]

so very tired, its really cold here in seoul, and apparently i dont get a break, i go right into work today

[pieiskewl]

First I loled at the kid, then I got pissed. Then I got pissed at all the idiot commenters.

agreed. those comments made me rage.

ones like, "he ain't your average dumb criminal. somebody in the fashion world needs to take this kid under his wing, basically adopting him.

and a judge needs to sentence him to working in a fashion house and clothing stores, and going to college to learn the workings of the fashion world. he obviously loves this stuff. it would be a shame for him to be another victim of the system (even if he is his own best enemy). but does a kid this intelligent, with this potential really need to be behind bars?"

rage of a thousand suns.

[dismalfuture]

classic. I've been taken from the airport to work before too, and then shown my apartment after clocking hours. Strike a balance between what they tell you to do and you tell them you're doing.

[jeepster]

Don't you hate it when someone you were really close with just doesn't return messages or calls or really makes no effort to keep up with you, except you try to keep up with them regardless?

faith in people is low these days.

[Gravitas]

Jeepster, that is one reason I told her to fuck off. I hate when people don't answer your calls except for when they have nothing to do. Then when you tell them you have or can get something (in my case hallucinogens) they get back to you immediately. If you don't want to do something, just fucking tell me.

[juliaN.]

with the grim tone of our Seoul members, time to cue "Coldest Winter"

[jeepster]

nah, not even. I was really close with this girl a couple summers ago and she essentially has tapered our friendship off to NOTHING since the end of that summer. I would call her and see if she wanted to hang out but like nothing, ever. Then one day over break she calls me while I'm at home and is like "I'm driving by your house!" and that's it. Fucking immature is what it is.

[Gravitas]

Imagine having that happen over a single day, as in you were really close friends with a girl for 4+ years, and had hung out with her almost every day for an entire summer, then having her not answer or return your calls one day.

People around here suck.

On another note, when I get nervous I either get really quiet or talk a lot. Add weed and you also get a third possibility, incessant laughter. I think I scare people off, especially any possible dates because I like to talk about geeky shit when I speak.

Don't do it. Shit is so vastly overrated.

[jeepster]

been doing all those things (save for the sewing machine) but I haven't felt actually compelled to do them. Just doing them cause I either have too or I get a quick burst of energy and once I get around to them for real it turns into nothing real quick.

sucks.

I wandered around NY all day today. It was nice just walking aimlessly, but I was wearing the wrong shoes and was not properly dressed at ALL.

I felt good when I did that.

[mpcec]

Gravitas that isn't just specific to your area haha... same shit happens all over. I definitely feel what you guys are saying. I hate fake flaky people.

[Gravitas]

I wandered NYC Thurs and Friday Jeepster, I was wearing AEs so my toes feel fucked, I thought they would be bruised when I took off my shoes. I must've walked at least 20-30 miles at least. I enjoy wandering around cities, it lets one get a feel for a place so much more than taxi or train.

mpcec, I know it isn't limited to my area, but I feel like the people in my area are more ingenuine than the people I have met other places. Meeting these other people showed me that and I realized that it is stupid to sell yourself short.

[Mr Waffles]

keep ya head up Jeep. We all go through periods where you just can't handle shit / feel unmotivated. I usually get a haircut or something or buy something trivial to make you feel better.

the haircut always makes me feel better.

i do this whenever i have the time. i've walked from columbia to downtown several times.

[jeepster]

that's a good thought. Need to clean up my grown out Jugend anwyays

[jeepster]

I walked from Grand Central to Prince, then walked down Mercer and looped around back to Broadway and took the train downtown.

[icandunkonu]

the world news is doing nothing to ease my worries about my ex lady being in mexico, drug wars.....wtf!

[mpcec]

When I am down I usually do a ton of cleaning and do lots of laundry. Cleaning/ folding laundry while listening to nice mellow music is really cathartic.
