You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
What bothers me is when Alice says "you're welcome" before Bob has a chance to say "thank you". It just sounds so snide; and like "here, you're welcome, you ungrateful clod".
Or when people say "you're welcome" in a sarcastic way. Like, "I used your toothbrush to brush the dog's teeth so we wouldn't have to put up with doggie-halitosis" "But we have lots of spare toothbrushes! Why did you use mine!" "You're welcome."
I dislike ingratitude. I also dislike passive-agressively calling the other person an ingrate.
AS FOR HULK’S FAVORITE MOMENT OF NONSENSE? (HULK ACTUALLY CAN NO REMEMBER IF IT TOOK PLACE DURING NEXT SEGMENT, BUT IT TIE INTO SPIRITUALITY SO IT GOING HERE) WHEN PRESENTED WITH MENTAL EXERCISE/TRUE HONOR OF HAND-COPYING A HOLY TEXT, AND WHEN SHE SPECIFICALLY ASKED NOT TAKE BOOK OUT TO GET IT COPIES… GILBERT FINDS “COMICAL” MOMENT TO STEAL BOOK TO GO GET COPIES MADE… WHICH SHE THEN LATER GIVE AS PRESENT. THIS CAUSE HULK’S JAW DROP. NOT ONLY SHE NO RESPECT WHAT ASKED TO DO, NOT ONLY SHE FUCKING SHOW INCREDIBLE DISRESPECT TO SACRED TEXT (THE PLACEMENT WITHIN HOLY CONFINES KEY TO INTEGRITY OF TEXTS) SHE JUST SORT OF SMILES THE WHOLE THING OFF. IT SUCH GREAT EXAMPLE OF BRAZEN AMERICANISM (I’M GONNA DO WHAT I WANT CAUSE IT’S EASIER AND FUCK RULES!). AND IT EVEN BETTER EXAMPLE OF “NOT GETTING” THAT THE POINT WAS TO LEARN THE DISCIPLINE OF THE COPYING AND NOT THE FINISHED RESULT. AND IT SUCH A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HER SHORT CUT TO SPIRITUALISM! THE WHOLE THING SHOW HER INSULTING PSYCHOLOGY IN A NUTSHELL.
Reading FILM CRIT HULK's essay on Eat, Pray, Love. Reading about this part is making me very upset.
AND LET NOT PRETEND “THE OTHER AMERICA” NOT PART OF THE AIM OF SELF HELP BOOKS. THE OTHER AMERICA READ/SAW EAT, PRAY, LOVE IN DROVES. HECK, EVEN MOST OF OPRAH’S AUDIENCE “THE OTHER AMERICA.” BUT THE SOLUTIONS PRESENTED IN BOOK NOT FOR FOR THEM. THEY DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE FUCKING CHANEL SUIT. THEY DON’T HAVE TO SPEND ALL THEIR EXTRANEOUS MONEY SO THEIR EX-HUSBAND DOESN’T GET IT. THEY DON’T WORRY ABOUT NOT BEING A SIZE 6.
Things that bug me: How hard wordplay generally is to translate. Okami. It's a neat little pun, in that it can be read either as Ookami (wolf), or O Kami (Great God), whilst in English it just sounds like a random Japanese word. (For those who haven't played Okami, the main character is the sun goddess Amaterasu in the form of a wolf. Also play Okami.)
At least Bakemonogatari translates pretty well, if only by luck. (Bakemono means monster, whilst Monogatari means tale/story. AKA Monstory.)
If I'm not mistaken, the usual translation of bakemono is "ghost," thus: "Ghostory."
The curious dual nature of the word ookami has always intrigued me.
I just find it incredible that someone as obviously intelligent and articulate as he is could so massively misunderstand what makes a good movie.
Intelligent people tend to offhandly dismiss the observations of fools. The articulate often develop a tendency to dismiss the observations of those who are, simple of speech, poor when it comes to expressing through words, and unconvincing.
But every dog has his day; even fools are sometimes perceptive and wise, and the poorly spoken may speak deepest truth, albeit in an un-eloquent way.
I’m willing to bet that no Seattlite has a”Red Room of Pain.” It’s the Northwest. We’re cold and tired and prone to silly dreams. We have “Dingy Basements Where We Grow Pot” and “Garages Where One Day We’re Going to Rehearse With Our Band” and, if we’re lucky, “Kitchens That Smell Like Pie.”
We haven't done a good job finding the next Twilight
You know, it is precisely goals like that which lead to the saturation of teen-aimed literature with the worst kind of pandering tripe and the degradation of cinema to nothing but a chain of execrable high-budget "high-concept" cash grabs. I know that being angry at stupid things is generally not worth it, but the whole corporate mechanism that peddles this stuff and the mindset that drives it legitimately infuriates me. It is a blight upon modern media.
My subconscious has woken. She’s staring at me with pursed lips, tapping her foot. So you’ve just slept with him given him your virginity, a man who doesn’t love you. In fact, he has very odd ideas about you, wants to make you some sort of kinky sex slave.

(also what movie is this about and what even is really being said here because I don't follow)
Remember what is one letter away from Armond. Remember who Armond is closely related to.

At least, groovy people do.
but perhaps that's because you're a reptile, I dunno
Dang it, mammal! You interrupted my triplepost!
I guess you need to be milked, though.
But I already told you, my arms are too short to milk you.
people have soapy taste. They made Fifty Shades a success and failed to realize the genius of H. Beam Piper until it was too late for him.
Also, I really like this Film Critic Hulk review that Kexruct posted. More on that tomorrow.
Pipes are such a waste of a good bubble blower toy.
Why do you stupid mammals turn this lemonade into sulphuric acid!
RESURGAM!
it does NOT lie in the proles
Did you assassinate h.b. Piper, too, and make it look like a suicide?
I swear, my one-reptile bookbinding stand will tear your corporate empire down brick by brick.
