<<I think I experience enough reality every effin' day. Call it escapism, I need an excuse.>> Hmm. Dont you just hate it when people demonstrate their proficency at using the "cut and paste" function? Now i understand a little better why this list seems so negative lately. I mean, sure i understand that if i choose to post my opinions on a particular topic that they're open to criticism. <<You probably didn't like The Matrix either.>> However, i dont really like being told what i probably would or would not like. So you experience enough reality everyday, huh? Well obviously attempting (and succeding) in being a jackass online is your way of coping with it. Do you want to express your own opinions or just walk all over anyone elses attempt to do the same? God forgive me if i dont praise Fight Club has the modern thought provoking classic you do. <<I would be very sad indeed if every movie that graced the low-lit screens of my local maximulticineplex was believable.>> Hmm. Did any post i've ever made say that i wanted every movie to be believeable? As a matter of fact I liked The Matrix, just like i liked Fight Club. <<Are you sure you didn't accidentally walk into "Bats" instead of "Fight Club"? >> Hmm, lets see. Bats are those fuzzy, flying rodents, right? No, i think i had the right theatre. << You couldn't 'sift anything meaningful' out of a film that rages against the societal and cultural demands of consumerism today?>> Hmm. Well, rage against the societal and cultural demands of consumerism, isnt really relavent to my life, personally. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a consumer. <<You found no message about this generation's need for materialism and instant gratification?>> Hmm. Good point. I hadnt really thought about it from that perspective. Too bad you had to be such a cock in making your point. << All you saw was 'people getting their asses kicked?' Wow. Unreal.>> Hmm. I think anyone that saw the movie would be hard pressed to say that they didnt see people getting the shit beat out of them constantly. Not that youwouldnt expect it anyways. The title was Fight Club, right? I guess maybe that in itself says something about society and violence but what else is new. Of course im able to comprehend that there is more to a film than the visual and i never meant to imply that this movie was only that. I liked how the triviality of modern life's trappings and the hopelessness of the dead end white collar job was touched on. My point, which seems to have been totally missed, was that nothing in the movie has any relation to my day to day life. I dont rage about mindless followers, form militant groups with one of my multiple personalities, explode buildings, punch myself in parking lots, etc... Yes, pHil, i enjoyed the story line and the film, overall. I enjoy films of all kinds but enjoy best those which i draw a personal relevance to. Is that so hard to understand? But anyways... Got the Red Stars Theory. Thumbs up. Also i got a Guided by Voices album the other day....under the bushes under the stars. This album is pretty damn good. Ive never listened to them before and im wondering if this is representative of most of their stuff? I've heard people say that the latest one wasnt so great and that the only orginal member left is Robert Pollard. Whats the consensus? Baby, I'm amazed. And last but certainly not least, I would like to complain about the number of complaints that are addressing the posts that are posting e-mails about the posts with messages about posts that don't mention Modest Mouse. That's just wrong. So there you go. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
