I reload bullets and send them to movie sets so they save money on movie amunition. But it wasnt my idea to give it to Baldwin. thats some funny shit right there .... A8/V9 if your even wondering... |
Entertainment, regardless in what fashion, is a waste of time. Enjoyable, but a waste. Think of how much greater the waste when the movie is mediocre at best. Think of how many hours, days, perhaps weeks in total you already have wasted in your life. Now how's that for a legacy? Something to be proud of? Or is it too much of an embarrassment to be honest to yourself? |
Read them more carefully, Guest-1096, and you'll see a productivity other than what you were thinking of. Neither Shelley or Somerset Maugham were speaking of binge watching B-rate crap. |
nice to see some parts of the world still have access to hard drugs. probably canada. |
Not 100% true in my opinion since it could be a learning experience that has a profound effect on your life. |
Wow! ReadThis Well expressed and so true! To the comments about waste of time.... you don't have to watch the whole movie or episode etc., if you are not enjoying it. I like watching movies and different series, they give me things to enjoy, contemplate and some, not all, don't get past the 15 - 20 minute mark because I can tell they are not going to get better the longer I watch them. Everyone has their own interests and likes and dislikes... it's not like we are going to the movies and wasting money we dont have.... if the cinemas are even open with all the different rules these days. We are given the chance to enjoy whatever we select Thanks to all the people involved in taking the time to source, upload and seed them for us to enjoy if we want or see something that we might like..... for free! FREE so turn off if it doesnt appeal to you and watch something else. We all need to enjoy every moment in life that we are lucky enough to have. |
@ Guest-3785 Maybe so, but both Shelley and Somerset did have a thing or two to say about Netflix |
To those who are dismissing any and all activities of human pleasure as completely non-productive and therefore a waste of time and value, I give two examples of how this was dealt with the masters of thought quite early in the history of our civilization. Read the poem: Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.” Next, if that is possible for the human species today, read the short story 'The Lotus Eater' by W. Somerset Maugham. That'll be enough to change your opinion regarding the hyped up value injected into Human action translating into a building brick for the society. It has been the predominant thought process through the Industrial Revolution, the birth of Socialism and Communism and strangely also of Talibanisation. At the end, nothing really remains but a colossal wreck among sands that stretch far away. And you who have been so proud to have build a massive empire would acheive what everyone achieves, a death like Alexander the Great, among unknown tribes in a foreign land surrounded by faces of people waiting for your last breath. Its a tragic truth that in our hearts we know of the sheer absurdity of life and the only certainty of Death, but that is the beauty of spirit of us humans that we constantly push back the well known knowledge and instead seek to derive a meaning of our momentary existence through action and a make-believe of being constructors. "My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sl |
It's also free yo think about what you do and why you do it, Guest-4090. Many, all too many need to do that once in a while. |
@ Guest-1024 Unless it is a vocation/labour of love like Bruce Willis |
I can think of more then 10 that were learning experiences for me, but the only one that should matter to everyone is: 1. Idiocracy 2. Idiocracy 3. Idiocracy 4. Idiocracy 5. Idiocracy 6. Idiocracy 7. Idiocracy 8. Idiocracy 9. Idiocracy 10. Idiocracy |
Every movie is a waste of time. It is, after all, an hour and a half or more in which you will have produced and achieved absolutely nothing, gone, forever. |
