: People who don't walk on the moving walkways suck. They're not there to be a source of amusement, they're there to get you there faster. Nothing is more annoying than getting caught behind a bunch of lazy-asses who decide that they're just along for the ride. My gripe isn't really with Bartleby and Loki, just with those people in general. The thought just struck me while thinking about the flick. And if you are one of those people, you're an asshole too. If not, thanks for reading, and knock those fucking people out of the way next time you see them.
Right: fat, lazy or tired folks...
To tell the truth, I like standing on the moving things too when there are people behind me... just to annoy the shit out of them
But I didn't have a problem with Bartleby and Loki just standing there because after all there was nobody behind them. I'm sure if there were lots of people coming up behind them they would have moved to the side and let the people pass.
by the way, didn't Jackie Brown just stand and go along for the ride? I'm not trying to make a point with that - just trying to remember if she walked or stood.
