There is nothing that amuses me more than being called "pathetic" or told that I have too much time on my hands by people who are CONSTANTLY on this board reading every damn thing that gets posted and deciding whether or not to make a rude comment to *this* person or *that* person about their personal lives, their lack of intelligence, their inferior choice of subject matter, ANYTHING but whatever the person was actually talking about.
I ask you, what is more indicative of the lack of a off-screen life -- some real and thought-out information regarding the content of a movie which is actually an on-topic subject on this board, or mindless put-downs of the author of such information? Have YOU nothing better to do?
When I have time to waste, I do it through (among many other methods) thinking and writing about shit that interests me, not searching the 'net to find someone I can anonymously insult so I can feel like a biiiig man. I feel only pity for those who refuse to enjoy anything but putting others down. It's a sad habit, and it ultimately hurts the person who's the source of all the negative energy more than it does the recipients.
To be called pathetic by you is a compliment; I'm glowing like a pregnant woman fresh from a Vaseline bath. You flatter me too much. Lest you think all this is directed solely at you, Mr. K, this one goes out with all my love to b. buster and all the other whiny joes who spend twenty frickin' hours a day here reading and picking but never have an original thought of their own. As my grandmother was fond of saying to her dog, you can all go hump your neighbor's leg.
Get a new hobby. This more-cynical-than-thou shtick is really becoming tiresome, and its been done to death so many times it may as well have its own HBO special. Or, if you (any of you) refuse to stop, I'd advise you that it would better serve your egotistical purposes to direct it at those sensitive souls who'll take it in the ass and cry, thus giving you sadists the hard-on you so desperately desire. My hide is pure leather; prod all you like, I still feel nothing.
