It's all a matter of point-of-view. We get a pro-life message out of it. Liberal movie critic editor Jim Emerson said that the movie has an anti-religion message. I read him sometimes out of curiosity. He is very anti-religion.
I saw King Kong. I think it's one of the best movies to come out this year.
The apartment complex I was at only had one washer and dryer for the building, and I was always frustrated with people that left their clothes in them.
Since I had so much laundry anyway -- because of my sheets and comforter -- it was actually quicker to drive south 25 minutes to do my laundry.
That's where I never had the needed $10.
I followed my cats around for awhile today trying to get some good pictures. Was less than successful.
This one of Tam was *almost* good, except for the demon eyes...
But once he caught on that I was taking pictures, he started hamming it up...to the detriment of getting any kinda quality photo...
Halvah is just impossible to photograph. She's terrified of the flash, and even if I turn it off, if I come around with a camera, she shuts her eyes tight. She'll open them to just a squint if she thinks I'm taking off, but it's been years since I got a picture of her without her eyes closed. Case in point:
Tam also complicates matters in that if I try to photograph Halvah, he sticks his head into every shot. *sigh*
How is everyone tonight?
Haven't seen King Kong yet. The time thing is probably the biggest reason why - hard to commit to three plus hours!
What was his thesis to support that?
Doing great! You?
We only have two washers and dryers for...24 apartments? Never really thought about it before. Luckily people are pretty good about being courteous.
I'd still rather have my own facilities. It was hard going from my own house to this. Could be worse, though! At least I have decent on site facilities.
The movie is actually not that tiring. It's 3 hours plus, but it actually kind of goes by fast once the action picks up.
It's a movie that stays with you for a long time afterwards. The ending is very heartbreaking.
That's true -- I had to drink two cans of energy drink to make it.
Here's his exact quote:
" I thought it was a parable about religion -- how the repressive Powers That Be keep citizens in their place by stringing them along with enticing promises of happiness in the next life, in some invisible afterworld paradise called "The Island," which turns out not to exist, and to actually just be death, instead. "
Thanks -- how sad!
I can't stand that guy. He irritates me. So you'd wonder why I keep going back and reading his blogs.
I could have done without the first hour, personally.
Great,cut firewood all day and now kicking back trying out some Rolling Rock Green Light watching Larry the Cable Guy.
That's good -- I like to read diverse viewpoints; it helps me to understand the other side and solidify my own beliefs.
Sounds relaxing!
Well, I haven't seen it myself, but I've heard that the first hour is intriguing sci-fi, and the last hour is intense action.
Yeah, I do too. If it's a smart person who makes a good argument, and you can counter it, you know you're in the right.
