I apologize for causing this episode of Thread Drift.

Sheesh, Grav - how the fuck you got all that from what i said I do not know.

It was more or less a semantic point - you said you no longer watch one star because he started telling people what to think about guns. And at the same time still watch and admire another star though he also tells people what to think about guns.

I was just pointing out that your problem with that particular star wasn't that he was telling people what to think about guns, but that he was weighing in with an anti-gun message.

Nowt wrong with that - wasn't a criticism of you or your views, just making a fairly minor point about something you said.

People from other parts of the world tend to look at our country a lot...and I'd say it's warranted, given that we are the dominant country (for now) of the world and export a lot of our culture.

I wasn't making any sort of comment about gun culture though. I wasn't criticising Grav for anything much really. I just spotted what appeared to be a moment of cognitive dissonance in these two posts:

I change the channel as soon as I see him now.

Lately, I think he's Mr. Oh Him, Fuck Him, We Ain't Hiring Him.

He made a 'music video' making fun of Charlton Heston's 'From My Cold, Dead Hands' speech, that's when he lost me.

That's sacrilege, man.

Not saying that Grav likes guns because Heston told him to, or likes Heston because he fights for gun rights, or that Grav's views on gun ownership are wrong, or ....anything of any substance whatsoever.

Fuck me.

Gravdigr · 07-14-2014, 12:17 PM

No, fuck me.

Somebody, please.

No, no you can't. I'll try to get you an updated list of who you can like on a timely basis. You know, so you don't embarrass yourself at the bar or school board meeting.

No Sir, no thanks are necessary.

As a completely unrelated side note, Grav, I have noticed that when you are in a relationship you don't get all mopey about how you are perceived 'here' (as if there could possibly be a unified opinion on you or anything else among the dwellars.) Now that you are single again, there has been a massive uptick in this kind of comment. Nothing has changed here. You are a welcome member who is not singled out for anything over any other person. It is only your perception that has changed.

Gravdigr · 07-15-2014, 01:25 PM

Quit making me stop and think about shit.

Clodfobble · 07-15-2014, 07:50 PM

Sorry.

'Salright.

I watched a documentary called Farmageddon today...it was mainly about how raw milk farmers are getting hammered by the government, though it touched on the problems with Big Ag.

I don't know how I feel about raw milk...something about it doesn't seem right to me. That doesn't mean I'm against it though, especially given that Big Ag doesn't seem to look out for us.

Watched Dallas Buyers Club at the recommendation of lots o' folks and admit to being underwhelmed. It was OK but didn't deserve the unreserved praise it got.

Also watched Nebraska, again supposed to be the very best fucking movie ever made (I paraphrase) and if by "best" they mean overly long, boring, and ugly to look at, then yes, it was the best movie ever made.

Also watched Midnight in Paris and was reluctant after the previous two since I really have gotten to dislike Woody Allen's movies. This one was actually enjoyable, if predictable, and had only a couple of shticky moments.

I am going to look for some other movies at the library.

You should write a blog. Title it "Grumpy Movie Watching Guy."

I'm trying to remember the last movie you recommended. Something about some superhero or otherbeing and the struggles encountered within that whatever realm that we are too naive to understand, because of the superstuff?

Just messing with you. I thought Nebraska was hilarious, and I loved the cinematography. I thought Jared Leto was brilliant in Dallas Buyers Club. So sue me.

infinite monkey · 10-16-2014, 10:30 PM

True Detective, with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.

I'm only halfway through and I am amazed, wondering, mesmerized.

infinite monkey · 10-16-2014, 10:37 PM
