What movies are you watching?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Did you read this Trag?

Anders, are you aware of what "Cosby-level" means? That's like the highest level

[Jorge]

There's gotta be higher levels. Hitler level, for example.

There's gotta be higher levels. Hitler level, for example.

First Epstein, then comes Hitler, Weinstein, Cosby, Sizemore, Spacey, Townsend, Danny Masterson, Ryan Adams, Prince Andrew, Joey Ryan, Jesse Lacey, Casey Affleck, Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, approximately in that order.

[Jorge]

Okay but they're not all on the same level! Hitler level is the worst one, then there's probably like Vlad the Impaler level, then maybe one more, and then Cosby level. Weinstein is Cosby level, for example.

There is no such thing as free will. These poor souls were doomed to play out their crimes from the beginning of the universe. Who are we to judge them?

Morgan Freeman level.

However, if you’re alluding to me, my daughter never watches the same movies as me, unless we’re watching Disney cartoons.

The Teacher's Diary

First Thai movie I’ve ever seen. Sweet and funny and well made. Only about halfway through, hopefully the quality will remain throughout, and not fully descend into cliche, which it is not a mile away from.

We are doomed to judge, cherry picker.

break the cycle. Escape the time loop.

Fate is really cruel, if these posts are predetermined.

This Stalin/Pol Pot erasure will not stand.

[Ello Sailor]

I think Anders means that the fallout from Sizemore's wrongdoing was Cosby-level.

Hopefully that's what he means.

[epilogue]

I'm sure his addiction issues were real and serious and relate to his behavior. How could they not? But I also feel like dismissing his abuse or excusing it because of that addiction is letting him off the hook. And shitty. And not fair to his victims. To be clear, I'm not saying anyone here is doing that. I'm just getting out in front of it because I have seen that discussion in other places.

We should hate the crimes, not the perpetrators. People who are that messed up were very unlucky to be given the hand that they were dealt, And you should count your lucky stars that you are relatively normal and good
