Smart at 15? For some reason that does not surprise me in the least. I guess, since he is that intelligent it does deserve merit, but i never would have guessed at it myself.

To me, it is a mundane word because of personal experiences that have blackened and soiled the 'excellent word' for me.
You know that is oddly cruel? Better stop now, before i like you. But as i said, you had your reasons.

'Bully' is made by Larry Clark, who is like Harmony Korine in his revelry of causing offence and of dropping tits into the equation wherever possible, and it's an interesting look at a real story of a group of friends that murder this asshole that bullies them all. Neither of these films will blow you away, and you won't write home about them or insist that your friends watch them, and to be honest, I'm not going to recommend that you do watch those films, but you won't feel like you just shat hours of your life away like you would with such awful fucking movies as 'Gothika', 'the Uninvited', 'Candyman', 'Silent Hill', 'the Cell' and other depressing attempts at scary films.

In my defense i have just recently seen Hotel for Dogs at thanks giving. Would you rather i proudly state i got dragged to see it with my 2 cousins, and my stepfather? Or how about some other horrible movie like that. To me thoes were the best i could think of. Which i agree they are not scary but a hell of a lot better than some of the things i have seen as of late. As for a matter of fact, i did feel let down after each one. The only one i can argue with is Candyman. It was a half heated attempt but still gave a laugh for it scared my brother half out of his mind. I got the bathroom that we share to myself for a couple of weeks while he used the one upstairs. So that one holds personal merit for me.

I have found that the people who i thought were flawless actually were marred and there for did damage. So lets say they damaged an already damaged thing. That makes the damaged thing almost worthless, so there it sits on the self being bested by the god forsaken look- a- likes and never bought. So, maybe if i trusted you and thought you were always right. One day you would tell me to jump off a bridge and i could fly, i would do it and then maybe, just maybe id live but not without scars to show that trusting you is a bad idea. So, i will hold my trust issue aside and decide later if i think you are always right. Its possible.

*shrugs* If it hadn't crossed your mind, than i salute you.
Im level headed??? Wow, i never seen that one coming. Meet some of the people i know they would disagree with you whole heartedly. Calling me, boring, dull, no fun, and *this one makes me smile* negative.
[quote=JCC;549132]Those films ARE shitty, why waste time going into it? I fear that this is probably a lost cause anyway, since you've seen 'Gothika' and 'the Uninvited' and didn't join me in an enthusiastic recapitulation of their worthlessness.[quote]
Again, Would you rather me proudly state i watched hotel for dogs? They are much better than that movie, if i say so my self. No matter how worthless ANYTHING is better than that and barny along with the WIGGLES. And other shows of that effect. If you would like we can discuss about how they MUST be taking that 1) act so happy and 2) Go wild for entertain children. They have to be taking something or another.
Hotel for Dogs was probably more torturing than any cheesy scary movie you could throw at me. Do people get a kick out of cheesy films like that? Its pain ful to watch.
My take on HFD: I mean a dog, that last of your old life. You fight for it. So predictable. *tears up* oh my the doggie is gone. Where is he. Oh no at the pound how oh how will we get him out??? lets pay the man off. -scene change- DONT LEAVE ME *they hug and refuse to let go till they are almost pulled apart. Id take gothica over
that anyday. Wouldn't you? Unless you like that kind of thing then all respects, you may come over and browse through my mothers collection.Its extensive i warn you.

To me time is slow. Id rather be at mid pace, but that, i guess, is summer break.
