My blog about talking about the world as it is. No mincing of words.

The only movie I've ever walked out on was The Last Air Bender.

What about you? What movies have you walked out on, why?

In hindsight, not sure why I walked out, given I *like* the actor, but I walked out on Good Morning Vietnam, making it not even thirty minutes into it.

there was a bad movie called twilight i walked out on about halfway through.

 

ive been a proud hater since and make fun of every man who has to retort to twilight to get sex.

 

i mean, it's more fun to find a female who also hates twilight and not have to embarrass yourself.

I walked out on the same movie . .twice.  What Lies Beneath.

Went with a female friend of mine, she freaked out about a third of the way through, and I told her we could leave if she wanted.  A few days later I took another female friend, thinking "this one is made of sterner stuff."  Got about halfway through.  Luckily it was at a dollar theater so I could catch the end without too much pain.

For sheer badness I probably would have walked out of Deathproof/ Planet Zombie (or whatever it was called) by Tarintino if I had seen that in the theater.  I watched so much MST3k as a kid that I'm pretty immune to bad movies, though those around me might end up annoyed at my innapropriate snorts of laughter as I imagine Crow heckling particularly bad scenes of whatever I see.

My friends wife works in medical billing and coding and she was unable to watch Sicko, or any part of the debate about insurance scamming in the medical industry because it made her feel guilt.

 

I could never call my friend a punk for letting her not watch it (and he even went to 'console' her), let alone tell her that she should feel bad.

 

Sure i understand, she is "no more guilty" than the clerk at BP is for the oil spill, but transference indicates responsibility. If i buy drugs, the law will say that i am supporting a gang. If i sell drugs and use the profit to buy a car, which gets stolen, the court will tell me it is my loss- i have no right to the car, which came from illegitimate income.

 

Thus, through transference, she does participate in denying claims to medical patients for the profit of her company just as paper-pushers in Nazi Germany were sending people to death camps; the "just doing my job" line did not cut it at Nuremberg and it doesn't sell here either. Instead, i just disassociated myself from them because i could no longer stand her "fluffiness", this is a woman who has a sister with a husband named John who served in Afghanistan so she used to go dope up on emotions with that movie.

 

She just dopes up on fluffiness and overemotional reactions. For instance, she "just couldn't hear anything about climate change" because of "Poor Al Gores wife" and "Just can't be bothered to talk about taxation because her dad is a republican". You know those types who make ridiculous reasons to refuse to challenge their own thinking, by playing the "i was traumatized so i can't talk about it" with every freaking issue. And my friend used to be totally intelligent until she poisoned his mind and now he doesn't talk about issues that matter, or even pretend to care about ethos and logos. He just allowed his mind to become hers because it was "less painful than thinking about it" so he just numbs himself and keeps working at a bank where he scams customers who lack the financial knowledge he has.

I tried to talk to him about "moral agency" and the idea of the moral agent/moral patient, and the responsibility of the banks, and insurance companies as agents is to act in benefit of the patient, not to screw the patient. I even told him that there is plenty of honest money in banking as long as he doesn't "work against people" - to which he smiled and said "I know how to tell the difference of working for someone or working against them, and i love it; it's like playing a game and totally pwning your opponent with a technique they think is cheating because of a lack of meta game knowledge."

 

He described how fun it is to look at someone in the eyes and know within 2 years, even if they make every payment on time, they will go bankrupt. His only concern is making sure the person has something to seize.
