Much ado about nothing

Dec 15, 2006 14:49

OK, I know I shouldn't be even talking about it, but yesterday I was picking mail and since my wife subscribes to one of those tabloids, such as "People", "Us" and "OK", I skimmed over one as I was walking back to my house. By now everybody probably heard about Britney this and Britney that, and I think it's totally normal for a 25 year old to ( Read more... )

I almost feel sorry for the villain except he/she chose that life. At least the hero usually has a lady love. And can enjoy the spoils of life and appreciate them through the labor it took to destroy said villain. Maybe. I dunno. I do tend to read lots of Fantasy fiction books. And in those books, it's not always so black and white. Anyway.

Hope YOU have a good weekend. You watch that movie?
3 more days of work for me then a 2 week vacation. I think I can handle that. ;)

PS: I always look forward to your entries.

No, I didn't get around seeing it, crazy time - interviews, shopping, etc. Ugh!
I'm waiting for tomorrow - then 5 days of nothingness (and skiing). Yay!

PS. Thank you.

Thank Gawd the Britney fascination will pass in time. Not soon enough for me unfortunately. Inevitably the media will latch on to someone else's life and rip it to shreds in a search for scandalously juicy gossip news. And I use the term 'news' very loosely ( ... )

I think if you look at America as one big entity, such as a human, then events like Britney's mishap would be like a pimple of some sort. Since we're considering America a human and undoubtedly a vain one, a simple pimple would draw some attention, which will, of course, subside after a pimple is gone, treated or somehow dealt with.

Bad guys in movies and in RL are two different things. Nobody in reality is pure evil or pure good. Hitler wasn't pure evil, he actually had love in his life, he cared for I think his niece very much. Being a Jew I should be the one hating his guts because of Holocaust, but it wasn't only him, there were others.
But movie characters are so undeveloped, and flat, so it just looks like they are pure evil, which is I think is bad. Anything pure is probably bad, unless we're talking sterile clean in OR. Even pure cocain is bad - it'll hurt you more than give you high. ;)
