The Dark Knight Rises is the most overrated, boring, nonsensical, mind numbingly awful sack of rancid fecal matter that has ever been called a Batman movie.

Well, with regard to what passes for a movie these days, it goes back to Adam West's classic line in the 1966 Batman movie:

I can never understand the love for a film like Heaven's Gate: I have never been able to take it seriously as it cost sh*tloads of money, destroyed a promising director's career and almost destroyed United Artists. And what is it exactly? An overblown, dreary Western.  :tongueout:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I'm guessing it's one of those situations like DUNE or ISHTAR, where it develops a following simply because it's notorious and not so much due to any quality.

The magician longs to see
One chance opts between two worlds
Fire walk with me

I agree. I saw it in 1981 at my home town cinema. I think it ran for 149 minutes and then most people ran out of the cinema  :tongueout:. I said then: "What am I watching?" I bought it on DVD last year, watched it (the 210 minute version) and asked "What am I watching?"  :question:

Death is just a natural progression.We ALL die-its the one definite in an indefinte world.
I refuse to give into peer pressure.  Just because everybody else is dying doesn't mean I have to die too. 

I plan on living forever.

Yeah,I don't think dying is a viable option at this point in history, because the economy and the healthcare syatem are so busted that you'd have to work for the rest of your afterlife to pay for your funeral!   :buggedout:

I don't understand the strive for some people to physically look different.  The the first thing that comes to mind when i see someone with multiple piercing and pink hair is "goodbye employability".  I also find these people make up for lack of personality with these freak like appearances.

I don't get any of the advice they've been giving job seekers over the past fifteen years.

Being in unskilled labor, I wouldn't turn to Ivanka Trump for career advice, especially if she's just going to be parroting the same conformist BS as a thousand snot nosed commie pigs before her.

And what on God's green Earth is wrong with saying "Because I need a job!" ? I mean, that's kinda the whole point, aint it?

My grandfather got his first job driving dump trucks. Foreman asked him what he knew about driving dump trucks, & he shrugged his shoulders & said "Not a dadburn thing." He got the job because he was the only candidate that day who actually told the truth.

Agreed: take Kat Von D for an example, gorgeous lady but why does she feel the need to cover herself in all that crap?  :buggedout: :question:
