Terminator Is Out There

I'm sure it wasn't on purpose. That would be very unlike me.

It's why they'll never find love, @shiels

I believe I can teach Corpsey how to love, the first step is to reply to my DMs. Any one of them.

I admit this scene gets a lot better when you read it as Steve Martin's character never quite getting over his hatred of John Candy and seeing that this was a golden opportunity to rub his amazing life in the man's face.

I really like the idea of a director's cut where Martin looks back over his shoulder while embracing his wife, smirking at John Candy, and Candy's smile crumples as the music becomes dissonant, filled with chattering apes and screams.

He lives in Chengdu now, but he used to live in Xinjiang among the Uighurs. His dad used to run a video shop across the road from Brecon Cathedral.

Barty thought this too before realising Jack doesn't want to be helped. He is happy the way he is.

 

[shiels]

He's dismissive-avoidant and takes a small pleasure in denying my/our advances.

 

[luka]

Yes that's right.

 

[luka]

I've extensively psychoanalysed him with extreme precision and accuracy.

 

[Corpsey]

A CBT counsellor told me my big problem is avoidance. I immediately stopped going to see her.

 

[Corpsey]

That sounds like a joke but it's true.

You're happy the way you are. You've developed a set of techniques that allow you to get attention and you use them. All your needs are met. Pig in clover.

 

[Corpsey]

I'm not happy but I'm comfortable.

This is the whole problem, really.

Every great artist whose biography I cravenly read had some motivating kick up the arse.

Yeah bodybuilders are all deeply damaged

I saw Ghostbusters in the cinema 3 times! My mum took me, then my Dad took me, and then my Mum took me again on my birthday with all my pals from school. I also had a Ghostbusters birthday cake, the audio book and one of those glow-in-the-dark sweatshirts. My allegiance was well known.

Oh my god. Someone else who had a Ghostbusters birthday cake.

 

[luka]

I never got a birthday cake.

the story goes that the balance of power shifted to the directors in the 70s away from the studios doesn't it? finance-wise. dunno why that happened though

I thought that at the end of the 70s it shifted from auteur directors to the studios... I guess it then further shifted to the money men.

The two things aren't contradictory are they?

 

[IdleRich]

But A-Team was very American and violent.

Nobody ever got hit by a butllet though (apart from that one episode where Howling Mad Murdoch was injured and that was the plot).
