Not me.

I think a prerequisite for trusting one&#039;s views of anything: movies, politics, love, life, liberty, song, should depend utterly on one&#039;s opinion of the Star Trek movie. America, the world, I apologize. I&#039;ll try to do better.

I don&#039;t have a problem pointing out what ills there are but, to m,e without giving any sort of alternative or solution, what&#039;s the point? If it&#039;s a tree or my leg... sorry tree.

Everybody wants feedback but nobody wants feedback.

I&#039;m more fearful of the twitter community devolving into a giant messageboard with the attendant attitude maladjustment along with everything else.

I&#039;ve got it on my phone. It&#039;s only 6 minutes long. ;) Wed, 15 Apr 2009 19:41:14 +0000 http://www.toddterwilliger.com/blog/2009/04/13/a-whisper-from-the-dark/#IDComment18800190 http://www.toddterwilliger.com/blog/2009/04/01/a-pitch-with-teeth/#IDComment18111688 Mel Brooks? No, no, no. This film needs a deft touch: Michael Bay or Uwe Bolle.

Probably more a false sense of entitlement. ;) You&#039;re right on all counts. It might have been a thought out, well-considered, measured response on her part- I have no way to tell- so I decided to have a little fun with it. Don&#039;t take it all too seriously, I didn&#039;t! Wed, 1 Apr 2009 20:30:04 +0000 http://www.toddterwilliger.com/blog/2009/03/28/the-death-of-good-manners-in-the-internet-age/#IDComment17980668 http://www.toddterwilliger.com/blog/2009/03/28/the-death-of-good-manners-in-the-internet-age/#IDComment17859894 True. I suppose I was just surprised by it. You are correct though, it was not meaningless that she responded at all. However, I just miss the social pleasantries of the bygone age, fake and and insincere though they might have been. The ritual itself had a sort of power and comfort and I felt it&#039;s absence, like when you sneeze and nobody says anything. You wonder, where did all the manners go? *sneeze* Bless me.

I don&#039;t so much blame Steve Martin- he&#039;s at the bottom of a career that&#039;s been dropping for decades. It&#039;s the cast around him that sadden me: Jean Reno, Kevin Kline, etc. These guys can do better and only lend credibility to an enterprise that has none.

That rat really gets around!

It looks like Bale was even more justified than I thought!

I know you&#039;ve seen worse meltdowns than that!

As for tags, I probably over-tag my posts (can a post be over-tagged?) but what I do is tag anything that I mention by name in any meaningful sense. Does that make any sense at all? Regarding the Naked Cowboy, I wonder if he&amp;#039;s flown south for the winter... Tue, 3 Feb 2009 17:32:30 +0000 http://www.toddterwilliger.com/blog/2009/02/02/the-stupor-bowl/#IDComment14728980
