I am just a very thin layer of charming with some funny sprinkles wrapped around a huge creamy center of raging arrogant a-hole.

Hold on now...
Maybe the movies he is making just aren't for you. Maybe they are for a different demographic.

Look, I don't care for his recent work either and all that means is that they aren't made for "me" anymore.

Fact is, is that he probably doesn't have to work anymore at all and he's ony in it for the lols. If he can invite all his buddies over film some some shenanigins and make a fairly sucessful movie out of it, then that's effing awesome. He wins.

Here's the thing... as @guest_ points out, there are some who would cherry pick verse for their own means, whatever they may be.
Weather it's genuine and heart felt or woefully misguided.

A new thing I learned... and this might be cherry picking too, but the best way to counter someone who could be described as... perhaps over zealously evangelizing, is to say to them:

Mathew 6:5-8.

Cool, thanks.
The funny thing is... as late as this reply might be, it found me while I'm traveling for work in Vermont.

Smell, yes... but hear? Probably not.

After you got bored with the cap gun after 5 minutes, your ears are probably still ringing after you smacked with the whole roll with a hammer.

Agreed... especially if you are a parent. God forbid you have a daughter, this movie will destroy you.

This film can not be praised enough.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference... in the world.
So wake up, Mister Freeman... wake up and smell the ashes.

In astronomy, it's not an approximation.
It's called an error bar.

And honestly, if the math from the mathamaticians and sensory equipment from the engineers were better, the astronomers wouldn't need those error bars. :p

But hey, it is getting better.

The point here is that, at the core, it is indicitive of the failings of education in the US...
Way before any supposed ethnocentric based racisim comes into play.

If the school you went to was even okish, you'd have been taught that the current base 10 numbering system is arabic in origin.

First of all, who tf is Richard? That's Bill Gates.

Second, he is. Says so in the subtitle.

Third, so far, as of August 2017, he's given away half of that, $50 Billion

You raise a fair point, but maybe Daddy-O is a single dad and you know... might be looking for a better half?

Just sayin'.

She was greedy, selfish and self centered... and she paid the price for it.

Which makes the iTunes shut down situation really interesting to see how it's going to shake out.

It's already happened with the Kindle, where the license to distribute a title expired and everyone that had "purchased" a "copy" found that it had been removed from.their devices without their knowlage.
If I'm not mistaken, this incident was one of the first instances that brought "ownership" or media into the spotlight.

Only briefly though, because the vast majority of consumers are credulous, foolish and fickle idiots with the memory of a fucking goldfish that will be surprised the next time it happens.

Good concept, but it's not ready for prime time. The state of the infrastructure required makes this iffy at best.

Just remember, off comments defending always on technology at the last next gen iteration got people fired.
