Baby Jesus help me...

I do believe I'm turning into "Chloe" from "24" during the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time)

I was talking with coworkers today about movies ("Snakes on a Plane" in particular) and they were going on and on about how film wasn't an artform and it's quality is purely subjective and how I just like to go "against the grain" and how could so many people be wrong since "Titanic" was such a hit...it went on and on and on...I felt like a trapped animal about to chew off it's own leg...

...and then the "Chloe" came out...

and I said, "Movies like that are for people with average intelligence" and then one of the managers came in and I thanked her for getting them out of my office (!)

I couldn't help myself...what's happening to me?!

Bitch

the old high-brow/low-brow issue.

my friend called me low-brow for enjoying Australian Idol, when she likes a more obscure music trivia quiz show called spicks and specks

Yea, but you don't read books. lol

thats's funny sorry hun but it is..at least to me.


They are entitled to their own opinion, you to yours. Some films aren't art at all. Some are.

What artform isn't purely subjective? [/quote]



agreed

missmad said:

the "movie" industry is all about money, not art

charlottegelin said:

spicks and specks? never heard of it looking it up now thanks hun.

charlottegelin said:

Yep, the "movie" industry like the "music biz"

missmad said:

sadly you are right. My husband is waiting in the Australian Idol queue today, hoping to get on tv to promote his band cause otherwise how do you even get noticed!

missmad said:

Oh, I totally agree with you...I was being a complete ass and I don't know why

I LOVE CHLOE.

Being more like her can only be awesome.

I agree! Hats off to you! Sometimes I spew off at work in response to things that people are talking about in the break room that I don't agree with- then I'm the outcast. They all think I'm strange- but most of them do not live in urban MPLS and are older than myself. I've come to terms with this reality, but it still makes you feel somewhat isolated

You are much prettier and I am sure you do not make those ridiculous faces..
But saying it like it is can be good sometimes- I need to start doing that myself!!

She is my role model for workplace etiquette. I want her to author a book, seriously. Or at least write captions for motivational posters I can hang at my desk.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

big fat co-sign. i'm not hooked on the show, but i do catch it with my roomies every so often. she's the only one i care about.

AK -- Keep It Up!

Anx said:

That would be fuckin' AWESOME.

Maybe she already does.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

I just want a picture of her with the words "FINE, LEAVE ME ALONE!" printed underneath.

Anx said:

Her scowl makes me melty.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

She must have been her parents' pride and joy as a teenager.

applekisses said:

no no honey, I didnt mean that at all! love M

charlottegelin said:

wow, you try and do it yourself. im working on that at the moment. It is sooooo hard.

applekisses said:

i get like this sometimes. sometimes people act like idiots. i try to be more accepting about it but sometimes they just need to be told.

Anx said:

The thing is that she also gets away with it...THAT's the magic part for me...

(PS: Your sig rules...it instantly took me back to that song )
