Not really, why do you ask?
Why is it that when ever someone expresses a level of disillusionment with how others behave and act toward you, our assumption is to label that person as bitter.
Excuse me????
Bitter is not seeing your own faults in your failures and giving up. Being stepped on, used, lied to and taken advantage of and other things is not being bitter. It may be whinny if it goes on continually. However, bitter it is not.
I’m confused, exhausted, baffle, bamboozled, done in, sold down the river, lost my faith in humanity at times.
I know I’m not perfect and I make mistakes. I admit to them albeit sometimes reluctantly but I will say I’m wrong and mean it when I am wrong and not call the person a bad names when I am wrong.
So with that let me emote my emotions and express myself.
In other news
I saw a movie in the first week it is out - The watchmen.
I did not read the graphic novel and I may not or I may I have not decided if I’ll jump on that band wagon or not. So not being familiar with the source material I can’t say if the movie was true to the source or not.
I did do some reading about who was who before hand.
So some characters I think were true to the source and others were not. I think the movie portrayed a look at our lack of culture and misplaced ideology and worship of immediacy rather than prosperity.
I did like the movie as a whole. I think Jackie Earle Haley is deserving of high laurels for his portrayal of Rorschach. He was believable in every regard to the character’s essence of an unyielding steadfastness to his beliefs even to his own destruction. Better to be dead than to compromise your beliefs. Which I think is something we don’t see often any longer so many of us, including me have a flexibility in your morality and beliefs we dare not stand up for them for fear of a backlash.
I give it a 4.5 on the invisible don 0to 5 scale for movies.
Good action, great effects, and there is a message there too.
Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
Ciao,
