netrunner

wow..
no..really.
i am actually at my desk in ..i dont even know what to call it.
ya know netrunner.
i dont know you but i have never had a problem with you OR your posts.
go check and see who voted for them..i'll wait.
but since you called ME to the table..
allow me to retort.
you sir are one presumptuous piece of work.
do you know WHY i didnt use your name in my post?
because it was never directed at you nor intended to be a passive agressive swipe at you.
if i had a problem with YOU specifically..YOU would know about it and can you guess why?
because i am open,direct and most of all honest.
how dare you sir!
how dare you presume to know anything about me based on what?
what exactly do your base your premise on?
my profile?
my comments?
some magical crystal ball?
you dont fucking know me and to TELL ME my intentions and that i dont have the BALLS to confront you up close and personal?
boy..let me tell you somethin.you better check your pussy shit at the door.
i dont play that game.you wanna call me out?
fine.
but you better know what the fuck you are talking about before you do.
and by your comment above you dont know the first thing about me.
and to think i defended your presumptuous ass when talking with the chogster.
well dont i look like a douchebag now.
you just made his case.
choggie my hero?
what the fuck kind of surrealistic dali nonsense is that?
do you think i admired choggies tactics?
i told him all the time that was no way to get people to see a different view.
but..that was his choice and he paid the consequences.
choggie challenged popular and rigid thinking.
he did so by poking and prodding and yes..trolling.
he was colorful and vibrant,original and entertaining.
he made sense some of the time and babbled conspiratorial nonsense the rest..and even that was entertaining.
i was not privy nor did i FUCKING CARE about the two of you and your homoerotic little drama.
choggie pissed off a lot of people.
i may have understood his reasoning why,even agreed with it but i never agreed with his oftimes vitriolic verbosity.
and fuck you for assuming i did netrunner.
pffft..choggie my hero.are you fucking serious?
your post alone is my poster child for the very point i was making.
choggie challenged groupthink.
his tactics sucked balls but his heart was in the right place.
do you see it yet netrunner?
are ya starting to understand just a wee bit?
YOU..sir.thought you were RIGHT.
and convinced of your own intellectual superiority you stepped forward to make a claim.
a claim based on????
nothing.
and now you find yourself reading this and i hope..dear god i hope..you are starting to feel something.
lets call this new feeling "WRONG".
you dont know everything.
your intellect is not the end all-be all.
and sometimes people just step in it..knee-deep in it.
sometimes we are WRONG even though we were so cock sure we were RIGHT.
THIS is the fundamental reason i liked choggie.
he forced people to defend a position that they were so cock sure was RIGHT.
to defend a position we have to think it through and sometimes..not every time..we find the flaw in our own presumption.
and that is how choggie referred to you specifically.
a passive agressive know-it-all presumptuous prick.
now netrunner.
hear me well.
i am mighty pissed off right now.i dont take kindly to people calling me a pussy(you did it nicely.same deal though) but i will get over myself.
your deal is with choggie..not me.
but by your comment you have made a case for what choggie claimed you to be.
prove him wrong netrunner.
because i dont really think that is who you are.i think you assumed too much and too fast and you jumped without thinking.
prove him wrong.

Did anyone else see distortion on Maddow's face at the beginning of the video?

I blame the handling of Waco, and Ruby Ridge for the extent of Gun-show stupidity.

Was he a true sociopath? Through training and upbringing? Possible. Was he a fool? Most certainly. Absorbed in his own reality, his purposeful hermetical existence perpetuated his reality with supportive tribal influence of extreme surrealistic stupidity.

Excellent piece, I would up-vote a bunch of times, alas a promote will have to suffice.

How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?........................Fish!

Salvador Dali was a piece of shit collaborator with the Nazis. He betrayed several of his surrealist artist "friends", at least one of whom was killed.

BlueGW, I think you're overlooking the fact that the same mind with the same views and mindset created this film. It's surrealist film, and if you actually study the paintings, you'll recognize a lot of imagery, symbolism, and ideas... the ants, for example, appear in a lot of his work, including two of the most famous paintings, Persistence of Memory and Metamorphosis of Narcissus. These paintings were initially received with the same knee-jerk reaction you're giving here. Further, if you look at Persistence of Memory, you'll find that central to the piece is a "psycho mutilation" of a face.

I saw this on DVD for the first time a few days ago (right after watching Mulholland Drive - yikes) and I'll admit it blew my mind (which, admittedly, was blown already by the previous film.) That said, even in our overwhelmed state, two of my friends quickly commented "my dreams are like this. well, not with the dead horse pianos, but with the completely random nonsensical happenings that seem to make perfect sense."

As for the ants, I think they typically symbolize decay. And the eyeball, I believe they used a cow eye for that shot. I cringe remembering it.

Next up: L'Age D'Or

also, Kafka was a surrealist. So his writing has an element of unreality within it that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Its like he tells a tale using the language of dreams. It just makes it more intruiging trying to figure out which parts are important and which parts are just lagniappe

Thank you, moondonia. That was great! I can understand that it freaked you out, but it's a great piece of imagery, don't you think? I can see it now. Would make a great surrealist painting. (goes and sets up paint and canvas)

Thanks for the info.

"The Holy Mountain" was a surrealist film from the 70's that was partly funded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono and single handedly started the midnight movie phenomenon in the United States. The trailer really isn't the best representation of the movie, but a lot of the unbelievable imagery in it still carries over.
