In Reply to: I hope you can understand all this. posted by Troy on February 10, 2004 at 10:50:41:
You are obviously being irritated by my lack of concern with Belushi as you put it "laughing at me". Well, this is simple. Pigs always laugh at decent people. Pigs like Belushi also tent to die like pigs... and most decent people don't even notice that.Truth is, I go trough my life without any concern for what some low life moron thnks about my pursuit of trying to make something with my life, for my family and people around me.
You on the other hand, seem to be much in tune with his feelings. That is your choice.
The sorry truth is that Belushi the pig only was successful because people like you couldn't get enough of him.
I guess you two found each other.
About the drug/alcohol abuse in actors, etc. You are as clueless as ever. If you show me the Tracy film that turned anyone into an alcoholic, promoted drug use and moronic behavior, I will agree with you.
Your "hero", OTOH, promoted the drugs and pig life... see the diff? Probably not.
***Go back and read your original post about Monster and how "American film is a culture of GARBAGE".
If you want to comment on my posts then at least have the decency of quoting it right... don't be a cheap liar.
For the "quote" above you deserve to be called a liar.
And then you drop this bit of "wisdom":
"America is NOT about people spouting Cyrano references. It has NEVER been about people spouting Cyrano references."
I don't know whether to laugh or cry over your numb-headed line like that.
Perhaps you TRULY believe America is about living like pigs, like Belushi, and decaying alive. Then thank you, but somehow I managed to miss THAT America.
As far as your "recomendation" of what I should and should not be doing in America - you can perfectly stick it in your ear, as this is my county just as much as it is yours. If you want to live here like a pig, there is nothing I can do about it, but there are plenty of good people I care about.
Anyway, you will neither scare nor impress me with your escalating tone, but you can bore me at some point.
Follow Ups:
Your complete lack of any sense of humor or irony is stunning.Why is it OK for you to vilify Belushi in death, but it's not ok for him to poke fun of snobs like you in life? Why the double standard? Because you're better than him? It's obvious you think so, but you, regardless of all your education and worldlyness, are not. The roots of your arrogance are deep and obvious.
WRT the Spencer Tracy reference, I do understand and agree with the difference you point out, however, that doesn't take away from the fact that Tracy and Bogart both died because of their addictions, just as Belushi did.
Personally, I don't care if "Animal House" promoted debauchery (again, like it was the first movie or story to ever do that). If an individual has hany brains in their head, they can tell the difference between sensible behavior or not. No movie is going to make them smarter. If people have the tendency towards that lifestyle, they will do that, if they don't, they won't and no mere MOVIE is going to sway anyone's opinon.
You can say that I misquoted you if you like. If you read your original post, that "quote' I stuck in there certainly fits your tone and attitude. And it's no different than putting the words "Belushi is my hero" in my mouth in your post. You are well aware I never made any claim like that.
"America is NOT about people spouting Cyrano references. It has NEVER been about people spouting Cyrano references."
I don't know whether to laugh or cry over your numb-headed line like that.
Regardless of your emotional conundrum, the fact remains.
You can continue to use your book knowledge as a weapon of repression on those that are intimidated by it. It won't work with me. You're wrong to think that someone that enjoys a comedian like Belushi doesn't know or enjoy the classics too. It's called "perspective" and "balanced tastes". This balance, in all your overwhelming bias, is something which you have none of.
***Why is it OK for you to vilify Belushi in death, but it's not ok for him to poke fun of snobs like you in life? Why the double standard? Because you're better than him? It's obvious you think so, but you, regardless of all your education and worldlyness, are not.Oh boy... let me repeat what I already said once and then leave, unless you find something fresh to say. I told you I have no problem with him poking fun at me - I couldn't care less, as I have no respect for him.
I suggest you read my previous post as this has already been answered, but as I said, apparently you are not willing to accept my complete disregard for him and his "poking fun", you are still trying to convince me I should feel offended, insecure or sad...
Sorry to disappoint you... as I said, I have no reaction like that.
Will you finally get this simple message?
Am I a better person than a pig who created some of the most revolting characters and finally died like a pig? I would certainly HOPE so, but I will leave the final judgement to the creator.
