I'm only an ammendment (Simpsons)

Ah! Now I see it

You are responding to this thread….this thread is created by me.  You IL in fact were the first person to post in this thread so how can you be claiming to be responding to Garg when you were the very first poster complaining that this thread was political?  This is MY thread, MY topic.  Screw off and leave me and my thread alone.  Do me a favour IL, if you see a thread created by me, just don’t post in it or stay on topic if you just can’t resist posting in my forum topic threads because you can’t resist me for some reason.  I have asked the moderators to ask you to do the same thing.  We have a negative history and we should just avoid each other.

Please stop complaining. When you own the site you can make up the rules. I don’t give a rats if it is a thread made by you or not. If the thread is political i will say so and i will comment as i see fit.

I never did anything except point out it this thread is political, and that is my opinion.

You tend to blow up my words however innocuous and make them into something more. This is not a good idea. I know it may be difficult for you, but a thread created by you is only that: a thread created by you. If you wanted to make it private, you might consider emailing to friends. In a public forum, anybody can post.

I wish you would drop it. It would never have gone past a first post without you constantly posting this gibberish.

I was hoping someone would open a thread about this.  Here’s a piece I wrote while exchanging e-mails with a friend on Lost in Translation.  Hope it doesn’t give anything away.

Hmm…I am wondering if my comments right now are influenced by seeing Munich over the weekend.  I felt Spielberg was reaching for a particular audience, specifically the hard conservative Israelis.  While the movie isn’t sympathetic to the Palestinians, it’s not unsympathetic to them either.  But really, it creates very thin Palestinian characters without really exploring what it is they are doing.  I believe Spielberg chose this route because he wanted to appeal to those conservatives, who really don’t give a damn what the Palestinians feel or want or need.  Rather, the movie showed everything a right-wing Israeli would see:  murders, terror, etc.  It also expressed the rage, anger, and frustration of the conservatives as well.  But then it showed what the logical extension of all those feelings, what those ideas would lead to, and not on a social level, but a deeply personal one, especially how loving Israel can make you less Jewish.

As such, I don’t think this is an Israel-Palestine movie.  It’s something that has been done rarely:  an Israel-Israel movie.  It’s an attempt in my mind to bridge the gap between the deep divisions in Israeli society.  Or maybe not bridge, but convince the other side.  Hence, its appeal and its focus are tightly played on the self-destructive nature of revenge, typical in some ways of many revenge movies recently (with the notable exception of Quentin Tarrantino), but also elevating that sensibility and relating it to a concrete social dilemma.

LMAO one just happened a few mins ago that got me laughin :lol:

Be nice to Sir Horten! The Komet is a fine looking plane, and I am sure anyone would love to fly one…

Everyone would want to fly a Komet!!??? Yeah, right. Only if they’re planning on committing suicide. :wink:

@TM:

You are just mad that you couldn’t think of something better first.

Yes, why don’t I buy bmbs every turn? I’m sure that’s real inventive. What genius plot do you have in store next, why don’t I build battleships every turn? Oh wait, you already tried that! :P
