The King's Speech
#1
Quote:Ceremony, and even, silence, from whatever motive they may arise, have a hurtful tendency, when they give the least degree of countenance to base and wicked performances; wherefore, if this maxim be admitted, it naturally follows, that the King’s Speech, as being a piece of finished villainy, deserved, and still deserves, a general execration both by the Congress and the people.

-Thomas Paine (Common Sense, Appendix)

Old bastard apparently doesn't care much for Colin Firth.

It was written back when comma reserves were fresh and plentiful and no one need worry about the future of the comma industry or alternative punctuation.

When in doubt: It was sarcasm.

Man, I saw the trailer for the King's Speech, and I was like FUCK that film. Seriously. Shit hasn't even been released and you know it's gonna get an Oscar. About British royalty AND about overcoming a disability? SHIT.

I mean, I don't want to generalise, but if you paid to see that film then you're a dick. I'm sorry. I don't make the rules.

Well because I took the time to google it I then decided to google King Geroge VI and low and behold I learned something. England had a King back in the 30's. =o

Fighting to the bitter end is an advantage when your opponent does not wish to perish.

I'm okay with being a dick, because I saw a great film.

It probably is a good film but you're still a bad person for watching it.

So. Tell me again why you hate the movie?

It completely owned at the Baftas so I at least need to see what all the fuss is about.

Does honesty earn respect or inspire revenge? Is it smarter to attack the strong or annihilate the weak?
