So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Who can disagree. | Angry Wednesday. 11.1.06 11:18 pm I saw The Departed. A good movie. I really liked Leonardo DiCaprio's character. Went with my two friends, who laughed long and hard at all of the totally sexist jokes in the movie, which brought upon a very dark mood and made me think about the feminist movement, and how even though I wouldn't characterize myself as a feminist, I benefit every day from the things they collectively accomplished for womankind. If they hadn't accomplished all of that, I wouldn't be able to follow my current career path in the sciences. I probably wouldn't even be in graduate school. I would be in jail, because I would have kicked somebody's ass in a serious way by now, because if it's one thing I can't stand, it's sexist bullshit. But really, that movie just makes you want to swear and beat people up. I offered in a very insincere way to give my friend a ride home and he declined, and I was in too dark a mood to be as glad as I should have been. On a slightly related tangent, you can't really like a guy who likes Boondock Saints, because that is a shitty movie. Girls who say they like it are lying so that guys will think they are "one of the crowd". I'm serious. Come on. Give me a break. There isn't a single character in that movie that you can like. And by like, I mean respect. And it is violent to the point where you aren't horrified or disgusted, you're just bored, like, "come on, would you at least try to kill the guy in a more interesting way, like in one of the coolest movies of all time, The Rock?" Just like Kill Bill, man, was that movie so boring. It's like watching someone else play a video game and just about as realistic. This movie was good, but that's because Leonardo Dicaprio was in it and his acting was awesome. And his character was someone I could respect. I can feel this turning into another rant on the Princess Diaries II, which was the worst movie ever, possibly worse than Boondock Saints and Kill Bill but it's really close. I'd better get to bed, I'll feel a lot exactly the same after a good night's rest. 3 Comments. Haven't seen either of those movies... Leonardo DiCaprio is a good actor though. » randomjunk on 2006-11-01 11:45:21 Thank You! While I've never seen Boondock Saints, I thought I was the only who didn't like Kill Bill. I got about halfway through and decided I had better things to do with my life (mention that to most people and they're like to stab you in the eyes with whatevers pointy and close at hand). On the other hand, I also saw The Departed and couldn't help but really enjoy myself. Leonardo Dicaprio's character WAS someone that you couldn't help but admire. As for the sexist bits, I probably noticed them while they were occuring but after those last few minuets of film - I more than likely just forgot they even existed. However, I couldn't help but laugh at various parts of the movie as well. I think the friend that I went with and the other patrons of the theater thought I was some sort of psychotic but whatever. » Helena on 2006-11-02 08:04:23 And in similar words as Helena; Thank God that someone else disliked Boondock Saints as much as me! Which is rather difficult for me to admit to my friends. It sounded all nice and vigilante, but throughout the whole movie I kept wondering what made them more justified than anyone else. Never really believed that two wrongs make a right. » elessar257 on 2006-11-02 03:49:28
