so me and my coworker, the one that thinks im chinese even after i kept
telling them im japanese...

for those of you that dont know... clicky clicky

decided to talk about movies....and she said,"i watch so many movies I should try to get back from it since I put in so much".... like critique for money .. or like free movie tickts etc..... so we talked about a couple of movies.... all she did was name mainstream movies ..... and I told her about foreign horror movies (ichi killer) and like b- movies (low budget films or local films) and she had no interest whats so ever.... are you kidding me? You want to critique movies and get paid for it when all you appreciate is made up hollywood super expensive mainstream cr@p? Give me a break... if one of my RTF(radio, television, film.. major in college) friends heard you talking they would come and slap you with there boom stick.... Even my RTF friends (true movie fanatics) appreciate low budget films... and anything foreign... even if they didnt like it, they atleast had logical points why they didnt like it.... and this person here *sigh*.... this is why I think we get people like siskel and ebert (however you spell it) critiquing movies that I really liked, with 1 stars.... I asked her do you know about imdb? she was like.. whats that?...=\.... I asked her what was her favorite movie... or any movie that made her go WOW!.... she said, passion of the christ and lord of the ring......

Use algebraic manipulation to show that each of the following functions has a fixed point at p precisely when f(p)=0, where f(x)=x^4+2x^2-x-3.

a. g1(x)=(3+x-2x^2)^1/4

meh, to each their own.

Just because she only likes mainstream movies, doesn't make her opinion less valid...

Untill she started ragging on the type of movies I liked and wanted to be a paid movie critique for a person that has watched maybe a handful of movies...

It was a good movie, but not my cup of tea... still entertaining though... but didn't make me go WOW.

Noted. Will put rant in title.

Pointless and whiny? What do you expect from a rant? I guess I could add in some numerical analysis stuff I did in college to further increase everybody's knowledge of numerical analysis... but I think a pointless/whiny rant would do nicely... =D

edit: you know what... LETS ADD IN SOME NUMERICAL ANALYSIS.. that would be awesome! so this thread will not only be pointless and whiny... but also educational at the same time!

I see your point OP. I'm a film major, and as discrediting as it sounds, am not the typical "hey i like watching movies so i'll take an easy major in college."

I also roll my eyes at people that like to think they know everything about movies when they only rent their films from Blockbuster's new release wall or go to the mall to see their films, let alone ever read any critical analysis of a film. Many of today's films are rekindling old successes (as if you didn't know) and bring very little original material. It's sad that I see a lot of fellow students trying to make short films when most of them are ripoffs of something mainstream and it's no wonder most people are laughed at when they call themselves filmmakers.

I watched "I Am Cuba" the other day and it was one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen, from a technical aspect, not to mention it's pure anti-American propaganda something we don't see a lot of.
Also try to see "Turtles Can Fly" recently released on DVD, as it's a Kurd-made film about the current war in Iraq. It's very touching and humanizes the many civilian victims of the war.
