Haven't bothered, guess I should...
Yes you should, since you are an avid movie fan. There are probably a lot of color related cues you are missing out on that the directors of movies intended for the audience to see and process.

I'll never be good at that kind of thing. I tend to stay away from the whole realm of painting. I had ambitions to be a pro photographer but specialized in B&W. Anyway, I figure subtle use of color in movies is a relatively minor element on the auteur's pallet what with drama, music, language at their disposal.

In my case I'd be giving it anonymously to charities/veterans homes in amounts < $10K all over the country.
Very tempting to keep for myself, but might as well get rid of the evidence. :D :p

Buy a house and hope it's not next to a sex offender.
Where the heck did that come from? Something on your mind?
I just stated what everybody learns in kindergartten that ist's not moral to keep for yourself what belongs to somebody else. Apparently you called 'pontification' because being reminded of this fact cause your self image to take a hit. That's not my fault. You are the one who expressed an interest in walking the low road. I didn't create the standard you failed to support. You just got offended because somebody turned a light on when you had your hand in the cookie jar.
You "just stated" what nobody else in the thread needed nor wanted to see, is what you fail to acknowledge. We don't need you here reminding us of ethics lessons for toddlers. We don't need your psychology bull telling people how they were so insulted as children.

Nobody in the thread cares about your morals. Most or all of us have the same or similar morals, but THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF THE HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION, IS IT?? My remark about your pontification wasn't limited to only your commentary in here, and that much should have been obvious by my comment. It isn't like you don't have extensive history of it.

Typical deflection back at me too, no surprise there. You DID create this standard that YOU keep trying to apply to everyone else, while painting them with a very broad and generic stroke. If I failed the standard, it is because the 'standard' is only in YOUR mind.

Always making it about others' insecurity if/when they question you. Keep projecting, clownie. :rolleyes:

Your words: ‘That **** is mine, yo...I'll risk it. Grabbing it for sure, lol.”

Where’s the projection. Were it you who had lost the million and learned that had spent it on myself, let me project what your response to my LOL would be. I’m of course sure you would just be tickled pink that all that mattered to me was myself, right. I was just having some light hearted fun. Like I’m supposed to consider what the loss of a million dollars might mean in your life since I’m the only person who matters?
