PixlBit

It was to me too,James. lol. I found it....intriguing. 

Truer words have never been spoken. I have no way to argue with that point,Matt. lol.

You called? Oh. Oh! Derp. lol. 

Yeah,I believe I read that biography at one point. Akiyuki wrote from personal experience and that's probably why GOTF is as poignant,warm,human,and yet tragically sad as it is. I literally cried watching it.  

Facebook and Twitter bring out my ultimate stupidity,and I'm bad enough on pixlbit before the "ultimate" is applied. lol.

A fan of omlets I see! Good tastes,Dan!  

You and me both! I still love hitting up a good burger joint I'm just a tad more frugal about it now when compared to when I was 18-25! 

Sorry,bro. I re-read your post and realize that is what you meant. Regardless, I wouldn't be mad at you either way. I think I'm just really used to many people defending whatever passes for "edgy" in the film world these days. 

Viewtiful Joe for only $3.95? Yeah,that's a pretty ace deal! It's also true a homecooked hamburger can end up being healthier. That and frequent trips to the grocery store stock up your pantry much quicker than trips to food joints. Unfortunately,that wisdom eluded me in college. I was so dumb with money and my personal health it was embarassing. 

The problem is with pessimism though is it is already monotonous. Turn on the news or look up youtube and you'll find real life accounts about neglectful parents,cheating husbands,cheating spouses,out of control teenagers,people killing other people over the dumbest of reasons,and an assortment of other topics that can easily make you lose faith in humanity. As such what Lars does only adds to that monotony,at least from my point of view. Perhaps if the news media was sickeningly sweet,optimistic, and upbeat "then" he'd be breaking up the monotony... (I also understand movies and the news are not exactly on the same block but one of the reasons I like the former is that it is a way to escape from the later. Lars also isn't the only guy who does dark pessimism.)

It's odd. I've always been infactuated by goth things but I do not know if I am goth myself. I certainly do not dress goth (though I enjoy Goth Metal) yet I can also enjoy genres outside of goth. The problem with being in a clique is it seems like you're suddenly not allowed to have fun with other stuff outside your chosen label. Where's the fun in that,Cary? Just continue to be yourself. lol.
