Substance or no substance? That is the question!

Alas, I stroke the flesh-ridden skull that laughs in my palm before me, and I ask the ultimate question…to be…or not to be? That is not the question.

Instead I ask myself this: WHO’S THE MORON HERE!? Those with substance or those without? I’ll start at the beginning…

It’s our last day before the Winter holidays, so our class decides to watch a film this morning, under the condition (set by my teacher) that the film has something to do with our subject in History, which is World War II. I delicately suggest “Schindler’s List”, which in my opinion is one of the greatest films of all time. The majority of the class agrees and I set off to rent Schindler’s List. The video shop doesn’t have it any more. Bastards. So I pick “The Pianist” instead.

We watch the film. Some are shocked, some are moved, some are entertained, some are even amused. But most of the class enjoyed the film and say they’ve learnt something. Most agree, without say, on it being a sad, depressive and important film. BUT, some pricks have the nerve to come up to me after the film and drone on about the film being boring. I, of course, am angered by this. I, of course, lash out and accuse the two morons of lacking substance, taste and brains. They’d rather watch “Pearl Harbour” (starring that incompetent fool Ben Affleck who couldn’t act to save his dick from shrinking) because of the bombs and explosions! How stupid can you get!?

Now, in my opinion, “The Pianist” is not as good as “Schindler’s List”. But it’s a very good film and it deserved those Oscar wins&nominations. It was realistic, featuring superb acting and golden artistic quality. And it’s a bloody shame that the idiots of this world must try to damage that.

Ok, I’m ending my rant here. I hope you readers were able to decipher everything. I’m talking hyper-over-reactive-fury speech at the moment.

With toodles,
