When the rich are done fucking us....

Stuff from Facebook #23

...utopia will bloom, I'm sure.
Said no poor person ever.

 I'm kind of morbidly curious. What do the super-rich plan on doing once they've killed all us dirty stinky poors with program slashing, pollution, wars, and working us to death for free in corporate prisons? Are they gonna dig tunnels under the ground, and inbreed with their own children until they become mole-rat people with eyeballs on their backs? Or is something supernatural supposed to bail them out?

They think the 19th century was good, worth returning to, and sustainable forever, and ever, and ever.
So, yes, their beliefs are absolutely supernatural.

Well everyone seems to be increasingly angry at Jeff Bezos (I always read his name as "Beezus," as in "Ramona and Beezus") because working in Amazon's warehouses apparently makes working at Wal-Mart look like getting high as a motherfucking kite and eating squeezy cheeze on Ritz crackers all day and what I think he's trying to do right now is pump his bald butt up into space, I guess global warming isn't going to reach the fookin' moon eh Jeffrey with one F Jefery? But that's nothing new--the super-rich have always been interested in silly safari adventures. I mean, I guess it's better than him going to Africa to kill some endangered species and mount the head on the wall.

Oh also I watched Robert Altman's 1972 horror film "Images," made during his prime era and probably his only real horror movie. It's a psychological horror movie about a woman on a country vacation who may be schizophrenic and begins seeing and hearing things that may or may not be there.

I didn't get into it much. It's mostly too ambiguous and doesn't make me feel like sitting down and adding up each puzzle piece to figure out what the "Truth" is, and it's only got a few good scares, mostly revolving around the lead actress doing a blood curdlingly loud jump-screech.

If you like the atmosphere of stuff like "Don't Look Now," I will admit that it is at least well crafted and shot and all, in that early 70s style, but I didn't much give a crap about the MEANING of it. I think you've said in the past that you don't care for Altman so there's that too.

Re: Bezos.
Yeah, he's a villain straight out of a Dickens novel.
I still can't solve the "chicken or the egg?", problem of whether becoming a billionaire warps you to evil, or if only evil bastards become billionaires.

Either way, I'm coming around to Bernie Sanders assertion that there just ought not be billionaires.
There's really nothing a single human being can do to deserve a billion dollars.
Except maybe fly around with a cape, and save the planet from aliens.
And that scenario never seems to come up.


Re: Robert Altman
*Googles*
Oh! He did MASH, and Popeye!
Yeah, I like Robert Altman, I dunno where you got the impression I didn't.
Must be mixing him up with either Sam Peckinpah, or Roman Pulaski.

Altman's best films are The Long Goodbye (1973) and Nashville (1975). Watch the former for an awesomely cynical take on the Marlowe-style detective story. I think I remember you saying you hated Short Cuts (1993).

Peckinpah - you hate The Wild Bunch? Damn, wasn't expecting that one...

Polanski - I only like Chinatown really...

Nope, haven't seen Short Cuts.
Must be someone else.

Haven't seen Wild Bunch, but loathed Straw Dogs.

I like Rosemary's Baby, and The Fearless Vampire Hunters (he's just an actor in that one).
The Tenant was pretentious swill.
I only watched that one to complete that AMC Halloween movie list.
