Trolls and flamers...

learn that even these boards have trolls and flame wars! (I had to explain to
him what a troll and a flame war was!) Wow, I guess it's inevitable, huh? A
by-product of technology.
By the way, as part of the assignment given to me by J a few weeks ago, I
lurked on the David Duchovny NG. I never lurked before, wanted to try it.
Man, is it hard not to reply! How do you people do it? I almost did a few
times w/o even thinking about it! Anyway, the same shit goes on there as here.
It's everywhere.

I don't know about dark. I just thought DS9 was pretty boring. I
liked some of the characters a good bit, but I didn't find the stories
interesting.
I had hopes for Voyager--getting back out in space where the
interesting stuff happens--but much as I really wanted to like it, I
couldn't make myself watch it after about halfway into the first
season.
I guess without Patrick Stewart, the Star Trek franchise has lost its
charm for me.

A by-product of anonymity, more likely. All flamers and trolls DO is
what any intelligent person would LIKE to do when faced with a room
full of go-along-to-get-along-idiots...wreak verbal havoc. Think of it
as a "training session." Flamers and trolls teach you to THINK before
you type. Otherwise, you risk having your ass burned publically. I
think it's a lovely system.

Snubbed? He's only been in a dozen movies or so. Comedians don't get
Oscars until they've been in a serious film, see: Robin Williams.
Considering the vast numbers of exceptional actors that are working
and the extremely limited numbers of Oscars given out each year, I
hardly think that Carey need consider himself snubbed. My favorite
director, Ridley Scott, has never been given an Oscar. Is Hollywood
snubbing him? I don't think so. He's still making movies and making
money. Talk to Cliff Roberts if you want to discuss Hollywood
snubbing, not Jim Carey.

Honestly, who cares? Russell Crowe is a good actor, but sorta ordinary
looking, doncha think? I wouldn't mind running into him if he were
entertaining and friendly, otherwise, I'd just as soon not bother. I
grew up with a mother who was an actress. I met plenty of famous
people when I was a little girl. They're just people. Some of them
were really nice, some were assholes. Being a celebrity doesn't make
anyone particularly special in my book. The most "star-struck" I've
ever been was in the presence of Jerry West, a Santa Fe artist that
you've probably never heard of. His work moved me so deeply that I
could not speak without choking up. No actor on earth will ever effect
me that way.

I don't know. I never looked. And I can't tell him anything right now.

Not a bad recall. My husband was a test systems engineer, slightly
different but pretty darned close. Jerry works in oil. I honestly
don't know why anyone would work in anything else. Watercolor is a
pain in the ass and there are damned few famous watercolorists.
Acrylic just doesn't have the richness of colour or the time
element/elasticity of oil. Pastel/charcoal is the only other 2-D
medium I like.
Let's see...what else has happened? Well, my son has finished school
and is now working (yay!). I've got a full time job in addition to
artwork (got four little paintings in a show that runs through the
18th of this month) We've travelled all over the North Island, taking
pictures of giant things. Kiwis love giant things. The smaller the
town, the bigger the giant thing. After covering the entire North
Island, I have to say this is the cleanest country in the world. Even
in poorer rural areas, they may not be able to afford a new coat of
paint on the house, but the lawn is mowed and there's no trash
anywhere. No trash and no billboards...and you can drink right out of
the streams.
I DO hope that one of my fellow religionists has mentioned that The
Matrix is SubG philosophy made into film.

I think the reason I liked DS9 so much was that it broke out of the mold of being on one
starship and hopping from planet to planet, and I liked how the story constantly flowed.
Voyager is frustrating the hell out of me! When will they get home?

Well I thought that AT THE MINIMUM one of them would have mentioned
that it's what we've been saying all along. That there is a conspiracy
to keep us from seeing what is real. We call it the CON, and tell
SubGenii to not allow THEM to pull the wool over your eyes, but
rather, to pull it over your OWN eyes instead. Aliens...keeping us
from seeing reality, keeping us under control. Oh yeah, it's as SubG
as it gets.

I don't know much about Art History, actually. What I understand is
Painting. I know how to see what is right and wrong with a painting.

J...you've actually pleased me! I hate it when people demean their own
ability to know good from bad in the art world. Most people, when
given a choice between two paintings, can tell you which is the
better. They can't always tell you WHY because they don't have the
technical knowlege, but if an artist is good...it shows.
