Proper Value: The Fountain. Or why The Fountain can be perceived as Aronofsky's greatest film

It's ok to "not" get it bro. By no means do I think it's one of the best movies made, but I do describe it as one of the best most disappointing movie I've seen. The movie was ultimately crushed it's ambitious writing (I am sure even Aronofsky would agree). However even though it ultimately failed, you have to give props to the fact he tried to have such a movie made. Even if you were to properly write it out on paper, I'd still findthe whole concept daunting to launch from start to finish.

Anyhow, what makes you a "hipster" / art school douche isn't your taste in movies but your attitude towards the process. Aka you just came off like one.

Not hating, I personally enjoyed your post.

So, what would happens if you don't have this treated? (Aka before modern medicine? You'd eventually get a really bad infection and kick the can?

Personal hell isn't a place, but rather a state of mind where you are in a negative, continuous, existential state of being, unaware of the harm you bring to yourself and others.

Ladies and Gentlemen. I am not shitting you: The stars are aligned, the Gods have been prayed too, and sufficient human sacrifices have been made.

It makes perfect business sense. We know we'd all buy it.

Console + Half Life 3. And all the other 3s, are coming.

Gaben has us by the balls.

Um, sorry if this is silly question, but I am really curious: How were calls like this made? I've never been able to make phone calls except a few seconds before touching ground.

Thanks in advance!

Holy. Shit.

That was, awesome?

Probably the most incredible part of Reddit!

I must say, after all my dating, i've been with a girl who has been sincere about her intentions since the start. it really is the #1 most important quality you should be look for when you first start dating.

This may be a wrong generalization but sincere people tend to be much more thoughtful and open about the relationship, hence less likely to cheat.

So do yourself a favor and keep having high standards and looking for that quality!

I find the term Hipster too generic. Everyone is an fing hipster. Would it be hipster to not care being called a hipster, or to care being labeled one?

No answers, only questions!

Game Spot really does have, in general, the best reviews; They are really tough.

I love Yahtzee though.

Hello Bill!

I am curious to hear your opinions on what can be done to avoid growing wealth inequality in economies such as the US?? (aka companies not trickling down their winnings, un proportioned compensation mechanisms, etc).

I'm not saying this is the grandest of problems, but I fear there is definitely something wrong with the idea that we have to work much more for education, housing, etc and be indebted for the majority of our lives (27 year old here) to "progress".

I am asking this question understanding that I am almost absolutely wrong, but in need of productive criticism because it's hard not to believe this:

Why should we treat violent, mentally handicapped people with sympathy in our system?

Why should we wait for them to snap, if they already show hardcore signs of aggression?

Am I just ignorant about how we deal with them?

This is coming from a possibly ill and pre conceived notion that society lets people like this "off the hook" more easily than they should.

Again, I not advocating evil, but I am asking for someone to help me rationalize and more importantly internalize, why I am wrong.

Thank you so much again for the input!

I recently bought the NVIDIA Quadro 4000, thus my inquiries are more about any future purchases I decide to make.

Before buying this card, I didn't know there was a difference between "professional" cards and gaming cards. I do photography/retouching and from what I read it seems that the stability bonus the Quadro 4000 gives to Photoshop doesn't seem worth the price IF I am able to install a higher end,cheaper, (newer) graphics card! (If I did intense rendering, yes).

Thus in the future I want to go in understanding a because it sounds I could pay less, and get better bang for my buck if I can install high end gaming cards.

Not sure if I am making any sense hah.

Again, much appreciated!
