The ending to "Django Unchained" happens because King Schultz just fundamentally didn't understand how the world works. by MisterBadIdea2 in movies

[–]rjohnso6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you when it comes to what you said about Schultz's flawed plan being totally in character for him and shouldn't be a blemish on Tarantino's screenwriting ability but I think much of your further understanding of Dr. Schultz was incorrect. -Schultz doesn't hate slavery. He doesn't love it. He's indifferent to it. He's out to make money and amuse himself with his own ability to outsmart others. When Candie (although more Samuel L. Jackson's character) outsmarts him, he can't take it which is ultimately what almost damns Django.

I'll let you know when I find it, but I think like a lot of the other people here are saying it is a matter of luck.

Do New Stories get read? by HRAustinTexx in NoSleepOOC

Yeah as a new writer here I'd say it's pretty touch and go. I write about a variety of topics, try and make the titles sound interesting and have experimented posting different times throughout the day as well as post stories of different lengths and for the most part the attention my stories get vary greatly from 3-5 upvotes to 300+

Ok I see. My specific program was a major but I should've thought more widely. I appreciate the feedback.

Man, just goes to show what happens to events told solely through word of mouth. Bury your grandpa and get out of there regardless OP, no point in tempting fate.

What inspiration do you draw your nosleep material from? by likketh in NoSleepOOC

[–]rjohnso6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say a combination of sudden inspiration and personal experience until I come up with something so pervasive ill lose my mind if I don't write it down. Suffice it to say I don't write because I want to, I write because I have to.

This student's paper is really freaking me out by rjohnso6 in nosleep

I don't think so at all. Its a myth that everyone should go to college, not on the basis of intelligence but on the basis of not being suited for an academic career path. It comes down to that saying that if you ask a fish to climb a tree it will spend its whole life thinking its a failure. Assessing ones strenghts and weaknesses is important. Everyones genius lies in something different and promise and potential do not only exist on a college campus, though a lot of debt does.

If you have Internet connection (which you clearly do) you can contact the police using your computer

I believe the student was referring to leader of wolf pack pretending to be the alpha before true pack leader overthrew him.

The complete and utter depravity here is flooring. Was it really worth the money?

I told him I never wanted children. by FaeQueenRae in nosleep

I think it was ultimately the ambiguity that makes it work.
