Life Sucks, HOORAY MOVIES!
Ahh, Ailee Slater. What would we do without your insights? Not since Simone De Bouvier Beauvoir has the world seen such consideration of the void:
In my opinion, the world at large is increasingly null and void, in and of itself. Were all going to die, be it from Avian bird flu, nuclear weapons, or some form of feisty, stormy air molecules.

Lets talk about art and culture and ways to make humans a little happier.
If life is so dull, drab, and horrible, why waste time with movies at all? So that you can write gems like this, apparently:
You can guess a film is foreign when a quarter into the plot it turns out that the main character has been dead for years.
I’d have guessed the film was foreign because its title is La Mala Educacion, but maybe I’m being too perceptive.
Here’s a tip, Ailee: no one will ever love you, and if life is so dreary, it might be nobler to take up arms against ye olde slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

“We are all going to die.” Man, that’s good reporting. Here I was thinking I was omnipotent. BTW, calling it “Avian bird flu” is redundant.

That discounts the posibilty of Equine birds. FEAR THE EQUINE BIRDS!

The ODE opinion page is quickly turning into a particularly stupid LiveJournal. I guess this must be one of the key parts of their bold “experiment in democracy.”

Why didn’t this run in the Pulse section?

I’d imagine it’s because the Pulse section has higher standards than the Commentary section. I’m almost surprised it didn’t run in Sports.

Simone de Bouvier? Was she on The Simpsons?

That’ll teach me to spell check with google.

Never trust SkyNet.
