Trainspotting - 96

The 90's.

Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star

But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same
We're all the same

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are

- Styx, 1977

I know it's pedantic, but I'm a civil engineer. I can, and have, worked all day with poop and never gotten any on me.

The lengths some people will go to, to defend people who very much do not deserve the benefit of the doubt

 

[el-remmen]

I find people who assume that whatever they have recently learned/discovered must be a new phenomenon annoying AF.

BTW, this in itself is not a new phenomenon.

I disagree. I just heard about it, so it must be a new phenomenon.

Sometimes I question if people around here even enjoy pizza at all.

I'm willing to bet money that some people around here are lactose-intolerant and allergic to both tomatoes and wheat, but they eat pizza anyway just so they can share their misery with others.

Nah, they just order their pizzas with gluten-free crust and vegan pesto, and roll their eyes when purists start accusing them of "ruining pizza for everyone."

Then we bring out the burning dumpsters, and go around the circle again to air our grievances.

Life in the 90s got you down?

 

[Thomas Shey]

"I'm the bad guy? When did that happen?"

Life in the 90s got you down?

White man not feeling respected enough so goes on a shooting spree. Hmm. That sounds so familiar. Where have I heard that one before?

 

[trappedslider]

tell me you haven't seen the movie without telling me you haven't seen it.

 

[overgeeked]

Sorry. I have seen it. He's the villain, not a victim.

Hey, White People: Michael Douglas Is the Villain, Not the Victim, in Falling Down - LA Weekly

The film itself is a caricature, but it carries the stain of reality in every frame.

Sorry. I have seen it.

In that case, yours is certainly a different take, well more recent take than others on it. But a remake done with anyone in the lead role snapping like that would totally fall under the "not getting the respect they think they deserve" umbrella

I see it as joker's "one bad day away" from snapping. I mean from what his Ex said to Robert Duvall's character it was only a matter of time before he got physical.

It's what I took from it when I saw it when it first came out in the cinema. The guy was an a-hole without an ounce of self-awareness.
