of course it wasn't, it was based loosely off a graphic novel that was based loosely off a myth that was based loosely off actual events...plus...it would be a movie...which in most cases means that pieces of it are going to be far fetched for entertainment purposes.

Does anyone else out there in Mindsay land avoid movies with graphic violence?

I wish I understood why y'all like watching violence so much.

If you say you like violent movies in spite of the violence, not because of the violence, that's a predictable and boring answer which doesn't really help me understand you. 

Come on guys, I keep blogging about violence in the media, and nobody has stepped forward to take a stab (ha ha) at explaining why they love violent movies.

I say it's because of my morbid disposition...I like the stabby stabby...it's exciting.

Well.... in the months since I wrote that comment on this wiki page, I've changed a little.  Though it still turns my stomach, I now see another side to it, a "dark appeal".  So I doubt I'll be complaining about violent movies quite as much anymore.  Not that I'll be renting every horror movie ever made, but maybe a few...

This movie is already playing at the dollar theater here in Des Moines...Did it bomb or what?

Actually it didn't.  It made box office history in the first two weeks of it opening -- made more money than Matrix and Passion of the Christ.  Budget theatres usually get movies, whether or not they made a lot of money, as soon as they are in the second run of distribution.  Several members of my family used to work at movie theatres and they always told me that it's always up to the distributors, not their personal choice to show whatever movie comes along.  I'm still angry that my local theatre didn't show 300 on a mega screen.  For some reason it was released in Stevens Point, Wisconsin only in the campus/university theatre -- a much smaller screen without all the fancy surround sound.  I think, because of the smaller demagraphic, they didn't expect it to do so well.  But they were wrong. 

thats too bad.  My brother went to see it, and he said that the cinemetography and graphics were pretty sweet.  I am not sure if I am going to see it or not...maybe wait til dvd release.

I want to see it on IMAX which I've been told is the best way to see it.  When it comes on dvd I'll also have to watch it on my brother's plasma hdtv screen...

thats the way to go... we have an IMAX here, but it is usually used for science stuff, and docs.  I don't think it will ever make it to IMAX here period.

O.K! Everybody In The Pool!  

Hey!  Nice to see you on a different wiki page for once. 

 

How're ya?

Hey, Valentina! Good to hear from you again! Yes, we've had 'a we bit of excitement around here lately! Must be 'something in the tides, you know.

I never actually saw that picture... 300 that everyone was argueing about... but if that little excerp above is from the film, I can 'easily see that it was an extremely 'Dramatic' work, with a lot of 'Artistic Camera Angles,' plus the Magnificent Masculinity that we don't see much of anymore, since half the boys on our planet are now growing up with 'Mothers alone, and so take on their more feminine side!

I am still writing on 'The Mindsay Wiki' but not as often... except for the last week! This 'Gutter Mouthed' girl, and her cohort, keep attacking me, because they 'Don't like my Main Blog, or Personal Wiki Page! They keep on pretending that it is about something else... like my quotation marks! Anyway, I have been 'BLASTING' back at them! It certainly has made the Mindsay Wiki Page come alive, if nothing else! Anyway, I am fine. Thanks for asking. How about you?
Warm Regards, Shaunasea

Yeah, after the arguments that happened on this page, I was laughing to myself and wanted to say to the individual who was constantly critiquing me for liking this film: "Repeat after me: IT'S ONLY A MOVIE.  IT'S ONLY A MOVIE."  Which is a quote from the trailer for Last House on the Left -- a horror movie that came out in the early '70s.

 

I noticed the bitchiness on the main wiki page lately.  I just tend to ignore that stuff.  It seems like some people just go looking for a bitching session as soon as they get online.  However, it's always refreshing to let someone's stupid comments just be ignored.

 

I'm doing well.  I'm making plans to move soon.  Not sure where.  My current place of residence is annoying me.  Living in a basement apartment isn't always so easy.

You remind me so much of 'my niece!' I mean 'the way that you speak!' You even look somewhat like her!

That is 'Good Advice' Val! You are 'not only a beautiful gal, but 'smart as well! I will try it out! Not with 'these two bitches' because they would then 'think that they won' our little war... but with the next one, if I can. It depends on 'what they say, I think. It 'would' be refreshing to let 'stupid comments' be ignored!

When I was in my early years, like you, I lived in 'every kind of annoying situation' that you can imagine! I had a 'limited' income... and was it ever! Fortunately, I fell in love with a 'man of means,' and he took me under his wing, as I was ill, and could not hold onto a job, no matter how hard I tried! We lived together for 'three years' and then when we broke up, I went back to my high school sweetheart, who I am 'still in love with' and married to now.

At least you are not 'ill, and can 'climb the ladder of financial success! You will reach the top! I just 'know' it! I also hope that 'you pick a 'great guy!' Watch out for the 'smooth-talkers' that 'do nothing for you, but 'talk!' Watch carefully 'what they do' ... not just say!

~Shaunasea 

Sweet!  Love the kitty smilely face!

Of course, I also have the attitude sometimes that says, "If you dislike me, I will make you hate me" kind of bitchyness when someone gets on my nerves online, you know?

I am mentally ill, and don't make a habit of hiding it anymore, but my condition is treatable now that know what it is and how to handle it.  Bi-polar disorder is terrible!  But I am feeling much more positive in my life now.  Maybe someday I'll be up to getting into a new relationship, but for now I am enjoying my independence!

~Valentina

Valentina! Hit me with a 'tall cactus!' My aunt was diagosed Bi-Polar, but she was actually 'Quite Normal!' These psychiatrists 'Love' to come up with 'new labels... it is to convince people that they are 'mentally ill,' so that they can charge enormous fees for their time! She would of course, like any human being, have periods of deep depression, and other periods of feeling 'quite high! That is 'Normal!' We are much like the 'weather. Sunny one day, but Stormy, another day. She was put on medication, and her emotions seemed to settle down more... never quite sunny anymore, but never stormy either.

Perhaps your situation is 'more severe' than hers... I don't know you well enough to say.

I had O.C.D. and 'Extreme Social Anxiety' but with medication, I am doing well indeed! It still 'bugs me' a little each day... (The O.C.D.) and other than my husband, I avoid people as much as possible, other than on the internet... not because I don't want to be with people, but because I am still very much prone to 'Panic Attacks' when they are around me. Even with the medication. It helps me enough so that I can go to the stores, banks, restaurants, and basically function normally in society. However, social events, meeting new people, parties, picnics, and such, are impossible for me to attend. Even having extended family stay with us, is impossible, so Michael will visit without me. I can also travel, but it is definately a 'struggle' for me. However, I don't think of myself as 'mentally ill'... I think of myself as 'Traumatized' from early childhood, as it began when I was about six years old. That is when I started kindergarden. Before that, I was perfectly normal!

I can tell by the way that you write, that you are 'Very Bright' and you have a very 'Sensible' attitude toward the things that you have so far written about!

Hugs, Shaunasea 

Yeah, I know all about that bogus crap doctors can pull on ya once you're diagnosed, 'cept they kept treating me for the wrong ailments for decades until finally this diagnosis seemed right on and the treatment for it really helped me function a lot better.  There are better drugs, but it's the frikkin' process of figuring out what are the best ones to work for each individual.  I've been misdiagnosed a lot in my life and was plum lucky to have family with similiar problems who beat the system.

 

A lot of people get misdiagnosed as bi-polar, too, which may have happened to your mother.  You can have a mood disorder and not be bi-polar.  Bi-polar, formerly known as manic-depression is more of a physical disorder that exhibits itself as a  psychiatric problem, so you can see why it would be confusing.  I've written a lot about my experiences with this disorder, as well as other mental problems I have, and how I've dealt with them in amusing and frustrating ways in my blog.

 

I can relate to the Social Anxiety stuff, too.  My traumatization came after I survived a brutal rape and beating from an acquaintence in college.  I would love to get back to feeling more safe in crowded environments, but it's a process.  Every now and then I push myself to do better, taking baby steps, so that when a very important occasion comes up, I won't miss it.  I've missed a lot of really great concerts and parties due to my panic, which comes and goes at times, like a storm cloud lifting or building.  Most of my friends are used to it, so they don't give me too much grief!

 

Thanks once again for your insight and comments!  I should probably have you on my friends list before I forget to add you again...

laters,

Val

Dear Val, Thank you for adding me as a 'Friend! You will be added to my 'Friends list as well! This 'kind' of reminds me of 'when we were in high school... but then in high school, I was so 'Traumatized' that I only had 'One' friend! I was kind of like 'The kitten hiding behind the chair!

I will read your essays on how you dealt with this Bi-Polar! (It was my Aunt, not my mother who was diagnosed with the same.)

Actually, my mother was a 'lot like yours' from what you wrote. She 'caused' most of my 'Trauma' to begin with... and I have a feeling that your mom, (even if she meant well) caused you your pain. My mother was also determined to be 'extremely illogical!' Only she would have my 'father beat me, when he came home from work! He used a 'leather strap' and I was glad when my mother 'dearest' kicked him out, because then I only had her to deal with... at least for a while... then she manipulated it so that my brother and I would be 'pitted against one another, by always favoring him! I was to young to see 'how manipulative she was! It was a 'Totally disfunctional' home! ( I could never really warm up toward my mother, even from very early childhood, and I know that 'she felt it! ) That was the basis of the problem! I loved her 'very basically' as a child loves it's mother, but I never 'liked' her! She was 'sneaky' manipulative, and always 'dishonest!

The 'One' beautiful thing about her was that 'She did Love Animals! 'There, and Only there, was the 'One place that we connected strongly.

Because of 'THAT' One 'VERY BEAUTIFUL' attribute, I forgave her for 'All the rest! I knew that 'with all her faults... she was HUMAN!

I also tried to 'end it all' several times! I am now 'Thankful' that God intervined, for I have made many 'strides' for Animal Rights/Welfare and Inspired Others as well!

E-Gads! it is close to 2:00 in the morning, so until later, I had better get in a few zzz's!

Love~ Shaunasea
