He might be referring to your peculiar blend of pomposity and cowardice. 😛
Pomposity and cowardice? That's a pompous and cowardly thing to say in light of anonymity. I don't need to prove a thing to you or your buddy divegeester.

In a way that you are not entirely comfortable with and subsequently feel the need to back away from by either disappearing from the thread or, as in this case, blaming some sort of supernatural being (a genie) for influencing you.
The genie comment was made in jest, but now you and your cohort are going to take it and run with it and reveal your true natures. Just keep it coming.
Originally posted by RavelloDo you feel empowered joining forces with FMF and divegeester in making presumptuous character assassinations against anyone the disagrees with your beliefs?
Indeed now we know he's not a "movie junkie" or a book junkie, as if enjoying (good) movies and books is a shame..........
It is said a threefold cord is not easily broken. Apparently the three of you have nothing better to do with your time than to heap ridicule.
Originally posted by josephwI don't think so. It's just my opinion. It's based on your posting record. You have also expressed candid opinions about me and my posting record. It's all good, josephw. Anonymity has nothing to do with it. 😉

IF you happen to be refering to what I said about not being a Movie Junkie. Where did I say there was any shame in it? I just said I was not a Movie Junkie, and had not read the book, thats it!

I speak the language, but anyone can tell you my grammar and spelling aren't always great. I never thought being called a Movie Junkie was an insult, just a fact. Some can tell you about movies from back in the 60's, 70's and who starred in them. Now calling someone a "Junkie" wouldn't be nice. Usually refers to drugs.
I certainly couldn't do that. Once Andy told me what Dive was talking about. It all came back to me. I really should have gotten that one. I had actually watched that movie, thought it was a great movie. One Jack Nicholsons best performances in my opinion.

I mean, you guys do nothing but complain about how you can't stand it in this place here and you don't have the guts just to walk out? What do you think you are, for Chrissake, crazy or somethin'? Well you're not! You're not! You're no crazier than the average a$$hole out walkin' around on the streets and that's it.

on this one we agree, it is a grat movie indeed, maybe one of the rare cases in which the movie competes with the book thanks to the extraordinary interpretation of Nicholson.
