    i do agree about the premise of a lynch mob being wrong
    "hands up don't shoot" and the resulting fallout was all based on a lie that BLM and many other groups champion
    it just never happened
    its awful and potentially disastrous to society as we see today
    but weinstein is a fucking pig and its been out there for decades
    he's on tape apologizing as well

    Bluezoo, Irish, and all you other tv aficionados need to watch mindhunter on Netflix. It's like their version of true detective s1. Good stuff

    Yeah, I liked huh?'s article, and it has nothing to do with HW. It has everything to do with the way we love to pile onto people when they are down. The article is about the mob, not about the subject of the mobs "righteous indignation".

    true that.
    I think in the last 20 years we've reverted back to some of the baser human behaviors.

    if nothing else is on i'll tune in to see a few zombies and that it
    just impossibly stupid writing and unbelievable plot lines
    that dick w the bat has lasted like a 100 episodes longer than he should of
    bad actors and waaaaaay too much of that long staring at each other thats supposed to be intense but is actually gay
    i liked FTWD longer but haven't really watched much of that either
    all of the sudden we need to listen to all the gay characters prattle on about the depth of their love and FUCK enough already
    plus how can you enjoy it when they want you to believe that woman/mother whoever she is suddenly starts telling everyone what to do and they follow her?
    totally disappointed in what seemed to have endless story line possibilities
    i know it can't be non stop zombie attacks but just too much moronic filler in an hour for me

    Once they turned alternative genre into popular soap operas I stopped watching all of it.

    my brother and i were talking about this just the other day
    its like the writers run out of ideas or (more likely) get lazy and just go this route

    totally representative of the pathetic dialogue and that idiotic character
    i bet there was about 25 shots of the other "actors" looking at each other w intense brooding expressions
    maybe it was for the rest of the show

    No I haven’t, but on another note, the Catcher in the Rye has taken on a different feel for me ever since John Lennon’s assasin was apparently obsessed with that book.

    I have no idea what you felt previously about CITR, but do you still consider the work an American masterpiece( if you did, of course)?
    I don't think artists should be held responsible for the lunatic fringe, which is inspired malevolently by whatever they create in their various art forms...like
    Hinckle trying to impress Jodie Foster by wasting Reagan...or The Beatles for Helter Skelter and Manson...or 20,000 (whatever) murders and slaughters by religious fanatics and their interpretations of books like the Bible or Quran.

    I’m not blaming the book or author for that, but I was and still am a huge Lennon and Beatles fan, and I can’t but connect that book with Chapman. He literally killed a dream for many people.

    I guess, as for the book, at the time I read it I thought it was great and left an impression on me, but I never put it within the pantheon of “great” books that I will always remember. And as I grew older, it left less of an impression on me.

    In my opinion, it’s a book for growing adolescents finding themselves just like a Separate Peace is for an even younger age group. As I grew older and lived life, it seemed less important.

    But when Chapman linked the book as his inspiration for his heroic act, I couldn’t help but think how immature, how childish, and how stupid certain ideas and feelings can be at a certain age....and how certain people can take these immature thoughts and put it into action.

    I suspect Salinger’s almost total isolation after he wrote that book may have been his way of distancing himself from the “crazies” who tried to make him some kind of pied piper if adolescent dreams.

    Just my 2 cents.

    wasn't he also obsessed with jodie foster?
    or was that the guy who shot reagan?
    agree with @Bluezoo...
    not salinger's fault a lunatic likes his work
    would you become a giants fan if you learned hitler and osama bin laden were dodger fans?
