So I just watched Alien.

Whatever. Scratch the A off my Summer '07 Cinematic Alphabet list.

So far I have:

Alien
The Blues Brothers

NEXT UP! Some C movie.

Luke!
We're having an educated conversation!
Well. . at least one of us is educated.
The rest of us are winging it!

 

[PotteryGal]

Don't worry...mine exploded a long time ago! :lol:

Hi Jenny! :wave:

Hi Nibblies! I'll PM my list to you later this week, after I finish buying it.

Such as...I can do any bad thing I want to you because you may not be real?

Or am I misunderstanding the philosophy?

(I really am leaving)

Nope, I think that's a large ethical implication.

Did everyone see that someone won the lottery?

 

[MerHearted]

Packing sucks! I hate my life! I won't be able to take all my trinkets with me, or even most of them. *pouts*

 

[WDWSwashbuckler]

Did everyone see that someone won the lottery?

Nope, hope it was me!



Wait, I don't play the lottery.


Dang.

I am just picking up the pieces of my brain that exploded. :shrug:

And you're not responding to me on AIM!

Here, I'll help you. I have plenty of experience with this. All you need is a little duct tape and some pixie dust and you'll be back to normal in no time!

 

[Pongo]

You plan on watching a movie for every letter of the alphabet this summer?

Cool...have you seen Casablanca? It would be a good C movie.

And Hi Luke!

I have. A while ago. It isn't eligible.

I love educated conversations! We're talking about Philosophy? Best class I ever took at BCC. Hit me with your best shot.

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

Bye Amy - have fun tonight and stay sober!

Not bloody likely...

And on that note, I am truly leaving.

:kiss:

You will get them there. It will just take time.:lookaroun

Can you ship them down once you have your apartment?

Everyone go see Ratatouille. I thought it was a really nice and funny little flick. That's all.

Thank you but if I get normal I won't know what to do anymore. :shrug: :lol:

Really, there's 2 kinds of philosophy in the grand scheme of things. One is analytical (very dry and awfully boring) and historical, which is what I'm more interested in. The culture of the 17th and 18th centuries was completely diametrically opposite of our own. This is the kind of stuff that was being talked about in posts, on the street, at work! Studying this philosophy allows us to tap into the thinking of a not so distant past. And, as little as many people think this matters to a contemporary world, it is incredibly important to understanding our evolving culture. As little as we realize it, philosophy is still being fed to us every day, often forcibly. We are indoctrinated with the tenants of postmodern ethical thought daily and we spew it out like it's part of some sort of manifesto we've recited without giving much thought to it. Studying the way philosophy influenced the culture even 400 years ago allows us more than just a glimpse of how it's transforming our own culture.

:lookaroun

I think you finally lost me. . .and I tired really hard to keep up.

Okay. . .
So maybe you didn't lose me completely. Historical philosophy would definitely be more interesting. And if you're studying the effects of philosophy on a culture, then you're accepting that that history is fact.

How about Caddyshack? :animwink:
And you can have a Baby Ruth as a snack....:lookaroun

What's fact other than someone transcribing in some medium what they've perceived? :animwink:
