Hats off to Roberta Maxwell (Mrs. Twist)

<< < (2/5) > >>

bbm_stitchbuffyfan:
Roberta Maxwell and Peter McRobbie were both excellent in their roles. She created a very memorable, tangible character with only, what, 5 pages of script to work with? His lines were piercing and he delivered them well.

That scene was so fucking sad and amazing.

silkncense:
HMMMMMMMM -

What happened to the post by TJ regarding bbm_stitchbuffyfan's post that I responded to below????

Makes MY post (below) look rather strange...shouldn't there be some indication that a prior post had been deleted?


The poster did not say "sad fucking" but rather "fucking sad" - used as an adjective to express 'extremely' as is done in current vernacular.

TJ:
I removed my posts here because I was not going to apologize to a 16 year old boy for using filthy language that was completely uncalled for in the first place.

Using the "F-word" and similar type words completely out of the context of their original meaning is like toddlers telling each other toilet jokes and using kiddy toilet slang to call each other names; except that the only difference is that the speakers just have a larger more vulgar vocabulary. I consider the use of such words by people intelligent enough to get on the internet to be evidence of how low their own moral standards are.

It is one thing to quote what is in a book or in a movie and also when a person said those vulgar words in real life due to their lack of education, like Ennis and Jack did, but, it is something else for people to think that the have to communicate like they are poor white ignorant trailer trash on forums such as this.

The fictional Ennis Del Mar did live in a trailer and he was somewhat ignorant; BUT, he was not trash!

twistedude:
Is that a fuckin' problem? (I didn't see the original offensive post--I just wondered if mine would be considered offensive.).
Thought Robbie and Maxwell were superb...

"The only things Jack's ma don't know haven't happened yet."---me.

I don't find the occasional use of profanity or obscenity to be trashy. IMNSHO.

Again, I did not see the original offensive post, which apparently WAS removed by someone other than the poster--right?

I think I'll have to sneak that line into the story Ijust finished; it's less gloomy than what I have. Might add: "And I'm not so sure about the yet-to-come ones, either."

TJ:
julie01, did your folks teach you to talk that way? Or you did you decide to go along with the crowd?

Men who have a "fuckin' problem" usually have erectile dysfunction. I don't know that much about women. Notice that I selected two words from your post as a quote.
