Random Social Chit-Chat v. Illuminati Confirmed

^
The scenes that were home videos of him singing in public venues before he was famous were pretty cool. He was/is very talented.

A good portion of the movie was them explaining how he wasn't part of "the industry" to become a product. He wasn't on Disney and didn't have an established way to get recognized. It was through using youtube and then traveling from radio station to radio station to mall to small concert that started to build his fan base until he basically exploded onto the public scene.

You seem to have a personal dislike for him, which is clouding your judgement. The kid is musically gifted. I don't see how you can say otherwise. His music isn't really my taste, but he can clearly sing, play the guitar, and play the drums. What wouldn't be inspiring about this? Because he didn't have years and years of misery where his work was unappreciated? Because he had so much success so young?
 
carl, you know you're allowed to cease your suspension of disbelief after you're done with watching the movie, right? ;)

Dude, some guy saw him on Youtube and introduced him to Usher. That's pretty much the beginning and end of the story. He could have traveled to a million malls and still not have even been a blip on anyone's radar. Instead, he got an immediate audience with the head of a major record label who basically saw that he had a golden-egg laying goose, and "Bieber Fever" was born.

Uh, I don't know him, how could I have a personal dislike for him? You're the one citing a movie about Justin Bieber to defend Justin Bieber...that's like trying to debate the Korean War using episodes of MASH. Of course they're going to make it look like he worked and struggled for his fame - its a movie. There needs to be some sort of conflict. But at the end of the day he just got lucky.

Have you ever been to Youtube? Justin Bieber isn't anything special. So he can sing on key and strum chords - hell, I can do that. Millions of people can do that. Playing instruments isn't difficult, and the fact that he can play a few doesn't make him a musical genius. There are people who post in NEMD with more interesting songs than the schlock Bieber and company put out. He's a face to sell merchandise, and that's pretty much it.

I don't get spiderman 2.
Doc Oc didn't get any stronger when he got the arms attached to him, they were just super strong mechanical things. Wouldn't 1 punch from someone with super strength like spiderman break his fucking skull and smash his brain into jelly? The movie should've ended within their first fight sequence IMO.

just watching the second season of falling skies. every character, including the aliens, seems to be suffering from some sort of trisomy. it's oddly reminiscent of the walking dead in this regard.
 
What kind of movies do you like? Any particularly favorites?

I've had periods of my life where I kind of binged on movies, and almost relied on them for comfort. I'd feel very connected to certain movies, and probably sat in front of a screen too much. I don't think it's particularly abnormal. No different than music and books providing emotional solace. But if you're depending on movies to get through life, then there's obviously something you need to address that films and other forms of art won't solve on their own.
 
Sometimes you have to consecrate on something else to keep ya going, nothing wrong with that. Better watching moving then doing drugs... right?

If you read a lot im not sure if you do but I do, I have noticed there are no such things as original movies except once in a blue moon, everything is a idea stolen from someone else... its funny almost
 
Anything could save a life, depending on the situation.
Yes, movies can bring meaning and annihilate boredom and instil inspiration and express information and spark thought. Movies can spend time valuably, or waste time. They can entertain and bore. Create emotions.
Movies can do lots of things, and it's all dependant on what you want and what you derive from said material. The quality of the material is directly influenced by the cast/crew that created it, but what qualities you like others will dislike, and visa versa. And again, if you don't have it in you to derive all you can, even the 'greatest' movies (quantified by critics and pop culture) can create tedium and disinterest without any value.
 
If you want some truly good movies then try to stay away from Hollywood blockbusters.
Try out some independent films or foreign films as they usually tell great stories rather than being all about special effects and explosions.
