Why He Hates Jerry Maguire
R. Alex Whitlock
Brian Micklethwait:
This movie preaches the same message, of what to me seems like emotional incontinence, that Princess Diana ? or perhaps I mean the Princess Diana industry ? preached and still preaches here in Britain. Old fashioned (stuck up) stoicism is out. Emotional display is in. Self control is out. "Honesty" and "authenticity" are here. Although just how authentic the acting out that goes on nowadays actually is, I choose to be skeptical about. I prefer people who do brilliant things on a sports field to exchange solemn handshakes, not to go crazy and kiss each other and dance about like mad things.

Remind me to tell y'all what I call a "Maguire Sugar Moment" based off that movie. No relation to this, though.

I'm inclined to agree with Brian, as many around me would know. I will soon have to post my Martian in Care-a-lot entry. Very soon.

So what do y'all think?

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
