Urban Splendour - New tumblr
Directing most of my attention here.
Add me if you like
“Like Romeo and Juliet, Bella and Edward aren’t in love. At best it’s a combination of lust and infatuation, and at worst it’s an unhealthy and abusive relationship.
Consider this. You have a friend who has a new boyfriend. She tells you that she fell for him after one glance across a carpark. He didn’t seem to like her at first but in no time at all he was all over her. He sneaks into her bedroom without her knowledge when she’s asleep and watches her, and listens to her dream. He took the engine out of her car to stop her visiting another friend whom he dislikes and mistrusts. She has to phone that same friend in secret because he looks angry when he catches her talking to him. They don’t really know each other well. They don’t talk about much except how into each other they are. He often looks furious when she disagrees with him. They have both attempted suicide when forced apart. He had to go away for a few days so he had his sister kidnap her and hold her hostage while he was gone. He also bullied and manipulated her into agreeing to marry him, before she could get what she wanted out of the relationship. He withholds affection if she won’t do what he wants. But he does all this because he really, truly loves her so it’s ok. You’re reaching for the Yellow Pages to find the domestic violence hotline just reading that, right? So why is it OK to put these ideas in fiction aimed at teens and young adults, to glamorise suicide and to perpetuate the notion that no girl is complete until the cutest boy in school smiles at her? Is it alright because he’s a vampire? That being treated like a possession and losing all free will is just dandy, as long as your suitor does it because he loves you?

In my 19 years on this shithole I haven’t learned much but here are a couple things
- never date someone who doesn’t like the clash
- Fuck regrets, do drugs.
- If you meet anyone who says ” I love the catcher in the rye, it’s my favourite book, I really identify with Holden Caufield” back away slowly. You do not need to talk to that person. Nothing they say will benefit you in anyway.
- Alcohol may not be a solution to your problems, but who gives a shit about problems when you’re drunk
- Just because people talk about it a lot and say it’s really good, does not mean it’s really good.
- Old people are cool as shit except for the really lame ones.
- Never make a bet that you can be Vegan for 3 months.
DUDE FUCK YOU CATCHER IN THE RYE IS MY FAVORITE BOOK AND I LIKED HOLDEN
lol - refer to point three again
lol - refer to SUCK MY DICK
sugar honey girl - calm down sweetheart. So people don’t like Catcher in the Rye and tend to associate fans of the novel with douchebags. What are you going to do? There are way more important things to get your knickers in a twist about. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Avatar: Game Changers Don’t Come from the Top. They Come Out of Nowhere.
I have not seen Avatar. Few have. Yet I keep reading these stories about it being a game changer that will revolutionize the industry. I have not seen Avatar, but I am fairly certain that it will not change anything.
Avatar is a big, expensive dinosaur of a movie in an era where major studios have less pull and less reach than they ever did before. It’s a huge financial gamble that depends on a world that no longer exists, where audiences are uninformed and choices are severely limited. It depends on the one-time spectacle of new, never-before-seen technology and effects.
Avatar is the polar opposite of the forces that are actually changing all types of media. It costs way too much, takes way too long to produce, and is still ultimately dependent on a massive marketing budget that forces it upon the public. It’s a business model that cannon sustain itself in the long term and frequently fails even in the short term.
Of course, Avatar may very well be a huge success. And it might be a fine film. But it won’t change much of anything. Powerful filmmakers securing massive budgets, using the latest technology and forcing their films on the public is par for the course. Game changers don’t come from the top. They come out of nowhere.
GAME CHANGERS YUK YUK YUK.
I disagree with this thesis because the underlying facts are erroneous and the argument a fallacy. James Cameron’s terribly expensive and obsessively-crafted movies are anything but traditional Hollywood products. Most directors would never get the freedom and the budget that he insists upon; and in the past, he’s made big bets to get that freedom/budget, bets that no sane person would take upon himself/herself. In the movie industry, James Cameron is very much a man from nowhere.
O WAIT IT CAN’T BE GOOD IF IT DIDN’T COME FROM FOUR BEARDED 23-YEAR-OLDS IN A BROOKLYN LOFT, WITH AN HD CAM AND A DREAM (AND A TWEE SOUNDTRACK). WES ANDERSON 4 LIFE!
Rebloged for the delightful derision dripping from the words in bold.
And now I have a Wes Anderson version of Avatar running around my head.
I understand the points made in the original argument/statement. But you can’t really have any validity if you haven’t seen the movie. I think the popularity of indie/non mainstream movies in recent years has really forced the big budget blockbusters to step up and serve something other than mindless dribble.
I walked into this movie half heartedly - expecting another James “Showy waste on money that could be spent on anything else” Cameron epic fail.
I was so wrong.
It was amazing, visually the movie is fucking stunning. I haven’t had felt that wow factor since when I saw the Wizard of Oz for the first time and dorothy walks out of her house into technicolor OZ.
There was little wank in the movie and the story was excellant. I think I might go see it again tomorrow

Dear Sierra,
Hello. You’re right about me not following you for long.. In all respect, do you not feel the slightest bit guilty after making fun of someone? I know I would & I do. I’m not going to call you a “fugly slut” or “stupid” or any other negative thing. I’m only pointing out :; Would you not feel abit.. idk, hurt. If someone was making fun of you? :/
Sierra doesn’t get butthurt on the Internet over somebody telling her the truth and saying she’s a fucking whore who deserves to burn in the deepest circle of Hell for all eternity.
What about irl, does she get hurt then? Not even guilty? O_O I don’t want to be mean to her ‘cause i don’t even know the girl, but her posts are just nasty as hell. Oh, how so? Why do so many people not like her, has she like.. done a post about everyone on tumblr? Whut a bitch. :/
I’m not going to call you a “fugly slut” or “stupid” or any other negative thing.
Whut a bitch.I’m not going to call you a “fugly slut” or “stupid” or any other negative thing.

Just hit that shiny unfollow button - there are more than enough dickheads on here who make you want to insert needles under your nails, that you dont agree with and more than likely will never change.
Personally I thought she was awesome
You make me face palm like I’ve never face palmed before
Please stop being a fucking idiot
Look at my horse - My Horse is Amazing
Murrmurr: Could you ever go out in a committed, long-term relationship with a religous person? I.E., does not want sex before marriage, believes in the creationist theory, goes to church every sunday…
I don’t think so. Generally I can have respect for people who are super-religious until it starts touching my life on a regular basis - and even when I’m displaying that respect, there’s a part of me thinking they’re a blind idiot. I went out with a girl for two years who didn’t want sex before marriage and “I strongly believe that it was eventually this lack of intimacy that tore us apart.”
Finally, somebody who was that strong a Christian would believe that I, as an atheist, would be damned to an eternity in Hell, or at the very least, purgatory. I don’t believe in Hell, but it’s not so much what I think, it’s what they think - whilst they might think I’m a great person, if they still believed I’m damned, then I don’t think I could be with them.
So, no.
I think thats harsh. I’m not religious, I never practised abstaining from sex before marriage for any reason - reilgious, personal or cultural.
However I think that if you believe that intimacy or the majority of intimacy will come from sex - your relationships will ultimately and more than likely fail.
Sex can be intimate, but based on the existance of one night stands, casual flings etc it’s definatly something that can not.
Intimacy is someone remembering how you take your tea, pulling the blankets over you when your sick because you’ve kicked them off, hugs, personal jokes, holding hands, dancing in the kitchen, being carried to bed when you pass out on the couch, the person who brings you a bucket and some aspro clear and sits there while you chuck and laughs at you when you say “I’ll never drink again” and laughs even harder when you crack open a beer two days later.
And as much as I can’t beleive I’m going to say this.
Intimacy is the shit that makes sex that much better. Not the other way around.
