Pet Peeves

[Wench On A Leash]

All these movie remakes are starting to get on my nerves.What?....is Hollywood so out of ideas that they can only copy old classics?

That annoys me too.


Another thing that annoys me, when directors always have the same actors in their movies. For example, Martin Scorsece (sp) and Leonardo DiCaprio. I seriously haven't seen a DiCaprio movie since Gangs of New York, I don't find his acting to be very believable, even though I've been told that I'm wrong and should watch some of his more recent stuff.

And... although it pains me to say it, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. I absolutely love Johnny Depp, but it's not fun to see him play the same zaney character over and over again... (Sleepy Hollow, The Corpse Bride, Willy Wonka *remake for you there, killjoy*, and now the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland?) I mean, he's definitely good at playing those kinds of characters, but he's so talented that he can do way better. But that doesn't annoy me nearly as much as Helena Bonham Carter always being in Burton's films does. It makes sense since they're dating or married or whatever, but seriously? Seriously? I didn't like her in Sweeney Todd, she sang so softly I could hardly understand what she was saying.

That sounds a lot like John Carpenter's early work.Don't get me wrong I love his work......Halloween..The Fog(the 0riginal not that god awful remake)....but he has the same people in all his early stuff.

Kinda like John Waters with Molly Ringwald. Only back in the 80s, it didn't annoy me so much.

Yeah that kind of bothers me too. But then Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are supposed to be really good friends and they do make some good movies together. I will agree with you on the Helena Bonham Carter thing though. It seems whack that the only reason she's in his movies is because they're dating.


One thing that has always bothered me...
You know in the 1st Harry Potter movie? When Hermione says "I read about it in Hogwarts, A History" her pause is abnormally long. It's like "Hogwarts... ... ... a history."

Okay, here's something to gripe about: Technology. I swear, my computer is the one thing in this world that both frazzles me and bedazzles me more than anything else. It actually works pretty well, but the other day, I couldn't get it to turn on with the battery, and I freaked out. I called Tech Support because I get really panicked and find myself incapable of rational thought when something goes wrong with my computer, and they stupidly told me that I was going to have to do a complete system restoration and that any files that weren't backed up on disk were going to be lost. I hung up on them, dissatisfied, and brought my computer into the Geek Squad guys at Best Buy (aka: the hottest and most helpful men on the planet). They took out the battery and told me I had to get a new one and just rely solely on the power cord for awhile. No big deal.

So maybe it's not technology that pisses me off so much as it is the Tech Support people I called.

Another pet peeve, teachers who give you their e-mail address to get in contact with them or to be able to send an assignment to them but they don't bother to e-mail you back. A few months ago a teacher hadn't handed back a paper I that I sent in through e-mail, so after class I went up and talked to him and he said he'd look for it and to e-mail a couple days later.

So I waited and made sure I had another copy of the paper I could send if he couldn't find the other one. About 3 days later I e-mailed him and asked if he found it, if not I could send him another copy. I waited for three days for him to get back to me but he never did. So I finally had to call and he said 'oh yea I found it'. Why give out your e-mail if you're not going to use it?

I have to say I have exactly the same problem, my tutor is no help at all. I emailed him for some help...what did I get....

No response.

Exactly. It just pisses me off.

Have we gone over clinginess? Because if we haven't, I'd like to add it. If we have, I'd like to reiterate it.

The most thing that bother's me is Mind Games.

I hate Mind Games with a passion.

The person knows what they mean when they say something else in their words, it has a completely different meaning to it when you look it up closely, They say something and mean something else which isn't very nice at all.

And they try to cover it up with lame pathetic excuses when you just know what is really going on. Why lie?

I also dislike fakeness to a great extent, I think I've mentioned that before. I hate snobby people and I had enough of those who think they can worm their way into situations and get away with things after causing a lot of trouble.

No. Lol.

I also don't like people who say they want to say something to you but then they don't and completetly mess you about and waste your time for nothing. What was the point of bringing it up in the first place lol??

Why do I dislike those things?

Because it's a complete waste of time and only causes anger, confusion and pain.

That's why.

But I'm in a happy mood today! Smart enough not to let those shitty things bother me for long.
