I did not say anything

Quentin and Rodriguez can be regarded as two strange men in the cult film industry. I always seem to like Quentin better. I always think Quentin’s logic is more fun, but if you think about it carefully, how can there be any logic in cult movies? Hasn't it been breasts, thighs, brains and eyeballs for decades? Although the subject matter and form of expression are so scarce, Quentin and Rodriguez are still earning a lot in the director world. Think about it, if a director makes a lackluster romance or drama, the audience will be angry and feel that they have been insulted to their IQ, but if the director makes an equally lackluster cult film, the audience may still be angry. , But because there are breasts, thighs, brains and eyeballs, the lack of faults can basically be offset by more than 75%.

What is this indicating? This shows that men all over the world want to look at their breasts and thighs, while angry youths all over the world need to look at their brains and eyeballs.

I watched Rodriguez’s "Machete" yesterday afternoon. After watching the film, I went to participate in an interview for a signing ceremony. After the event, I walked on the street for about half an hour. It's dark, and there is a lot of wind, and the sand is floating in the sky, but I just don’t want to take a taxi. I always feel like I have my hands in my pockets. I only wait for the flying saucer to fall from the sky, the sand and the rocks, I can draw a pair of bends from my back or pocket. The sword came, and from then on, the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha, and the devil blocked and killed the demon.

Half an hour later, I discovered that there were flying sand and rocks, but the Buddha and the devil were too lazy to pay attention to me, the flying saucer did not come, and I was too cold.

This is the so-called "movie poisoning", right? I deeply reflect: When I was young, I didn't become an angry youth. Why would I be poisoned by watching a cult movie now?

In the past, I was too lazy to care about many things. For example, I asked for an invoice after eating in a restaurant. The waiter smiled sweetly and said, "I'm sorry that the invoice is used up today. You can collect it next time you eat." Although I also know that the probability of coming to eat next time is very small, and I won't make another trip for the invoice, but forget it, pay and leave.

Another example: I ordered a book on amazon.cn, three days after the "estimated delivery time", I called to the customer service, and the operator girl smiled sweetly and said, "I'm sorry for our negligence, but we can't help it." . "Although I also know how there can be no way? But, forget it, when do you want to send it.

Another example: I was driving on a very narrow one-way street, and an unruly car came and confronted me head-on. Although I knew it was him who was going retrograde, but, forget it, let him go ahead.

I don't know if I used to be like the "silent lamb" or the "spectator" that Lu Xun hates most, but I'm just used to not worrying about it. Later, I went to Singapore, a small place, and I was aggrieved every time I came back. Why in such a small country with no history, no culture, no big things, no one needs to make mistakes because of these unruly people or things. , And here we have a splendid civilization in the celestial dynasty for five thousand years, but we have to gain a disadvantage in the process of dealing with some people who have no rules and no moral bottom line?

Sometimes I get annoyed by the saying "the invoice is used up", and I smiled and said to the waiter: "Okay, you don't have an invoice, right? Then I can call 12315 to complain to you?" The invoice is 1 minute later. It grew out of the ground.

Or I'm bothered by the saying "but we can't solve it", I will just repeat the steps from "order" to "confirmation" to "estimated delivery time", and then quite a bit. Tell the operator in an imposing manner: "Let your manager call me back! If the manager doesn't reply to me within 20 minutes, I will complain to you. I can handle it myself! (hang up)". Within 20 minutes, the manager called and said that the express delivery was to me on the same day, and the express delivery fee was waived.

Or, yesterday, I was blocked by a retrograde car on a one-way street again, and the man sitting in the opposite car, the co-pilot who was still very bored smiled at me, saying "I won't back up, let's see who consumes it." "Who can get it" expression. So the girl went crazy, and I slammed the door and got out of the car and walked to the unscrupulous driver to teach: "This is a one-way street, do you know? I don’t understand the traffic rules. What roads do you go on and wander around in the community will not be over? I told you There is a camera in front of you. You deserve to pay the traffic police for year-end benefits when you were filmed. You must let me go first when you reverse the car!" The driver honestly reversed the car.

Hey, do you think it's easy to be a woman these years? Even if you don't enjoy the courtesy of gentlemen, you have to sacrifice your ladylike demeanor for these bad people, and I just want to maintain my most legitimate power.

This is probably the full expression of my "angry youth" now, and all the details of my life have been filled with too many false and ineffective people or things. I can give strength occasionally, but those who do not do so are always like revolutionary martyrs. What good is it for me to be angry and youthful?

Quentin and Rodriguez are rich and powerful. They just enjoy making cult movies. We have no money and no power. We can only make up for our sturdy appearance after watching the cult movies. Maybe everyone has a pair of scimitars in their hearts (note: "in the heart", not "in the hands"), and fantasizes (note: "fantasy", not "preparation") at any time. But I still choose not to worry about it most of the time. I still give up my seat to the young, sick, and pregnant when I take the bus. I still throw a few tickets when I see a beggar on the road. If negative morality is also morality, then I am definitely a very moral person.
