Edito-Blog: More than Words http://qssblog.net/article/1514/edito-blog-more-than-words/ http://qssblog.net/article/1514/edito-blog-more-than-words/#comments Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:11:54 +0000 Arnprior http://qssblog.net/?p=1514 Here’s a thought that’s been nagging me in the back of the head for a while, which a very persuasive lady recently convinced me to speak my mind about. After all, it DOES pertain to freedom of speech, and so should I feel completely free to talk about it.

Like most members of our community, I’ve dwelled on other forums and message boards before and since registering on QSS. It always seemed to me though that QSS is quite different than other sites in that personal attacks and general nastiness are far less rampant than elsewhere, hence my involvement in this forum as opposed to others. Some say that it’s because there’s much less freedom of speech on QSS, which I disagree: I found myself writing things I never would have elsewhere and did so without a hitch, because it wasn’t a personal attack nor overtly offensive. I would hope that bad attitudes are lesser in our community because its members are quite simply civil.

Still, even in QSS, I keep bumping into attitudes and expressions that are offensive to the point of literally making me sick, and sadly, I get sick increasingly often. Case in point, in the last 7 days I read the word “Retard” a whopping 5 times on the forum. As a father of two autistic children who never did anything to anyone and surely didn’t ask to be special, that’s just a stab to the heart. Even moreso when it’s allowed to be perpetrated repeatedly. Every time I read “What a retard”, what’s actually being said is “Look, that’s exactly like Arn’s freaky kids who are too stupid to talk, and walk like they have a broom up their ass and will never be able to have a job or get married or put on their own socks”.

Of course, I’m using that one word as an example since it’s the one I spot the most. Having special children is a little bit like buying a new car; with the car you think everyone’s got one so much you spot them on the road, and with special kids everyone seems to look at you funny everywhere you go… Point is, there are probably dozens of such slurs generously sprinkled around like doesn’t matter, and to the particular sprinkler it effectively doesn’t; those little slurs and expressions are sometimes anchored to deeply in pop culture in general that we just don’t really care it might actually be hurtful to the extreme. Some might not even care KNOWING that it is.

Freedom of speech is one thing, but should it really encompass the right to say anything at all without a shred of regard to morality and decency? Shouldn’t the freedom of one be weary of where the freedom of others begins? At the very least I feel I should be able to roam the QSS forum without seeing my children’s condition used to describe blatant and voluntary stupidity. Right?

 I’m guessing at I’m not entirely paranoid on the issue though, since someone posted an even more eloquent ode to THAT word on our dear beloved QSS forum. Here is my friend PEGGS, in her own words (which, truth be told, I support to the Nth degree).

 

This word has been used by a few people at QSS. Wich we have the right to freedom of speech last time i checked. But there is so many words that can be used insted of the word that has been surficing alot in the past and now in the future, here at qss. There are people that are contributers that have autistic children and you know what that is one word we here on a day to day basis. My son has Asburgers wich is social development he has trouble interacting with other children. It is hard i guess you just have to be in your my shoes because sometimes i sneak to the school and watch him at lunch and recess and you know what it breaks a moms heart to see your sun off playing by himself and children pointing at him and some even have the gaul od laughing. He is soon to be 12 he should be out playing with kids his own age and ridind bikes but you know what the only time he plays with kids is when i dish out a couple of hundred dollars to throw a birthday party so that he can hang out with the kids from his class.
So this is peggs one of the contributers here at qss saying please stop using the word that some of us hear on a day to day basis that discribes our children. One more thing if you are not already sick of readin this Autistic children are like any child just a little more unique.

Oh and for those who are having a blond day the word is Retarded.

Review Board: Drag my Hangover to the Museum http://qssblog.net/article/1504/review-board-2nd-week-of-june/ http://qssblog.net/article/1504/review-board-2nd-week-of-june/#comments Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:34:09 +0000 Arnprior http://qssblog.net/?p=1504 qss-review-board

 

It’s been two weeks since the Blog’s Review Board roamed QSS to bring you the finest in movie opinions, so we opened the flood gates and allowed a few of the recently-released movies to be opinionated on in here. If it made you want to watch them, well good – that’s what QSS was built for. If you watched them and feel like throwing tomatoes at someone, well good – That’s what we have Rowanaboat for….

 

 

Night at the Museum 2: Electric Boogaloo

Ben Stiller’s agent must be the luckiest mofo on earth. He convinces his star to sign on a film that even Mike Myers wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole, and the damn thing is so popular the studio gave it a $150M sequel. AND stiller got to star alongside Amy Adams. Maybe STILLER is the lucky guy after all… Here’s what some of us thought of it.

 

From TerriKhali:

IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD! If you liked the 1st one, this one might even be BETTER!
So many laughs, what an EXCELLENT movie, for ALL AGES!!!!!!!!
Loved it!
Thank you EVERYONE that has kept the links coming!

From Ryder:

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the sequel but I found myself laughing through out the whole thing. In the beginning credits I kept thinking one of them was going to get broken, lol.

 

From Glacier 2000:

very nice! fantastic special effects!!

 

From Ladyhawk:

just finished watching it and really enjoyed it. Had the funny, slapstick humor and all the bells and whistles from the first one - only more. The guy from Superbad and Ben Stiller had fabulous chemistry. We were laughing out loud.

 

 

 

Drag me to Hell

Sam Raimi’s return to the Horror genre was highly anticipated by film geeks like yours truly, and although the reviews are mixed, one thing’s for sure: It washes off that bad Spider-Man 3 lingering aftertaste.

 

From my favourite Dark-Roomie Urbangiggles:

I saw this on Friday at the theaters and I just could not help it. I honestly wanted to sit in my seat and wait until the next showing. This movie is so good. I have been waiting for a horror movie to be this good for a while. I just want to say, finally a good horror movie comes out here in America that we did not take from the Asians and.or remake from the 70s. I was waiting for the originality and I got it. Sam Raimi has redeemed himself from the lackluster Spiderman 3. I also heard that an Evil Dead 4 is in the works, so I am also really, really excited about that. Raimi is back people! I know some people won’t like it, but I love horror movies and this had everything I could ask for. Thank you Sam Raimi for coming back to what you do best, making kickass horror movies!

 

From D34DT0Y:

I really enjoy this movie! It definitely was back to Sam Raimi horror. A lot of scenes reminded me of the over-the-top stuff that Evil Dead had. I was also glad to see that not only did his car make a cameo, but it was in the movie so much I think it was one of the lead actors.  

From Winnie1:

finally watch, not as good as i expect, although it has killer ending. worth watching 

From dadsarmy

It was ok,rani’s evil dead scenes were partly in this film,but this film was not original,blatantly script was from night of the demon imdb

 

 

 

The Hangover

If it wasn’t for Bradley Cooper (the rumoured new Face Man -update: according to THIS REPORT from Joblo.com, Cooper is officially FaceMan) I wouldn’t have noticed that one, and ever since I did it seems everyone’s talking about it. Except on QSS – discussion was a little low, but still, one of us wrote in with an opinion.

 

From Henni112:

What a funny/great movie.
Messed up thing is I can relate a bit w/ this. Life is like a movie just with out the back ground music.

 

 

 

A few other “big” films opened in theatres recently, but thus far failed to generate much discussion, if any, among the QSS community. If you happened to have seen UP, Land of the Lost or any of this season’s blockbuster offerings, head on to the forum’s Discuss Movies section and let everyone share in your own reviews and opinions. They might very well be the subject of the Blog’s next Review Board.

 

Many of this year’s hotly anticipated films have already been on or even left the marquee, but the summer ain’t over yet! This week sees two widely different releases, each relatively anticipated. First, Denzel once again obliges Tony Scott in yet another Why-in-God’s-Name-Did-They remake, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (folks, just watch the original, a’ight?? Travolta has nothing on Robert Shaw, and Walter Matthau WAS old, instead of just looking it…). Then more interestingly is a movie that already has critics whispering AWARDS, the Sam Rockwell one-man-show titled simply Moon. Here’s what the IMDb has to say on both of them.

 

 

Moon


Director: Duncan Jones
Stars: Sam Rockwell (Full Cast)
Studio: Sony Pictures Classics

The Plot: Astronaut Sam Bell (Rockwell) has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet’s power problems.

 

THE BUZZ: Writer-director Duncan Jones is the son of David Bowie, but I swear: If anyone uses the term “space oddity” to describe this movie, I will petition to have their blog shut down. What this film really is: A wonderfully composed, thoughtful, even funny addition to the list of elite science-fiction films, which offers a major twist in its first act. A couple grumps have panned it — though high marks are always given to the look of the production — I would trust the opinions of two of the better bloggers in the game.

 

 

 

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

 

Director: Tony Scott
Stars: Denzel Washington, John Travolta (Full Cast)
Studio: Columbia Pictures

The Plot: Armed men hijack a New York City subway train, holding the passengers hostage in return for a ransom, and turning an ordinary day’s work for dispatcher Walter Garbe (Washington) into a face-off with the mastermind behind the crime (Travolta).

 

THE BUZZ: It’s Deja-Vu all over again as Scott and Denzel reunite for this remake of a remake. I can’t help but wonder if the hijackers in this version will still ask for one meeee-lee-ion dollars or if today’s New Yorkers would seriously sit in a subway car with these goons for an hour (even if one of ‘em looked like an aging Tony Manero). Somehow, I don’t think so.

THE DARK ROOM vol.5: You Never Know What You Gonna Get… http://qssblog.net/article/1475/the-dark-room-vol5-you-never-know-what-you-gonna-get/ http://qssblog.net/article/1475/the-dark-room-vol5-you-never-know-what-you-gonna-get/#comments Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:00:08 +0000 Arnprior http://qssblog.net/?p=1475 dark-room4  

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a great weekend. This week I am going over independent films that have been commented on quite a bit here on QSS. But even so, I know some of you may not have seen them and these movies are definitely worth the watch. Now enter with me into The Dark Room.

1st: Boy A (2007)  


Now this movie I said I was going to write an article about because people should watch. It is such an amazing film that really should have earned a lot of recognition.
The film starts off following a guy named Jack whom we instantly find out has been in big trouble, given that his parole officer (and father figure), Terry, has given him a new identity (which is Jack). The movie is told through a series of flashbacks mixed with the present. The flashbacks show Jack when he was younger, alongside his older brother, and slowly lay out what happened in Jack’s past that sent him to prison.
So Jack is out of jail and has a new identity, his next step is to start a life. This is where the movie takes on a nice coming-of-age theme. Since the kid was in jail most of his life, you now get to see how he adjusts to the outside world. He gets a job, he becomes good friends with a guy at work, and he falls for a girl who also works with him. All is well, but not all things can stay hidden. His secret gets revealed and he does not know how it happened or by who.
This movie is just nothing short of good. Filled with mystery and suspense, it keeps you intrigued as you want to know what Jack and his brother did, you want to know who found out about it and you want to know what is going to happen to him. I absolutely love British cinema and this movie has got to be one of my favorites. There is really nothing more I should say, I urge you to enjoy
Watch here: Boy A

2nd: Chocolat (2000)
 
This is such a sweet little movie. It is full of wonderful actors and actresses, for instance two among my favorites, Juliette Binoche and (my imaginary husband) Johnny Depp. It is funny, dramatic, and just all around, a good movie.

Chocolat follows a womanm Vianne (Binoche), and her daughter after they move to a small town in France. Vianne opens up a chocolate shop there that soon becomes the talk of the town. But not everyone is a fan of her rising popularity. Vianne is quickly taken on by the town’s mayor (Alfred Molina) who wants to close her shop which goes against every principle of religion and moality long withheld in the village by his family.
Now even though there are some that don’t like her growing chocolate business, her lovable personality becomes infectious towards the townspeople. She then becomes friends with a woman named Josephine who is running away from her abusive husband. With this growing friendship and the shop, all things are going good even though some are against them. Vianne then meets a group of drifters, one of which Vianne takes a liking to (Depp) and this sends some of the already opposing townspeople into more dismay. See how it all unravels.
This is a good movie but it is not for everyone. Not everyone enjoys simple romantic little gems, I am not much for it either, but I did like THIS movie. It is well acted and full of faces that we know and love. You wonder whether the mayor and his followers will ever accept Vianne and her chocolate lovers and if she will keep her shop. It is worth a watch in my opinion. Enjoy.
Check out the romance here: Chocolat

3rd: My Life Without Me (2003)
 
This one’s another movie I discovered late at night while watching IFC. I did not know what to expect from it of course, but soon realized that it was a nice and refreshing story. It raises the question: What would you do if you knew you were going to die? Here is how it starts.

Ann is a 23 year old mother who lives in a trailer in her mother’s backyard, with her husband and two little girls. She works as a janitor in a school and her husband is a builder. They live a simple, happy little life. One day though, Ann does not feel that well and she thinks she may be pregnant again. She goes to the hospital and her news is not what she was expecting it to be. She finds out she has terminal cancer, which gives her only two more months to live.
After finding out though, Ann does not break the news to anyone, especially her husband and kids. And since she knows there is no way out of her situation, she decides to make a list of things to do within her final months. This list includes making tapes for her daughters up until they are eighteen, about life and growing up. She also wants to know what it is like to be with another man besides her husband (the only man she has ever been with), and wants to try and find her husband a new wife.
This movie was just very beautiful, with a truly touching story and great acting. It is filled with all sorts of emotions, as you can tell. So what will come of Ann? Watch the film and find out.
Watch here: My Life Without Me

 

 

 So hope you all enjoy the films, please tell me what you think of any of them. Watch them before or after pissing your pants from The Hangover (watched it yesterday and it will definitely be a classic). So enjoy and see you again here at The Dark Room.

A special tribute for a special friend: To Hitme, from Peggs http://qssblog.net/article/1459/a-special-tribute-to-a-special-friend-to-hitme-from-peggs/ http://qssblog.net/article/1459/a-special-tribute-to-a-special-friend-to-hitme-from-peggs/#comments Sun, 07 Jun 2009 00:17:10 +0000 Arnprior http://qssblog.net/?p=1459 hitme2yearsthanks

Well everyone,

This is Peggs here telling you about the one boss anyone would be honoured to have.

 This man has been running QSS radio for 2 years straight, and if you ask me he is doing an amazing job. He has us laughing with his comedy and music taste sometimes, but what cracks most of us up if when he laughs: it just gets to us girls that tune in.

 He is an amazing contributor and an amazing person. He pops a joke in everywhere needed. This southern boy is 6′4, and a heart with room for everyone. He is like Peggs, everyone comes first before ourselves. He makes sure that the radio is always running and the forums are looked after. Chat is the one place where he can be himself with his friends and those dear to his heart. Spinning tunes and talking in chat is what hitme loves to do best.


There is one song that he enjoys soooo much, by Sonny James=Running Bear. I have to say if you have never heard it please listen to it, it grows on you. It is one of those songs if you knew hitme like most of us do, it suits him to a T.

He has a wide variety of music that he plays for all, and comedy for those people who just need a good laugh. My favorite part of hitme that I look forward to is when he makes fun of spammers in the QSS general discussion on the forums. Oh my god it just cracks me up.

 But I will keep this short. I have to say it has been the best year and a 1/2 of my life, Meeting hitme; he has been an amazing friend a phenomenal companion and all around mentor to me.

So Hitme, lots of love from your partner in crime at QSS Radio.

 

Sonny James - Running Bear

EDITOR’S PICK

Once more, our own overlord and editorial dictator-for-life steps in with his favorite thread of the week. And again, I must agree with him: it IS an important one. Here is Arnprior in his own word.

 

Hey Folks, Arnprior here.

Quite an Irony that I should be writing these lines just as Peggs is playing Video Killed the Radio Star, as this week saw a double celebration for our own QSS Radio star who seems to view himself as anything but.

On the very week that marked Hitmewitdarock’s celebrated 2 years with QSS Radio, the same gentlemen put the finishing touch to a brand new and quite exciting site for our favourite Pirate Radio people.

Our admiration and thanks go to you, hitme, for your devotion and humility in bringing us a constantly more entertaining radio yet refusing to take credit for it or put yourself on the pedestal. A lot of us forum dwellers could take a lesson from you.

For all your hard work, dedication, and general fun you bring to the whole community in many ways, I humbly give you the Blog’s Frog salute!

Arn

 

 

Thanks for reading catch ya next week
