PT Rethink Your Life: A New Hope - PT Social Thread

This is the image I currently use:


I'm still not quite sure what you mean by template.

 

This might work , i´ll be back to you if it worked or not

 

Cool, thanks for the help.

 

Ok, I have tried to fix the image and this seemed to work!

Here you go darkspine10


I just added black borders and this made it the correct size and also view more of the image.

 

Thanks for the help CIS Droid and Moll, it has finally worked.

 

Which thread?

 

Probably the Homosexuality thread, where Seagoat was criticised for identifying as Pansexual.

Apparently, he should fit more easily into one of the other brackets.

 

Lol don't let this statement escape RYL, but

Man, some people on these forums can be asses

 

Dags, you may have run across this already, but here's what Kubrick had to say in his 1968 interview with Playboy magazine about the issue of meaning in 2001....sorry I don't have the original URL link for where I got this text anymore, but I can vouch it is from the original interview (which is still available in full text on the web in various places but I didn't have time to search for a link)

Spoiler: excerpt from Kubrick interview

PLAYBOY:Much of the controversy surrounding 2001 deals with the meaning of the metaphysical symbols that abound in the film—the polished black monoliths, the orbital conjunction of earth, moon and sun at each stage of the monoliths' intervention in human destiny, the stunning final kaleidoscopic maelstrom of time and space that engulfs the surviving astronaut and sets the stage for his rebirth as a "star child" drifting toward earth in a translucent placenta. . . . What was the metaphysical message of 2001?

STANLEY KUBRICK:It's not a message that I ever intend to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience; out of two hours and 19 minutes of film, there are only a little less than 40 minutes of dialog. I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. . . . I intended the film to be an intensely subjective experience that reaches the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just as music does; to "explain" a Beethoven symphony would be to emasculate it by erecting an artificial barrier between conception and appreciation. You're free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film—and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level—but I don't want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he's missed the point. I think that if 2001 succeeds at all, it is in reaching a wide spectrum of people who would not often give a thought to man's destiny, his role in the cosmos and his relationship to higher forms of life. But even in the case of someone who is highly intelligent, certain ideas found in 2001 would, if presented as abstractions, fall rather lifelessly and be automatically assigned to pat intellectual categories; experienced in a moving visual and emotional context, however, they can resonate within the deepest fibers of one's being.

PLAYBOY: Without laying out a philosophical road map for the viewer, can you tell us your own interpretation of the meaning of the film?

STANLEY KUBRICK:No, for the reasons I've already given. How much would we appreciate La Gioconda [the painting Mona Lisa] today if Leonardo had written at the bottom of the canvas: "This lady is smiling slightly because she has rotten teeth"—or "because she's hiding a secret from her lover"? It would shut off the viewer's appreciation and shackle him to a "reality" other than his own. I don't want that to happen to 2001.

Of course, Kubrick's position on this issue hasn't stopped TONS of scholars and critics from offering their various interpretations of the film (many of which I find very interesting to read and consider myself), but I thought you might find his comments interesting if you haven't already come across them....

Rogue One in less than a week!




I cannot wait. So far I have one other person going with me at midnight and a possible maybe.


What's the rules on posting stuff for it? Is that too much ^. I don't want to ruin it for someone.

 

but El...you're missing all the beginning "BA's" there.....

 

I'm beginning my TPM watch in 10 minutes. I'm starting so early so that I can go to bed at a reasonable time.

 

I salute you! (imagine that emoticon as a podracing flag instead lol)

I considered the idea of trying to attend the complete 6-film pre-TFA marathon at my local theater last year, but it started too early (like 1:00 a.m.), so I chickened out...

they should run the whole marathon at every Celebration!

 

or was your post an extended "adieu" (or "adios" in your case lol) to the fall semester...as in a reference to this song:

 

TPM begins now.

See you in 6 hours and 40 minutes or so.

 

OMG Padme's hangar?


SPOILED!!!!!! and RUINED!!!!!

 

Well, let's put it this way
Some people in this world are like sand

SW talk section though (where I spend 99.99% of my forum time), RYL especially, is soft and smooth

 

One of the reasons I'm glad I found this thread; was getting tired of all the bitchin' and arguments elsewhere. We've carved something nice and special here.

 

Seagoat Holy crap bro. I just went into that thread and saw everyone jump on you for stating you're pansexual. One poster especially. It also looks like 2 more came to criticize. Jesus. I can't stand the Community tbh. They have great intentions, but it's usually full of self-righteous "I'm better, smarter more aware than you could ever dream to be"- type posters.

 

Since it's snowing here, I figured it would be a perfect time to watch The Shining!

btw, this guy is Snoke.
