I have a 40 page research report due in two weeks.
The amount of dumb ****s in my school.
There are just too many teens criticizing me for loving classic movies rather than newer ones. I can't believe they are too stupid to see what influenced the films they are watching.
Whoever is criticizing you for your taste in film is a complete jackass and should not be allowed to be a part of society. Have they never heard that other people can have different likes and dislikes than themselves? Ugh. Don't worry about what those people say... Classic movies are great and like you said without them we wouldn't have some of the movies we have today.
What's really pissing me off right now is...
1) Nearly all of my friends think I'm stupid... A few of them like to make jokes about my intelligence. Just because I don't turn in all of my assignments, I procrastinate and I joke around a lot of times (I'm known as the class clown sometimes) does NOT mean I'm stupid! I'm at a school for gifted and talented students, obviously I'm not an idiot! UGH! I make better grades than some of them, too. But it's also that they think grades define intelligence... Which they don't.
2) This kid at my school won "best personality" even though he has one of the worst personalities I've ever come across. His response to everything he doesn't like is "Bro, that's gay" (not in a sarcastic manner either), he disrespects girls all of the time, is mean to those he thinks are inferior--he's horrible. And not to mention that today in class he told one of my friends that I was a "dumb *****" while I was home sick. Great.
Everything that's making you mad, is what makes me mad all the time. When I am done with my school work, I turn my phone on and I watch these classic movies, and these idiots would just go up to me and say "I'm telling the teacher you're watching porn in school!" or "Why are you watching a movie that sucks?! It's black-and-white, and it's silent, so it's ****!" and even "All movies should be in English." That pisses me off every day. These people are just idiots. They think of me as the stupid person all the time. Such as that time when I watched the Japanese movie "Ran," they would think it's pronounced like "I ran all the way here!" without even thinking about a different language. And that time I brought in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" to discuss it with my media arts teacher. One kid took a look at it and went all "This movie sucks! Fast & Furious 6 is a thousand times better than all your classic films." I even wrote an article about this for all the teachers, he stole it, and then went all "Yeah, like classic movies influenced all the Fast & Furious movies." I can tell that what is going through his mind is that all the movies that influenced F&F must be action movies with explosions all the time. That's COMPLETELY wrong.
Another thing that makes me mad is how I'm being made fun of for writing a book in my spare time about the abuse I've been going through (like that I've just described) in my life. Now these guys have been doing it even more, because they think I write about every form of abuse and describe it, because they are being like those idiots who think they'll become famous if their name is in a newspaper or online blog.
I'm really sorry, you're going through a lot of stuff that you don't deserve. Have you tried talking to your principal about this? I know it may seem overkill but whenever I see somebody getting bullied I tell my favorite teacher and she always takes those things serious. Most of the time the bullies get in trouble. But I know from experience that sometimes tattling can make it worse... I hope that you never loose your passion for movies just because of those idiots, but I don't think that'll happen cause you seem to like them very much.Those uncultured bullies will hopefully get what's coming to them soon enough. Who knows, maybe you'll be a famous Hollywood director one day and they'll be working at McDonald's.
P.S: I checked out your list of favorite movies on IMDb... you have really good taste! Pulp Fiction, The Green Mile, Forrest Gump and E.T. are some of my favorites!
