"Is this a true story?" - girl in the row behind me at the end of 'The Other Boleyn Girl'


My No 1 Fan: haha. women.
haha they were all fixated on scarlett's breasts :)

A: Obviously its true - henry 7 is well known for his 7 wives.

B: Did you stand up and turn to tell her that It's based on the life of natalie portman?

C: If you ask me about whether death note is a true story i'll be able to answer that


Someone: not everyone brainy like you maaaah

how would anyone who is new to the story know otherwise?

does it say right at the beginning of the show that it was based on historical fiction?

did it have magic and spells and whatnot that would immediately disqualify it from being actual history ?

Me: no notice about historical fiction
but this is quite a famous part of history lor

no magic and spells
pfft

Someone: not famous enough for the girl sitting behind you, and not famous enough for me.

it's like if i faulted you for not knowing the henri cartier bresson incident at flickr

Me: so if I showed you pearl harbour and you didn't know it was based on history I wouldn't be able to fault you lah

Someone: yup

Me: if LKY's memoirs were made into a movie and people didn't know the movie was based on history you couldn't fault them

Someone: yes

Me: ..

Someone: what would it take for you to understand that different people have different experiences ?

what more would it then take for you to respect that ?

if that is too much to ask of you, don't answer.

Me: if everyone is right, then everyone is also wrong

Someone: what. ever.

Me: when did you last call someone stupid?

Someone: i can't remember. I have called many, many people rude though.

Me: when did you last say someone was wrong?

Someone: not since i got to know you, gabe.

Me: hurrah
we are all right

Someone: whatever you want to tell yourself to make yourself feel better.

you're an ass, and you know it.

Me: better an ass than a relativist

Someone: so are you gonna call me stupid if i told you i don't know what that is ?

Me: the bar for 'relativist' is higher than the bar for king henry viii
which in turn is higher than the bar for pearl harbour (which is arguably around the same level as for LKY's memoirs)

but they're probably all on the same level to you
like someone being dumb enough to eat shit
