You know, this old shit had a fucking amazing life. He literally found the love of his life as a child and spent it with her. I honestly can't find much reason to be sad for him, age is universal and death is a part of life.
I'm sure most of you losers haven't even kissed a girl before so feeling sorry for him is not something you should be feeling.
Also, he had a flying fucking house. I'm pretty sure 96% of all people on the planet had a shittier life than him.
your argument is retarded, not really even an argument, and really not worth bringing up.
And yet, his life was better than yours ever will be.
He was a fucking chad and I¿m glad he suffered if a little
daily reminder that Ed Asner is a hardcore 9/11 truther
>comparing ones life to a fictional character
okay
Nice trips, lad.
And yeah, imagine spending 90% of your life with the person you love the most. I bet he banged her every day.
>that being a problem
>on fucking Sup Forums
okay
???
Okay, so by that same logic, everyone's life sucks, compared to fucking Richie Rich, or Superman
Congrats on an astounding, eye opening, point.
“No high-rise has ever gone down by fire,” Asner explains. “Those buildings fell at the rate of gravity in ten seconds, flat.” He served up some more supposed “facts” as to why the buildings had to have been brought down by domestically planted explosives rather than internationally hateful terrorists. Carolla tried to debunk the conspiracy theory by asking why the surreptitious government of Asner’s mind, if it was so keen on instigating a war, didn’t go ahead and plant WMD in Iraq. “Because it wasn’t the same department of government,” Asner replied, chuckling at Carolla’s naiveté.
Asner continued:
My bottom line on all of this is that this country—which is the greatest, strongest country that ever existed in the world, in terms of power—supposedly had a defense that could not be penetrated all these years. But all of that was eradicated by nineteen Saudi Arabians, supposedly. Some of whom didn’t even know how to fly.
>comparing normal people to superman or an ultra rich dude
>as opposed to comparing normal people to a person who had a really good life that most people won't have but he also didn't have superpowers nor was he rich
Yeah, there's no difference there at all.
What I'm saying is, as far as average people's lives go, he had an incredible one. Yeah, no heat beams out of his eyes or golden toilets, but living most of your life with your soulmate from like the age of 7 is incredible and I'm mad jelly.
lol perfect reaction image boyo have a (YOU)
Did he actually chuckle?
he's a smart man
thanks
Yeah he did have it pretty good. Sure he had some ups and downs but finding the love of your life as a kid and spending time with them until you're old is what a lot of people only dream of.
>tfw approaching your 30's but haven't found the love of my life

the left-wing or right-wing kind?
Dude, the idea is to empathize with the character to join in his wonderful life. That's how to enjoy the film. You are deciding not to enjoy the film.
I enjoyed it the first I watched it, now I'm simply picking at it, I guess.
Honestly, the core of my argument is that I'm fucking jealous and that this old coot should be glad cause he lived an awesome goddamn life.
Relativism is a fucking blight on existence.
For me most of the sadness stems from the lack of children, he still had a great life but it must have been a big blow not being able to have children with the love of your life.
Honestly, I don't even really think it's a kids movie.
I mean, the old fart makes that construction guy literally bleed. That and the dead baby fetus are not something you'd put in a children's film.
He's also a hardcore champagne socialist
I married my soul mate, ornso I thought anyways. I'm questioning this as I met someone that I'm head over heels for. She lives in anouther country (yes she is real) and it's hurting realizing that I can't have her. If only we had found each other so many years ago.
Go for it.
If you truly believe she's the one then do it. Don't live your life with regrets.
Although if she's okay with knowingly cheating with you then she might not be all that trustworthy.
>average people
>flying your house to salto angel
>meet talking dogs
>steal an airship
>get in battle to the death with your childhood icon
Dude, just stop.
Dont be a fucking idiot
Love your wife
Go watch High Fidelity to put shit in perspective
Unless you meant before he took off, then yeah, I guess it wasn't too bad. Though it would suck not being able to conceive and getting skyscrapers built in your once quiet backyard.
That is what I meant, I was actually typing out a reply about that.
Although it's partly my fault.
You should also keep in mind that there was a promise to travel, find adventure and whatnot. We saw them trying to save up, but they kept getting fucked by life (car problems, house crushed by tree). And just as he gets the money for a trip his wife dies. That's where most of the tragedy comes from.
Why didn't they just adopt? I don't get it
Because they were fucking idiots. If that trip was so important they should've taken the bus or something.
>this fucking scene
Yeah, I'm sure kids were so entertained or had any idea what was going on.
This furthers my point that it's not a movie for kids.
Why did the villain not age at all despite being decades older than Ed Asner's character?
Also why did he want to kill the bird so badly instead of showing it to the world?
He's realized that nobody gives a fuck about him anymore and that he ruined his life pursuing that fucking bird.
were you retarded when you were an 8 year old or something?
is it really difficult for a kid to understand that a scene where they were literally painting a nursery followed by a scene with her crying in a doctor's office meant that they couldn't have kids?
No, but I've seen a lot of stupid fucking kids.
I swear people who thinks kids are retarded are at least mildly retarded themselves. Even if your memory is so bad that you've retained no childhood memories how can you have such little exposure to any children, even though tv
You can believe children are retarded whilst acknowledging that you were retarded as a child yourself. Do you know how much stupid shit I did as a kid?
Kids are really fucking retarded.
I remember this one kid from my childhood, he used to pull down his pants and slap his dick around, pretending to play it like a guitar.
He once found a used condom full of semen that he proceeded to slather all over his hands and then chase people around.
Fuckin hell.
Why did they smash the jars instead of just pouring the coins out?
All that money wasted on jars
Tbh most Syrians have flying houses
he went insane being alone for so long
It wasn't having it bad that gave him depression, it was the sudden absence of what made it good
>most of you losers haven't even kissed a girl
That's where you're wrong, niggo
I still don't know how this dumb kid's film got nominated for Best Picture.
Carl was literally committing suicide in this movie. What was his plan once he got his house to Paradise Falls? Assuming he arrived, nothing would work, he'd have no food, water, or power. He'd be in the middle of the damn jungle somewhere in South America. Best case scenario, he'd get down there, land the house successfully, and then what, leave it there and walk out of the jungle?
This movie was fucking dark.
Well, I mean, that's kind of what he figured out at the end? That he had an amazing adventure with the woman he loved even if they never did anything exciting, and that he still has the remainder of his life ahead of him? And that he shouldn't wallow in mourning any longer?
