Richard, thx for clarifying the name of the malady. Actually, as I was reading your comment, “hypochondriac” popped into my head before you wrote it. My advanced age is causing me to momentarily forget words.

It’s great that you’re commenting on past posts, because I like to think that the stuff we create has some value beyond the moment of its conception.

If you find intelligent life on Earth, please let me know.

“…would have added another adjective, but I can’t think of the word for a person who thinks he’s always suffering from a medical problem”

since it’s only been about a year since you posted this, i’d like to clarify that would be hypochondria. for some reason i like replying to things that have long become irrelevant. i think i’d like to be that guy that finds life in a place where no one thought life has existed for centuries.

[...] that would be outdone in episode two when Reed admits that his life is incomplete because he has never suffered from food poisoning. He [...]

“Henrik, Iâ€™m beginning to think you live on the Internet.”

I’m studying for exams so I don’t get out much.

Haha. Henrik, I’m beginning to think you live on the Internet. You’re like a good virus that’s infected FilmJunk, and has us constantly feeding you with content. I’m grateful for your constant attention. I can’t believe that you can’t (or haven’t made the effort to) find amusement and keep yourself busy at all the other Internet sites around the world. But I must admit that it is hard to find good sites that can consistently entertain me with content.

I think Jay wants to create more video content for FilmJunk, so Cantankerous may be relegated to a 2 episode run. Imagine if I keeled over with a brain aneurysm tomorrow? My opinions would be immortalized in 2 episodes of Cantankerous. Two episodes in which I never bothered to support my opinions with reasons or evidence.

“I do appreciate you explaining your concern and expressing your appreciation for whatever I contribute to FilmJunk.”

Whatever it is, we need some more of it. In audio.

Yeah, I hate meanness altogether, although we’re all guilty of inadvertent meanness. Actually, I can be mean as a reaction to someone else’s meanness. But sometimes I’m mean because I like to hurt people I don’t like for whatever ill-conceived reason. Yeah, I hate myself.

People say the Internet makes it really easy to be mean to people, because it’s easy to be mean to someone that you’re not face to face with. (Granted, some people have no problem being mean to someone face to face.) “Cyber bullying” seems to be in the news a lot.

Frankly, it’s easy for me to ignore negative comments on FilmJunk directed towards me. My head does get bloated when I get compliments though, but Jay is quick to deflate my ego.

So, Drew, it never occurred to me that you were being mean to me. I do appreciate you explaining your concern and expressing your appreciation for whatever I contribute to FilmJunk.

“I do hate racism, because Iâ€™ve been a victim of it. I also hate people who are mean to other people of their own race”

So pretty much you just hate meanness all together.

P.S. I hope I don’t come off as being mean myself reed, i’m one of your biggest fans.

I’m a racist in the sense that I hate all human races. That is, I’m a misanthropist.

I do hate racism, because I’ve been a victim of it. I also hate people who are mean to other people of their own race.

Drew, I wouldn’t be offended if someone said Asians should eat more vegetables. I’ll even say that Asians are generally bad drivers. Perhaps I should I have said that people living in Mexico should try eating cactus because a lot of cactus can be found in Mexico.

I think people should acknowledge that there are differences between races as well as differences between men and women.
