This blog will present news items about the motion picture business, with emphasis on lower budget, independent film in most cases. Some reviews or commentaries on specific films, with emphasis on significance (artistic or political) or comparison, are presented. Note: No one pays me for these reviews; they are not "endorsements"! Starting in May 2016, many of the reviews for new feature films have been done on a hosted Wordpress site, and this blog now mostly does shorts and older films.
Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!
Brainy Dose presents “People Who Like to Be Alone Have These
12 Special Personality Traits”.
In “Smallville”, the teen Clark Kent would say, “I’m
different, I’m not special”.
But Clark was an introvert in the best sense.
I have to say that the first of these films has plenty of appealing looking young men in the mold of the stereotype of "cis gay men", an ideal of the past.
Beastie has a similar film, actually longer, “The 11 Unique
Personality Traits”.
Beastie also adds three traits of extroverts.
If a journalist likes to jump out of planes sometimes, he
could still be someone who works alone a lot.
If a waiter in a gay bar talks
about doing base jumps and can actually do them, he’s likely to be more extroverted.
I matched up well with most of this, but I don’t have
emotional sympathy for disadvantaged people, but I do understand their predicament.But it is a somewhat distanced, measured
understanding, about privilege or the lack thereof. It isn’t quite the same as trading places or
true “skin in the game”. Time is very important to me. I value independence.I related to cats more than dogs, and cats
like me. Moral compass can be very
nuanced indeed.
Economic Invincibility, John Fish, and Tim Pool, as Youtube channel
owners, all fit into this category.Fish
has discussed this openly. Jordan Peterson is the senior person of this
personality type.(You can name others,
and yes, people think they are on the right, like Sargon of Akaad.They absolutely do not support supremacy.)
They all tend so be somewhat conservative, at least as far as resisting the
ideas of tribalism or group rights or reparations. You could call them
anti-tribalists. The alt-right and far
Left seem to be populated by conventional tribalists and “extroverts”. The most infamous is orange man.
Todd Grande has videos on schizoid and avoidant personalities,
and high functioning autism (Aspergers), all of which mix with introversion for
various reasons.
The far Left is trying to force everyone to see themselves through "intersectional groups" and join causes and take on personal challenges dictated by others, as an ideological goal. There is this idea that "victims" based on group-membership are "not good enough" to be worthy of one's potential attention for friendship.
Remember, though, "Carousel" ends with "You'll Never Walk Alone".
