You know, I get that it sucks to have the big tentpole blockbuster movie flash your life up for everyone.

But I'm having a hard time feeling that sorry for the movie people when us TV people basically get our lives screwed up every week. So, sorry movie folk. It sucks for you too, but TV people, here's to weekly torture fests. Literally, in a few cases here and there.

How often do comics come out? Like monthly, right? I guess your level of fucked up is closer to us, so Jason and other Roy and all, you get included too.

	You're so right. I'm dreading June 2nd, especially when there are already spoilers out there. Are they still technically spoilers if they're about your life? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, I could totally do without it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I apparently bought the fucking farm five seasons ago, so yeah. Two-sided sword. Get to go on living, but with constant reminder of failure. Awesome. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	So now you get to watch what happens in your world after you died. That sucks too, so I think it still counts as worse than a once every couple years kick in the face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably. Other circumstances withstanding, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	clearmyledger 2015-05-03 01:11 am UTC (link)
	Yes, that's it. Clearly your lives are worse than those of movie characters. Really, you must feel so much better now that you've made that clear. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Said it sucked for them too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, it all sucks. I'm certain they're grateful for your mention of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arsenalroy 2015-05-03 02:37 am UTC (link)
	I don't know, you seem pretty pissed, so they might be grateful if people are overreacting in general. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There is a way to avoid those weekly torture fests. It's called don't watch them. A hard concept to grasp, but there it is. Having your life for all to see on a weekly basis doesn't make your problems or lives worse or better than those with the movies. Stop trying to make everyone feel bad because they aren't thinking about your feelings when they are busy dealing with their own.

It doesn't matter how often any of it happens to any of us, it sucks no matter what. Get off your damn high horse, put your big boy pants on, and grow up.

	So you seem pissed? Didn't even mean watching it, I just meant it sucks getting it switched up every week. And I don't want anyone to feel bad, I said it sucked for the movie people too, but the TV types have shitty lives going on right now too, so I was just putting in for them too.

I'm not pissed. I'm annoyed. If I were pissed off, bucko, you would know.

Just because people are currently reacting to their lives being shown out there right now doesn't mean any of the weekly dramas are being pushed aside or forgotten. And even if they were, so what? That's there, not here.

If you didn't want anyone to feel bad, you wouldn't have brought up the comparisons in the first place. You're jumping on the pity party bandwagon when the fact of the matter is that pretty much everyone here is in the same damn boat, we all know it, and most of us are adult about it enough to not have to remind everyone of it. If that's what you want, fine. But at least own up to it.

	You do a pretty good impression. They can react, I don't care. They can be pissed off or sad. I was mostly feeling bad for the guy I know who found out who murdered his mom and stuff like it. So if comparing it made it seem like I was pissed at them or reminding of it, not what I meant, sorry. I'm kind of envious they only get one a year at most. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Neither side has it easy but I agree with you. The movies only come around every so often... or you're one and done depending on the movie... but shows and comics are torture on a monthly or weekly basis. Maybe our little fuck ups are handled with a little less stress because they're spread out over several month and these issues get resolved. When people fuck up in a movie they fuck up pretty big.

You know what really sucks? Being surrounded by people who should know you but don't.
