What the hell is the deal with taking suitcases to work?

Ever miss the briefcase?

One of the things i noticed during my stint working in the legal and banking district of my fair city was that every morning, i would be ran over by someone rolling a frigging suitcase to work.

 

A SUITCASE.

 

Not only the little overhead ones, but the big MASSIVE suitcases that you take away on holidays/hide dead bodies in.

 

What the hell is wrong with people that they cant carry a backpack or briefcase anymore? That they take home mountains of work overnight, JUST SO THEY CAN ROLL OVER MY FUCKING FOOT AT THE TRAIN STATION.

Honestly, if you're needing a damn suitcase to take to work with you every morning, get a goddamn car/taxi/shuttlebus and watch where you're damn well going. That and who really takes that much work home with them? Dont you people have, y'know, FAMILIES?! 

If one day i should be rolling my suitcase to work instead of the airport because i took home so much damn work, you have my permission to shoot me on site.

io9 review of The Last Airbender : Pure Comedy Gold.

So i actually watched an episode of the tv show (Avatar: The last airbender) on monday and was instantly hooked. so much so, that i was 45 minutes late to work, simply because i was watching it. It was warm, engaging, funny and a great story that can be summed up in less than a paragraph of backstory.

I hate shyamalan. I hate that asshat with a vengeance that's unseen by history. He treats his audience as a bunch of mindless drones, which honestly? they probably are, but then hes praised, PRAISED, for his "plot twists" which can be worked out by mid way (often earlier) in the film.

Not only that, 'Signs' its fucking insluting to anyone with any amount of intelligence left in them. WHAT FUCKING ALIEN COMES TO A PLANET COMPRISED OF 80% WATER, POPULATED BY CREATURES -MADE- OF WATER, IF THEY CAN -DIE- BY WATER? 

I promise i wont go on anymore because i WILL be meaner.

The best part of this article? This line :

"Shyamalan has boiled every epic heroic story of the past 20 years down to its most basic, primal soup-y essence, so he can spray it all over the audience, in a kind of Hero's-Journey bukkake. "

I love you, Charlie Jane Anders.
