[Closed] Denzel washington. Are we getting too much information?

I'd say so.

Yes texting while editing video is so stupid.

 

whats denz saying cant be arsed watching the video

I think that DW is a legend and what he is saying is both very insightful and relevant for the times we live in.
I'm enjoyimg seeing him settle into this new role of statesman, as there are precious few genuinely well balanced, articulate and authoritative voices out there!

[i]Well, Denzel Washington wants to challenge us to put down our phones and experience life. [/i]

Of course, yes, there are plenty of people who need to. Went out last night myself, left phone at home. Didn't miss it and experienced a great night at the comedy club.

After falling into this trap myself I've started leaving my phone at home on various occasions, and turning it off at night.

I've challanged the students at work to go a day without their phones, none have accepted.
Is there an irony to needing a phone, lead and power brick to get through a days social interactions.

It's also scary the amount of twadle that is belived, from Clarkson stats to news papers. It's all taken as being true and never questioned. Even assignment research is the first hit on google dispite the big sponsored underneath.

Most of human history (and our evolution before that) we were probably confined to family groups, tribes and villages of a few dozen, maybe 100 at the most. That's probably the level we operate on best. Being plugged into every human on the planet isn't good for us.

I assume this is the cruz of Denzel's video - I'm not going to bother watching it. I'm never watching anything from him ever again after The Equalizer.

You are aware, I take it, that this is a fictional film based on a fictional character, and no kittens/puppies were harmed during the making of it?

Yes, I am painfully aware that the film [i][b]"The Equalizer"[/b][/i] was a work of fiction. It was however an utterly wretched shit stain of a film which I will never forgive Denzel for. We don't have much of a relationship, Denzel and I, but I have never tortured him for two hours.

I liked it. Not up with Deja Vu but still watchable.

Funny how threads get derailed isn't it?

Sorry, it was only intended as an aside - you'll see I did actually comment on the the op, but I.....just....couldn't....let.....it....lie.

He's right .
Btw Denzel is a fave in our house too. 🙂

Trouble is with DW, I can never just say 'Denzil', I always have to say, 'Denziw', like in Only Fools & Horses.

Says me, derailing it again. 🙄

I always switch my mobile off before I go to sleep. If we are out for a meal with family and I see a mobile, then I say something sarcastic to them, (which translates to put that mobile away now, lol).

Not a matter of quantity but quality.

Loads of stuff out there, fewer and fewer know or care about how to filter out the guff.

Real issues like this end up getting ignored: http://savetherennets.com/

I've taken the weekend off Facebook - I struggled this morning, & I'm struggling this evening, mostly through boredom & a fear of missing something. But I'm not missing anything.

All those arseholes who walk around looking down at their phones instead of looking where theyre going would do well to heed his advice.

It boils my piss that they expect everyone to get out of their way.

Looking at your phone all night when you're out with your mates....It's a social crutch. It also stems from a certain type of personality; introverted.

I've had a few walk into me and my muddy bike when I've been at a crossing waiting for the lights to change. They always get indignant for a second before they realise I am static and they did it all on their own.
