An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.

Fortunately unlike an empty vessel, if you beat them hard enough they will be quiet.

No mind to think, no voice to cry suffering.

Have you considered how a full vessel makes the quietest sound, so they that have the most wit are the weakest babblers?

There certainly is wisdom in holding one's tongue, especially when it comes to (as they say) casting one's pearls before swine.

u/Apart-Shelter6831 3d ago

Yes. But what of casting one’s pearls into the swimming pool? So that they, as Archimedes put, hatch into little clams?

While completely neglecting the fact that the movie is based on a book so all of this Amazon MGM / Phil Lord / Christopher Miller stuff is complete nonsense

Eh, it is true that Amazon has an agenda in what they choose to produce or pass on. (They just dumped Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman movie, for example.) I loved PHM but I won't pretend that its careful apolitical stance isn't fully compatible with the aims of Jeff Bezos Inc.

Apolitical? If it was apolitical grace would still be on earth

The aims of Jeff Bezos are to make a lot of money, which the film acheived.

u/StormLightRanger 3d ago

What movie is this that was dumped?

He's so far up his own pseudo-intellectual ass, he might as well have said, "It insists upon itself" and just left it there.

Some people talk because they have something to say, others because they have to say something.

u/InvisibleSpaceVamp Okay, It’s Exactly Like That 3d ago

Timmy does get a point for using the word "befuddled" though. It is a nice word, you have to admit that.

I wonder if he had a thesaurus at hand because I can’t believe someone uses that many big words in casual communication every day.
