<p>Well I killed the shopkeep because I was dissatisfied with my purchase. The reason why the shopkeep helped us when I killed him is quite complicated; it would require me going into the backplot, and I would probably lose you. And finally, I did not take the money back because that is dishonest.</p>
<p>Honestly -- It was unoriginal and immature. Everything was relatively corny and very cartoon-for-kids. Plus, I just don't see what you got out of that experience... Entertaining nonetheless.</p>
<p>Yeah, I seriously hope that the admissions officers have a liberal (not in a poltical sense) sense of humor for you guys' sake.. but good luck! We all find out soon...</p>
<p>nah I think we all understood the point... its just that I've made better videos (might I add a lot more humorous) in my spare time. If i had to make a video for my college admissions, I would have included something a bit more intellectual but then again that's just me.</p>
<p>I'd have to agree that my movie was about the farthest thing from intellectual you could possibly get if you tried. Although its retarded, its way better than writing an essay that says "derr..i would go to the park with my best friends and walk my dog then go to a museum...derr", cause thats boring.</p>
<p>peachykween-- Do not confuse Pretentious with Intellectual. Way too many people do it already. You don't want to be considered Retarded, do you? And I don't know about you, but I'd take Intellectual over Retarded any day.</p>
<p>merudh123-- Thank you. Finally some sanity. </p>
<p>milesguidon-- Obviously, I did not miss the point, for you have just admitted to the stupidity of your video. The point was what... Entertainment? Then I have completely captured the point. An admissions committee will not like the fact that your mental maturity seemed to have stunted at 7.</p>

If you actually came up with convincing reasons about why you think I'm wrong, then I might take them into consideration and actually change my mind. For now, you just strike me as a complete idiot... You writing "swing and a miss" does not make me feel wrong, it just makes you seem more wrong.</p>
<p>The video was interesting, and how the adcoms will review (or have reviewed) it--we will never know! But it's not just about the content of the video. What I got out of it: milesguidon has close friends with whom he likes to spend time, he enjoys making videos, and his sense of humor is quirky. I'm sure they'll pick up on more things than I did, but honestly, there are essays that try to hammer in one idea, and they turn out to be pretty boring.</p>

<p>Jack, honestly, you aren't a member of the adcom. </p>
<p>You're also wasting your time, and are acting just as retarded as you claim milesguidon is. This is a message board, don't waste your time tooling on kids. He made an immature video, according to your subjective opinion. Get that across and stop trying to make a futile argument.</p>
<p>It was just mere speculation. And I'm allowed to have an opinion that differs from yours. I do not claim to dispell the ultimate truth.</p>
<p>I said that it was entertaining. In my opinion, the value of the video ends there.</p>
<p>You're right, Jimp, this argument is useless. It wasn't my intention to "tool on kids," as you say... You guys looked like you had fun... I'm also pretty sure that you are some of the only applicants to do something like that. There's your compliment.</p>
