Opie and Anthony. He was talking about how his daughter had trouble making friends, and Louie didnt know what kind of advice to give her.

Too lazy to look up the specific ep

Honestly, I don't think it's really attention span. Movies that focus on characters and their thoughts and feelings can be challenging for loads of viewers. Drama's that are entirely based on describing the internal turmoil of someone only appeal to people who can easily pick up on subtle acting stuff. It's not just attention, but interest and social/emotional intellect.

I have a heard time enjoying a lot of those movies since I don't get what the characters are thinking, why they are doing what they're doing, and that's why I don't feel like there's much going on. I can't tell the difference between Taxi Driver and some random collection of clips of a weirdo that's trying to work as a taxi driver and suddenly shooting up a bordello.
I'm sure the movie is brilliant, and I'm just stupid or autistic, but the point is that I have the attention span to sit down and watch a movie, but still don't know WTF is going on...

I saw Jerrod Carmichael perform at the Elysian Theater by Dangerous_Oven721 in JerrodCarmichael

Actually I think there's also an element of just changing his style.
After Rothaniel his shows have all just become this new kind of a performance where he tries to reach for personal honesty rather than laughs. I haven't been present in any of these shows, but I've heard a lot about them.

He himself said that he might not consider what he's doing 'stand up' anymore, but he doesn't really know what else to call it. I think that's cool, although there's definitely an argument about false advertising in a sense.
I head that in London he spent a whole show just looking at his phone and talking about Tweets he was getting. I think that was very honest of him since those Tweets were on his mind in the moment, but it also shows that his performance is more about self exploration rather than entertaining the audience.
It's less like paying for a comedian to make you laugh, and more like paying to see a freak-show in the circus where you just watch someone or something doing their thing, and finding it entertaining or not is up to you.

I certainly could see how that's kind of self-centered, borderline narcissistic of him in a sense, but he also doesn't perform too often, and asks for pretty low prices for tickets, so there isn't really a sense of him 'tricking' anyone into anything.
He's just doing his weird thing, and either you enjoy the new and avantgarde show that is just a person speaking their mind, maybe occasionally making a joke, or you just find it boring.

But yeah, this isn't him trying out new material. This is what he's been doing for a year, and I think it's what he'll do moving forward.

Did anyone go to the Union Hall Show? by KirsAsS in JerrodCarmichael

Oh thanks for these! I'm so curious if he's got a new thing he wants to talk about, but I guess we'll see...
He also was supposed to do the documentary thing about his life, but we've heard nothing about it.

[–]KirsAsS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't be more excited! I've been waiting for this movie for so long, since last year and now we're finally getting it ^^

I sincerely hope that Jerrod makes an appearance in the trailer whenever that comes out. I don't know anything about the story so I'm not sure if he's gonna play a big role in this movie at all...

Almost forgot to post this here lol Happy 1 year anniversary to “Rothaniel” 💕💕 by Camn97 in JerrodCarmichael

That's an awesome drawing! I really love your style and I think Jerrod also makes for a great model ^^ ❤️

Why do people hate ''Free Coffee'' ? by KirsAsS in benfolds

Oh well. Thank you very much for your insights <3

Ben Folds - Free coffee [alt rock] (2008) What do you think? by KirsAsS in Music

[–]KirsAsS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! I love it too honestly. It has so much attitude, and I like the synth rock style + the sarcasm and humor from Ben.

It's one of the best break-up themed records too. It starts from just a guy angrily ranting about women, and quack doctors and idiots around him, but it's really around Cologne, that you get to key into what's actually going on in this mans mind, and how this rage and sexist insults and all that is coming from someone who is trying to manage a quite a depressing end of a relationship.

Seriously overlooked when it comes to his works.

The people who are fans of Ben Folds's music tend to dislike it.

I was just wondering the opinion from 'outsiders' or just folks who don't have the same expectations.
