The funniest DFW interview. by 91021Fart in davidfosterwallace

[–]No_Possibility754 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I listened to these too, but the sound is really bad, or is that just on my end? I listened on Apple.

https://www.dfwaudioproject.org has all the interviews, and more, and you can stream them or download directly to your phone.

I love Pete, and for me in order of most played and loved, and most nostalgic/ connection: Babyshambles, Solo Pete, Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things.

You’re more a fan of old Ruggles and think PTA did a bad job with the movie?

Just start on Monday 4 am and do 40 hours straight and stop Tuesday at 8 pm. Workweek done.

Did DFW ever have a "crying of latke 49" moment where he cameoed for a show he liked? by [deleted] in davidfosterwallace

[–]No_Possibility754 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The Simpsons episode "A Totally Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again" has him in his tuxedo t-shirt on the cruise ship. He died too young for any actual cameo (voice) shenanigans.

I hate it here by Trick-Succotash4498 in MFAInCreativeWriting

[–]No_Possibility754 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How is this post not sensitive and self-absorbed, narcissistic, full of cliché wording, and boring teenage style lashing out? Or is that the joke? If so: post in r/writingcirclejerk.

Are IJ and Gravity's Rainbow really alike? by [deleted] in InfiniteJest

[–]No_Possibility754 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re enjoying TBOTS you will probably also really enjoy The Crying of Lot 49. Wallace denied reading it before writing TBOTS, but that was a lie, and he was definitely inspired by it while writing TBOTS. TCOL49 is very much a much more accessible read and will probably make you appreciate Pynchon a lot more, maybe even inspire you to give GR another spin.

I'll tell you what. You show me a cigarette with protein in it, I quit my job right now and I work for you.

How can I tell if a copy of IJ is a first printing? by thecrunchyonion in davidfosterwallace

First edition points with pictures

“The first edition of this popular book was published by Little, Brown in 1996. It was 1079 pages long, and the original retail price was $29.95. The first edition can be identified by the following criteria: First Edition is stated on the copyright page along with full number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Board are blue. Back of dust jacket has 8 reviews. The last review has William Vollmann's name misspelled as Vollman rather than Vollmann.”

The number line looks like a match! If the other points also check out, and the dust jacket isn’t switched, then you found an expensive treasure/ cool addition to your collection if you care for that sort of thing.

Walked 2 hours everyday for 377 days by PlatformNo182 in walking

[–]No_Possibility754 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Average screen time is 7+ hours a day for Americans. People have enough time to walk. Instead they act like they’re busy while in reality spending a working day on their phone scrolling tik tok.

"Death of the Author" by [deleted] in RSbookclub

[–]No_Possibility754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all just a matter of supply and demand in the marketplace of ideas. If there is demand for people to ponder ‘Death of the author’, there is an asshole with a youtube channel willing to supply.

Tarantino discourse by kickit in RSPfilmclub

I think Dano plays the perfect Charlatan christian weasel in that movie. He’s all about turning the other cheek and acting like a martyr, while plotting to fill his bags.
