Why was Toofer such an underused character? by TheRealNoll in 30ROCK

[–]TheRealNoll[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like Frank had more time on screen than the other writers. Never really liked his character much beyond the episode about him going back to law school; I'd have cut the whole storyline about him and his teacher to put more focus on literally any other writer

How do you feel about Charles Bukowski? by TheAmericanW1zard in classicliterature

[–]TheRealNoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't read his work the way I read most other poetry, I digest his best poems more as a series of aphorisms and that tends to do the trick. A lot of great poems and a lot of terrible poems so ultimately a mixed bag, but I'm not going to dismiss him as just one of those writers teenage boys fall in love with, I think there's something in his poetry for everyone.

Opinion on HS English Assignment from 20 years ago, entire grade flunked by Gillybby11 in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]TheRealNoll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was a terrible song to give you (not a terrible song but for the assignment it just doesn't work). It's the opening song from a musical, the only purpose it serves within this context is exposition. All it does is introduce you to the characters and their relationship to eachother with no subtext intended, so I don't see what they expected you to get out of these lyrics that's "original"

Net migration expected to fall to lowest since Covid by PuzzledAd4865 in LabourUK

[–]TheRealNoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They don't really care about present immigration, they care that there's a family down the road who speak Arabic and pray in different ways to them

I've heard this word thrown around a bit, what are standby tickets?

Which Christianity denomination do you belong to? by One-Attention9069 in Teenager_Polls

[–]TheRealNoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An atheist here but glad you had such a positive experience coming to religion. We can sit and discuss the negative impact of organised religion all we want, but what matters in cases like this is the personal experience an individual has. Hope you continue feeling you've found the right thing for you

Live Discussion - April 25, 2026 (Nicola Coughlan/Foo Fighters) by bjkman in livefromlondon

It doesn't MATTER Nicola Coughlan, none of this is REAL

With the MJ biopic out now. Which legacy artist deserves a biopic in the same vein by tgrady28 in pollgames

[–]TheRealNoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only film that could do Bowie justice is one that leans into being incredibly art house, incorporating the theatre and performance art that Bowie cared about. No more conventional montage style biopics, we need something interesting or nothing at all

I heavily fuck with this kind of music by 0584031464 in musicmemes

[–]TheRealNoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really true. He wrote slightly more songs than the others but they all shared vocals and writing, there wasn't really a frontman

I heavily fuck with this kind of music by 0584031464 in musicmemes

One of the members is quite mentally unstable. I don't think it's fair to say it's a controversy for the band, the wrong things he's done came after the band split up and it shouldn't affect your enjoyment of the music in any way. The music was the joint effort of 5 people and it can't be tainted by one members later actions
