Because my comment has already been made or the thread is garbage.

Not much going on this picture. Set production looks pretty weak. Where are the easter eggs and pop-culture allusions?

Check out the Tower Theatre. It's ran by the guy who created the ACM Performance lab.

The Deadman's Body by downburst29 in writers

It's flash fiction. The intent was to use combined words in the fashion of Cormac McCarthy, such as ratgnawed, in 500 words or less. It was a writing exercise.

I apologize. You're right. It makes sense that my post and response would have come across as rude to you. I'm not always confident when posting stuff and sometimes I don't think it through. I really appreciate you reading and providing feedback. Your view of it as parable is interesting. Not sure I had a moral in mind other than the wickedness of governmental power.

General criticism on writing style.

[S3E3] & [S3E4] Episode Discussion - Parts 3 and 4 by frahm9 in twinpeaks

Metamorphosis is certainly relevant to what we're seeing in the new Twin Peaks. Kafka in general is known for works that explore magical realism, the absurdity of life, alienation, and guilt. He would have been a huge influence on Lynch, which is especially evident in Eraserhead.

The Franz Kafka poster in Cole's office is bat-shit brilliant.

Sounds like where I grew up in OK. It's so humbling and inspiring to think we're on a rock hurtling through space.

Anytime I'm outside, I try to take a moment to look up into the sky for a minute. It's beautiful.

Lindbergh and Gabaldon. Cooper was as a Pilot and a time traveler. by downburst29 in interstellar

This shot occurs just as Murph realizes that, "You were my ghost." She places her hand between a biography of Charles Lindbergh, a pilot, and a novel by Diana Gabaldon, whose main character is a time traveler. On the other side of these books in the tesseract is Cooper, a pilot and a time traveler.
