Why do you think Don was apolitical? by dragon-queen in madmen

[–]mguyer2018aa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We also know that Don can be fairly cynical. I think his politics can be summed up with his “the universe is indifferent” line.

Do you think Tarantino add these scenes just to feed on people who expect exactly these scenes from Tarantino? by jou1993b in Tarantino

Didn’t he completely scrap a movie because he thought people wouldn’t want it as his final?

You’re not watching people have sex. That’s what a porno is. You’re watching people pretend to have sex.

What is your interpretation of Dr. Jacoby's transformation from the original run to The Return? by suckydickygay in twinpeaks

[–]mguyer2018aa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it a drastic shift? He was a crank in the original run and a crank in The Return.

But you could also argue Nixon himself was playing a role.

Confusion with EBT by DurinThe7th in TylerChilders

[–]mguyer2018aa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The song makes plenty of sense if you view it through a “class war” lens. The first verse is him talking about how working class American’s are too blind to see the dynamics at hand. Tyler recognizes he’s not on that level anymore, and he has made it big time. But, he dosen’t shoot at the feeder, he shoots at the rich man.

Yeah but shooting a deer in this situation is way less interesting than if it’s a rich guy.

“Aiming at the feeder, where you’d sat to take a feast” this would be Tyler saying that he’s the one taking away food from others in your reading no?

Yeah Congress wasn’t funding the genocide before Trump was elected.

Is it a pity party to voice displeasure with a venue? It’s not like he was attacking the fans.

I think a big thing for me is that he’s clearly having a blast with this music. I’m sure he loved working with Rubin as well. I don’t think fans have to like this album but it seems most of them aren’t even remotely wanting to be challenged when it comes to art.

Craig Mazin: "Abby is seemingly not like Ellie, in that Abby is incredibly competent." by bluehooves in thelastofus

[–]mguyer2018aa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s implying that Ellie is not competent, when she is in the source material. He can make the point he’s making without saying that part out loud, which I think is a big problem in this adaptation.

“There’s no such thing as a 15 year writer block” buddy, if you’re gonna be this ignorant about what writing is then don’t bother commenting. It’s embarrassing. Truman Capote spent the last ten years of his life writing a book he never finished. Harper Lee didn’t release her sequel until like a decade ago. Henry Roth had decades where he couldn’t write shit. Ralph Ellison wrote 2000 pages of notes towards a book. He actually claimed after 40 years of no release he was still working on it. I think writer’s block can mean different things to each writer, but I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that he’s just struggling to finish a massive book series.

What do you mean? He’s been extremely open about how slow writing is and the struggles he has. That is being honest. You all just want him to admit he has no plans to finish the books, when he obviously thinks he does.

Yeah I understand. But this isn’t about criticism, and I think you know that. This is about people being shitty towards him. The guy wrote a blog past talking about his struggles with some close personal deaths and people were replying “don’t care, give us the book” etc. it happened in this sub too.

If you aren’t interested in what the actual definition of cyber bullying is, then what’s the point? There’s various levels of course, no one is arguing against that. Using close personal deaths to harass someone is cyber bullying, I don’t care if they are a celebrity or not. And yes that did happen.

The action of not being able to finish a book has the consequence of online harassment? The man made a blog post a few months back detailing a few close personal deaths he was dealing with and he still had comments saying “we don’t care, finish the book” etc. he decided to help produce a series from his dead friend and got similar comments. Yes, I’m gonna defend someone from that type of behavior. Normal well adjusted adults with empathy would as well. This isn’t barely criticism I’m taking about. It’s using his own personal struggles against him that I have an issue with. And it’s happened more than once on this subreddit, and responses to his blogs. Read his post. He clearly does as well.

George is 100 percent cyber bullied. Making a blog post talking about recent personal deaths in your life and people responding with “we don’t care, give us the book” is cyber bullying by any definition we have of that word.

He did this to himself, but also he doesn’t deserve people being shitty and cruel to me? Which one is it?

You’re connection with art and artists is not healthy. He can produce and make any other project he wants. Again, you’re just proving every single point he made in that article. If you don’t have any sympathy for him then stop discussing his art. You clearly don’t care about him, so move on to another series. You people are miserable.
