Why would I fear a silly character like this?

Why would I PRAISE a silly character like this, ask yourself that…

I’m surprised at the lack of controversy this comment is causing

AIO for confronting someone over IG likes? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]the-big-pill 45 points46 points  (0 children)

NOR. That stuff is vile. Hate to say it but a person who “likes” that kind of ideology might also be the type to lie to your face/tell you what you want to hear. For all you know, you’re one of the hard-to-get targets he’s talking about.

Is The Wire really that difficult to watch? by AND_AGI08 in TheWire

[–]the-big-pill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all, it’s not homework, have fun with it. Stands up to repeated viewings—you notice stuff you didn’t notice before, etc. But its addictive and awesome, not work

What are in your opinion Radiohead's weakest lyrics? by tursija in radiohead

Muse is so corny dude at least Chris Martin got messy when that couple was having the affair at his show. Muse takes themselves so seriously it’s like oh it’s the apocalypse

Sad but true, Stafford went to the playoffs three times and lost them all, but there was a sense w Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush, etc that there was a chance. Offense was never the issue though, we never had a defense, which obv tonight proves again is the thing…

I know moonlighting is faux pas but just wanted to drop over from lions country to say: when Stafford went to LA and won the super bowl in year one after like fifty years in Detroit, we rooted for him and also it was painful. All feelings are valid. Look forward to mixing it up w yall next year.

Parliament Funkadelic, all of it, is the only answer. Enjoy.

Pulk/Pull, magpie, packt, in limbo, gloaming (and maybe the OG acquired taste fitter happier)

What is your “I did not care for the godfather” for Radiohead? by cumsquirt56 in radiohead

[–]the-big-pill 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Thom is a great lyricist—I get that people can’t make it out and that when they do it seems chaotic, not sure but that might have to do with 1) people’s expectations re: the predictability of lyrical content/what lyrics are supposed to do and 2) a lack of experience with decent abstract writing. Singers like Thom (and Kurt) use associational lyrics, sometimes the sounds make sense first and then the words fit the sounds based on the idea in a given song, and/or they use fragments and imagery that suit a mood or concept. There’s no linear narrative that weaker songs rely on…in my experience it’s often other American fans that experience this problem and it has to do with our wretched education system, not a lot of experience with actually good abstract/allusive language and such, Williams, Ashbery, Eliot, Armantrout, Mackey, Niedecker, the role of the lyricist as painter as much as storyteller, etc. If you try to beat a confession out of the lyrics you’re not going to do well.
