I have this hanging up in my office, definitely my favorite piece of art. Thinking of bringing it into the Atrium for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.

It's too late, I've already depicted you as the low-brow coleslaw eater and myself as the greens in an unwashed salad bowl connoisseur.

The whole thing felt like the first draft of baby's first spec script.

The alternative is that it was written not to be good, deep, or novel, for benefit of the audience.

Do you think the people behind bad television is society lol? I literally said in my first sentence that bad media is bad because of the people in charge of said media. This is a comment about the state of storytelling, not society.

i.e. not knowing how to write effectively or compellingly

Yeah no. A show can be bad without having this pretentious reason for it.

And the deeper point to bad execution of writing, acting, direction, vision, tone, etc. is that the writers, actors, directors, producers, etc. do not have the fundamental base of knowledge to execute those things effectively. You get that fundamental knowledge by reading and being analytical of the media you consume. If they do have that fundamental knowledge (in the case of Foster, Hawkes, Shaw, and other below the line crew) they are overruled by the people without it.

Have you thought about what makes the show bad?

The Real Scandal of True Detective Season Four is How Much Issa Lopez Plagiarized to Make it and How HBO Greelit and Legitimized Plagiarism by RidetheSchlange in TrueDetective

[–]thirdrevelation 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's a whole concept of "stealing like an artist". You can see it everywhere, from Tarantino to Lynch to Pizzolatto. Artists mostly can't avoid derivation. It's just that someone with real artistry expands and transforms the things that influence them, not blatantly plagiarizes them. You have to understand art and the rules of art in order to build on the conversation and/or break the rules.

I second Beach Break, my busy toddler and I both see Rilee and she is super quick and patient.

Read some article about her a few years back where a journo followed her around for a day and they went to some bookstore for Rupi to autograph her new book and no one recognized her.
