dec 20 in idea barrages

A tender ballet about a young charismatic rock star Billy Corrigan blossoming into a weird paranoid wrestling promoter and it’s called ZWAN LAKE.

I have no idea why anyone would want to see MORE of Zack Synder’s Objectivist phantasmagoria where Batman shoots and Superman kills. Do you people have a “missing the point” fetish?

The beatnik cult of first-draft purity is anathema to me. Write enough to choke a goddamn horse then edit yourself down until you find the good stuff through sheer statistical probability. Write yourself a mountain then edit it down to a statue.

If only the follow-up to Donnie Darko had succeeded more, we’d have all kinds of “Sondland Tales” jokes right now.

Forgive me if I’m not gonna watch the Democratic candidates conduct a circular purity firing squad, all trying to cancel each other for not being extreme enough on one issue or another, doing Putin’s job for him. I haven’t the heart. Why does Trump even think he has to con dirt out of the Ukraine on his Democratic opponents? Gabbard’s out there doing all his work for him, she’ll have a well-paid show on Russia Today when this all blows over, like all the other useful idiots. The trick the far-right played is brilliant, it knows the far-left’s fatal flaw is vanity in a self-important vision of their own revolutionary purity. They’ve convinced them tearing down the Democratic party is more important than opposing Putin’s monster Trump and we’ll all burn for it.

A head-canon where Mr. Wilson is secretly Dennis The Menace’s real father, both explaining his deep hatred of the child and Dennis’s sub-conscious draw to his actual dad.

I’m no auto-didact but hey, t’each his own.

I hope some day someone starts rapping as Community Chest The Rapper and starts a huge beef with Chance The Rapper.
