Take your unadorned simplicity and misplaced sincerity elsewhere scumbag. This place is not turning into my Aunt's Facebook page on my fucking watch.

@avclub-358658fe52d09084a2ed990b0129c6ca:disqus Thank you for understanding my frustration. Maybe if there was a groundswell of understanding like that I wouldn't be such a dick. I will re-read your post a few times and try to absorb it and then try again at not being so angry.

@avclub-f0c28c550d55c407a393cd97dc40e763:disqus Fascinating theory, but we don't write the same, which would mean that I have very excellent control over such things, which means I owe you a thank you.

@avclub-f2fff5fb2677ede8e6441ee2f77ed6c9:disqus Sure, that reductive psychology both could be true and probably is true (though not in the way you think it is). But it's completely irrelevant and not a response to the content of my post, which was devastatingly brilliant.

@avclub-bfec24bb96741694a4e44b861e56bf82:disqus I am not fun to those who chug advertisements with Clockwork Orange eyes every day, thus purging negativity from their lives.

@avclub-6997a8bd0e1042b70b60c5c879a1780e:disqus You prove the point that all someone has to do to refute an asshole is write something semi-cogent. People will be so happy to agree with the guy shouting down the asshole, they'll jump onto anything. Fascinating psychology.

@avclub-0108709d613bc1d1db7e5c2b5f02c657:disqus Thank God you don't want to engage with me, I have successfully weeded down the herd. There is a difference between being elitist and being pretentious. If you look at my original post, it's just elitist. Elite is good. I am elite. I only announce my brilliance because,…

1. I am a dick to make people who think me being a dick is relevant leave the conversation.

@avclub-0108709d613bc1d1db7e5c2b5f02c657:disqus I didn't cite them, I accurately and concisely explained them, avoiding various misconceptions about them, and uniquely related them to a piece of pop culture. Either way, a formal element like you pointed out is not going to be why my post was brilliant or not, it's…

@avclub-7fe950bf41938be738fdf241f2c46248:disqus "Generalizing", lol. People are swept up in history. I'm doing an institutional analysis. Very few people are unique snowflakes. Everyone is very much the same in the important matters. It takes years of work and reading and negating to be different. If their is any…

@avclub-5fdbaa11bd42c308322756f60f43785f:disqus ….. anti-intellectual fuck much ….. yeah, let's all just keep our heads down and have fun and not speak about or reference serious theorists, nothing ever went wrong doing that …..

@avclub-33807fbc68d335db8080d3c10cb78822:disqus If the scene was about 'life goes on', then he would have pulled back from the family, or slowly faded out, like you said. But he didn't. He built anxiety, he had a suspicious guy walk in, he dollyed when the suspicious guy went to the bathroom thus referencing The…

@avclub-358658fe52d09084a2ed990b0129c6ca:disqus You're my kind of person. You can see past the fact that I'm a dick and actually look to the content of what I say. In a sense, I'm purposefully a dick in order to weed out the idiots. And yes, the analysis here is generally shoddy, especially the Sopranos conversations.

@avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus The acuity of my explanation should indicate to you that I am well-aware of how I come off to denizens of late-era America. I could give a fuck.

@avclub-ee0fbae41b96c8e0ffbc0f8466290c5a:disqus I was attempting to be polite. He isn't smart enough to understand.

@avclub-dcba90e7265f12accf0eb33b8fcb6ca4:disqus Well maybe the ending is a manual on how to properly make fried egg sandwiches in the gravitational zorblat of Pakistan's third moon. I guess anything is possible maaaaan.

PLEBIAN FUCK. THAT COMMENT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY.

And that the episode opens with a shot of him that looks like he is in his coffin. And the shot of Tony at the airport at night. And A.J. listening to the most apt Bob Dylan song ever as his commercial possessions explode, thus giving the dumbass fans the explosion they "wanted" (if you want to talk about Chase…

It was only a stunt if you're not educated enough to understand it. No one experiences their own death. You are dead. You don't experience anything. So, he recreated the experience of Tony's death from his perspective, meaning that he didn't get to experience it. DEATH IS A LACK. It's a big nothing. It's a lack of…
