Oh hai Caesar!

the old man truly is an artist with a Thompson ..

I very much doubt that they'd have sat down and watched the whole thing..

ha, I took a girl (well, technically she took me; she drove) to see The Man Who Wasn't There once, in a first-date type of situation.
She was a little non-plussed.
We did however have sex in her car.
But we never spoke of the film again.

don't get me wrong btw; there are plenty of cool things about the US to be admired and respected, too ..

thanks for your reply …
the report I saw last night lingered a lot over the indoctrination of gun culture on children, I just found it really disturbing. Reminded me of the Middle East's attitude toward weaponry and warfare - probably not coincidental ..
I reeeally don't know a helluva lot about American politics, this…

astute comment.
also; Kanye gets a lot of credit for his eclectic samples and blah blah, but never seems to know who any other artist is ..

The sooner society stops equating art with sports (winning/losing/medals and trophies) the happier everyone will be - there is never any objective way to truly measure the impact of a piece of art, and ceremonies like the Oscars and Grammys are ridiculous and in no way deserve the relevance and currency they are…

It would be terrifying living in the States right now, no doubt.
Hopefully some kind of sanity prevails.
Speaking of which, I watched a really devastating report on the 2nd Amendment last night (that's the right to bear arms one innit?) and it was completely baffling, as a non-American.
The US's culture of fear and…

His wife thinks he's cool ..

Extremely charitable, bordering on pussying-out on calling it like it actually happened. Weak stuff from AVC right there.

fuck you man; that was mine!!
I even had a couplet:
I like drawing/it's not boring ..

“Got friends that ask me for money knowing I’m in debt/ And like my wife said, I still didn’t say no/People try to say I’m going crazy on Twitter/ My friends’ best advice was to stay low / The media said he’s way out of control/ I just feel like I’m the only one not pretending I’m not out of control.”
Tell me what…

Zeitgeist-y?

as someone else in this thread identified, it's all about the clicks - if Kanye keeps generatin' them all-important clicks, 'journalists' will keep serving us stories about Twitter feeds and the like ..

thank you for shining a light toward the end of this tunnel ..

you've just earned yourself a click, in the form of an upvote, for hitting the nail on the flat-bit..

meh, the Oscars (and Grammys) are totally stupid; I'll never understand the fervour that comes with ranking and rating artistic output, to me it seems counter-productive ..

oh god yes those three lines you quoted were horrible.
thanks for reminding me as to why I just couldn't get behind it (and I was really looking forward to an enjoyable movie experience!).

Yeah that line was yuck and sticks in my mind for all the wrong reasons ..
