Except that there is a definitive statement in a story. I didn’t conflate anything, I merely pointed out that while you’re entitled to an interpretation of reality it isn’t objective in regards to what was written by the author or what was visualized on the screen.

Ah, yes, the ‘head canon’ argument which I agree is something the author can’t control but you can still take away something that isn’t there and just a projection. Gold standard arguments in Wizard of Oz is a primary example of how somebody’s take away is a complete fabrication built on the shakiest foundations. It…

I think this is a fair assessment: Lynch is a better cinematographer and director than a writer.  He sets up stunning visuals and dreamy aspects and then leaves the story to a limited sense of existential crisis.

I think it’s a completely acceptable question to ask in a different framework: “What are some of the themes from this work?” and add an addendum about class discussion or personal views regarding it. The presumption of ownership over philosophical underpinnings is damn near impossible to gather.

Is it?  Are there multiple meanings to Diehard?  I don’t mean in the deeper possibly philosophical sense of capitalism and our perception on terrorism because that’s 100% not within the author’s view or original intent when he wrote it.  I definitely think there are canonical meanings and ambiguity is totally…

Lynch knew what Eraserhead was about, it’s about adulthood, parenting, and the complications those things bring. Otherwise really when people think of ‘David Lynch’ they really just mean Lost Highway, Mullholland Drive, and Inland Empire for his weird ‘Lynchian’ stuff that has no discernible meaning. I’m not going to…

I’ve seen so much Troma over the years including Poultrygeist that I’m not sure how when Troma was still taking it self a LITTLE seriously when it made the movie will spin off into this.  I feel like it’s going to be bad, so very bad, but I’ll watch it because the concept is good, Dinklage is enjoyable, but I just…

So, my awful story is that when I went on a 9-day educational tour of Europe on a shoestring budget because I was a lower-middle-class with one educated parent (but a two parent household) the much wealthier kids and their parent that could go with them insisted we eat at Planet Hollywood in Paris....PARIS. We saw the…

Isn’t that why we play games? Atleast multiplayer games?

It’s why I play borderlands 3 by myself but I enjoyed TF2 with others. Sometimes a good mechanic with friends is enough.

You punish people after they are convicted, not before, at least in America.

Ok, so, I want to know is Ryan Reynolds coasting on some goodwill I don’t know about? It isn’t just white privilege that has allowed him to make a long run of bombs and be almost run out of Hollywood a few different times. I mean, without Deadpool he was basically on the verge of finally being relegated to comedies…

I’m not sure you’re serious and if you are....please, see yourself out.

The real trick is plastic surgery, a bevy of support staff, and not working a 40-70 hour week where stress comes into play.  

You don’t join the military because you have high-minded ideals about social liberties.  Jessup is by definition ‘A military man’ in that he follows orders, does what he has to do, and doesn’t think any deeper than the analytical outcomes require.  Nicholson and the meaning behind it all is a deep philosophical one…

You could argue it but empirical data would likely suggest you’re wrong. I mean, FFC was widely known as the man behind both godfather films, at that point barely 20 years old. Grisham was and is a popular novelist but much like Michael Crichton and others from that era when ‘plane books’ were becoming the rage, he…

Fact is, most older cars become valuable or sought after because of certain ineffable characteristics. If that were not the case, we’d only ever hear people talk about the McLaren F1. The SLR is one of the few cars from the 2000s that still looks new today. It and the Carrera GT, at least aesthetically, don’t merely…

I mean, the whole point is that there isn’t much to continue.  She becomes the top official in the town, has another kid with her husband and he remains a mailman for decades to come.  I’m more inclined to see the next season explore the KC mob further in the 1970s/80s/90s than anything else.

What is there to continue?  I would love another season of her but has Fargo ever done an actual continuation or just hinted at interconnected stories?

I read the reviews and just went ‘I’ll wait for the 2nd season’ and I feel that’s kind of where they went wrong. Netflix for that kind of money should have gone all-in and did 20 episodes to get the story moving or spend 70% of their time in the actual origin phase when actors in their 40s could still reasonably play…

I came here to point out how he essentially stole Taxi Driver and Kings of Comedy and even used some of the same actors just aged into the reverse roles and I was not disappointed when I was beat to the punch.  Phillips is a hack on a level I can’t begin to describe, if his follow up isn’t more cribbed notes from…

Americans have a social disconnect because the most common voice is white suburbanites, so the skewed perception is towards them and they live in isolation within a small family unit. Followed that by late stage capitalism limiting the function of the educated class to have children and you have two outsized voices…
