RL  2012-06-26 12:48:00

Just had a comment blown away into the ether.

Sigh.

It was for Joe. Pointing out that Apoth, whom I've known for years, was pissed off too. But he'll get over it and come back with something smarter than I am. He always dioes.

The post was about the goshawk. If you read and reread, you'll see it's so. And then, like Apoth, you'll find something worthwhile to say aboutThis is a conversation it. It's not rocket science. It's writing.

This is a conversation, not a contest. And there are no losers. in a real conversation.



apotheosis  2012-06-26 10:44:00

The "comic book hero" was the only one of your three diversions I've actually seen and had a comment on, RL. Your goshawk show is "not currently airing" according to the link you provided, which I dutifully followed, and the other I'll probably watch just for Bernard Hill. Because he's Theoden.



Joe  2012-06-26 10:35:00

Okay, RL...

As Donald Pleasance said to Isaac Hayes in "Escape from New York:" You're the Duke! You're A-numbah one! Now, don't let me distract you any further from your mission. Also, henceforth I will be self-censoring and will only write "M*gic U*derwear" in order to spare the feelings of the offended. I offer my mea culpa to the Gods of Instapunk, lest they smite me with anathema sit...



RL  2012-06-26 09:36:00

Not pointing fingers here, but it's interesting that I mention three diversions, and the only one that gets commenter juices going is another comic book hero.

My log in the water. Thor was the silliest of my three diversions. The small County Clare movie was much better. The goshawk documentary was sublime. But look at what we're talking about now. The real boon of Brit actors is that they somehow always have time to make The Boys and Girl of County Clare.

Where Joe goes wrong in assessing (or trying to) what I'm up to in any particular post. I did have a topic sentence: "Raptors in Crisis: Can you fledges fly?" I had content: all the pundit drivel that distracts us from what is important. Not free association but an allusive compilation of ways the MSM seeks to distract us from the important stuff. And then, set off by a row of asterisks, a test of our priorities and focus. Could you pick the thing that matters from the dross? Would you go for the dangling shiny object, which is what 24/7 news is all about, or the thing that speaks most directly to what life is about and what it says about our politics?

Fail.



apotheosis  2012-06-26 08:21:00

Weird thing about Captain America...Chris Evans was the only thing that made the Fantastic Four movies tolerable, when I expected Michael Chiklis to be the redeeming feature.



RL  2012-06-26 06:48:00

Three quick points.

Making fun of Joe's looks is not ad-hominem abuse, because I've never laid eyes on him. It's just silly sparring.

Brizoni gets the laurel for identifying Loki's connection to the Boomer Bible.

And, yes, I've seen Captain America. Liked it. Why I watched Thor. Saw the two lead actors promoting Avengers together. They were funny. Asked who was tougher, Captain America laughed. "Thor has a hammer that could cleave earth in two. I have a little shield. Not even close."

Maybe Edda meant "whitest" in the sense of purity or incorruptability. Whatever, I liked Idris Elba.

And for reasons I can't explain my daughter is madly in love with Tom Hiddleston (Loki). I thought he was a whiny little wuss, myself. Oh boo hoo, I was brought up by loving foster parents and treated as family, surrounded by lavish excess and praise, but I don't get to be king like I would if I was an ice giant so FU all, I'm gonna throw a demigod tantrum.

What a little bitch of an antagonist. He was in Avengers, too. If they hadn't been at each other's throats for most of the movie there wouldn't have been any conflict worth carrying 2 1/2 hours of film.

I personally think Richard Price ("The Wanderers" "Samaritan") is one of the best American writers of the second half of the 20th century. He also teaches at Columbia. That old platitude "those who can, do. Those who can't, teach," is about as absolute as "Write what you know." It just isn't true, in my opinion. I don't however dispute that many people look better than me.

Of course I spent most of my consulting career teaching. And acting like it was working. For more money than teachers usually make. Probably because I was better looking than you. Life is not fair.

Joe:

What I said, I think. Those who can do. Those who can't teach. Or they become actors.

But they're probably better looking than you are.

British actors have a generally better reputation than Americans, at least in terms of work ethic. When he was making "Sparticus" Kubrick said whenever he walked near Ustinov or Olivier and the other Brits, they were always muttering under their breath. He was convinced that they were talking shit about him (the 29 year-old kid making the historical epic). But as he eavesdropped more and more he realized they were running lines, while the Americans were busy being divas in their trailers.

And yes, even the RADA classically trained Englishmen lack pretensions. Michael Caine couldn't accept his Oscar for "Hannah and Her Sisters" because he was busy filming "Jaws:The Revenge." When the American press tried to harrass him for making that craptacular movie, he dryly replied: "I have not seen Jaws: the revenge" but I have seen the house that it paid for, and it is magnificent." Class.

Tired of hearing that this and that project is beneath Anthony Hopkins. All Brit actors are for hire. How much? I'll read the script on the plane. THEY know they're not Hamlet and Lear but actors. Even you are suckered by the notion that they're something other than exaggerated pretend. Boys at play.

Why are Brits better at it? Because they know that's what it is. Send them a check and a script and they'll show up, advance half drunk and script iced in their aristocratic heads.

Hopkins? Whore. Sir what's his name? Whore. Dame what's her name? Whore.

Only difference with U.S. actors. Whores who think they're priests, because ordinary people worship their cocks and cunts. Which makes them geniuses somehow. Brits don't actually suffer from that particular delusion.

Sorry, B.

Huh?

"I wanted to smoke a cigarette. And so I did. Is there something the matter with that?"

Loki is the biggest weakness of the Thor movie. Eric Cartman has raised the bar astronomically high for trickster-god characters. The writers of Thor and the new Avengers flick didn't even try to reach it. That, and Hopkins should have been given more to do. The project was beneath him, but he seemed game in what little screen time he had.

Avengers would piss you off. Early on, Loki has a great line about setting humanity free from freedom, which thematically ends up amounting to exactly nothing. What a wasted opportunity.

Have you seen Captain America yet?

RL-

I know how to write persuasive paper, and give it to you in MLA format with footnotes and citations. I don't see how my mentioning of the laughable casting of Idris Elba translates into 'resentment.' I, like a lot of people, thought Tom Cruise was miscast in "Interview with a Vampire" for instance, but I don't have him on the dartboard in my den. I enjoyed Elba on "The Wire."

Maybe my thoughts here are scatter-shot, but your post also seemed to be a free association ( i.e. listen to the Bangles, here check out these movies, Mid-East update, and by the way Bill Maher is still a tool). If I present the same sort of tangential hodgepodge in posts where there was a clear theme, then guilty as charged. Otherwise, my only response to your critique would be a...wha?



RL  2012-06-25 02:21:00

Joe:

What you need to work on: A point.

I appreciate your newfound desire to be civil. But I keep reading your comments and arriving at: Whah?

Writing lesson. Topic sentence -- what I want to convey. Content -- the substance of my argument. Facts preferable to anecdote, a CHAIN of reasoning rather than isolated reasons. Then the conclusion -- why what I've said proves my point.

Kind of the opposite of whah? And all the detours are a waste of time. I made the point about politically correct Thor adequately. You didn't have to specifically resent Idris Elba. Everybody gets it.

Biggest question. Why do you feel compelled to keep pounding on obvious things? Nobody here is interested in obvious things. We know obvious things. We're more interested in interesting things. Is everybody else you know stupid? When you announce obvious things to them, are they impressed? Really?

I ask this because you show signs of being smart. But you're so heavy-handed. I've seen signs of more than that, but then you thud thud thud.

It's like you think debate is a Mike Tyson fight. It isn't. You won't hammer anyone here into submission. You gotta fly a little.

And think about what "fly" might mean. Flexing doesn't do it. Try to find the Smithsonian doc about the goshawk. Another way to learn how to write.

Not trying to give you a hard time. Trying to be your friend...

"Thor. An entertaining movie, which is actually endearing for its determination to convince us that Norse mythology is neither Celtic nor Nordic."

You mean Heimdallr, who the poetic Edda describes as the "whitest of the Gods" didn't actually look like Idris Elba, the black guy who played him in the movie?

Re: Arizona's immigration Laws, let me dust off a criminology text and see if I can make hide or hair of this thing. Ah, here we go: "No matter the reason for detention, a person must show personal and vehicle identification and comply with an officer...unless of course the officer asks her to commit an illegal act...although [you] have a right to protection against self incrimination, [you have] no right to refuse the officer driver's license and vehicle identification."

"Detention" can include a routine traffic stop. You're technically not under arrest, but try driving off and not even Eric Holder could Macgyver you out of justice. How did this even get to be an issue? Even liberal laureate Paul Krugman said you can have universal healthcare or unchecked mass immigration. I'm not for either but they don't even want to pick one! Meanwhile, Estonia's one of the only European nations running a surplus (have been for 2 years) and their policy has basically been "do the opposite of what Paul Krugman says in his weekly op-ed."
