Assuming they know either. I like that Mark Twain comment very fitting,I’m thinking more “War is Peace,Freedom is Slavery,Ignorance is Strength”.Orwell 1984yeah, right? In that case, Albert Einstein must be Captain Blackbeard to them!!
It reminds me of this quote from Mark Twain's comment in Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2 (University of California Press, 2013)
Yes; the victories they win are worth as much as they paid to achieve them.
I think my biggest beef is the inclination to complain about how people do things or react to things without taking even the barest moment to try understand where they're coming from beyond a kneejerk reaction that it must be nefarious or at the least based in greed or laziness or blatant stupidity. But hey, this is the internet, reflection beyond our own trousers isn't usually our strongest suit, and no one else's point of view could be as valid as our own, could it?
Especially Taco Bell. 3:30 in the morning. In the bathroom.
That would be the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy you're describing. Everything else would be typical McDonalds stuff.Especially Taco Bell. 3:30 in the morning. In the bathroom.
On my ninth roll of toilet paper....
Maybe things like Bladerunner 2019, I just rewatched it and the sound alone is awesome. Same goes for Dune.
The old ways fade for a while but they often come back later, sometimes in different forms. History cycles and repeats itself even in the form of art, values, media, styles, cultural paradigms etc. That's why it's better to find what you like or relate to on deep levels based on its own merit, no matter what the temporary generation "in charge" says is "in" at the moment.I can agree with some of this. Capitalism certainly does have a way of mass producing things with the intent of selling you a replacement in the nearish future. But as far as art goes, the quality to garbage bin ratio remains very similar to what it always has been, with us left to recognize the standouts of the past and forget about all the dreck that they rose above.
How does the saying go... "We've investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong"
Sometimes this place reminds me of old folks night at the bar, full of self congratulations and complaining about everything the next generation is up to without a lick of self reflection. ******, it's like the lot of us aren't living in a world that now has Nirvana on the classic rock station. Things change. The old ways fade, and sometimes we're better off for it collectively.
Have fun guys, I'm going to ride it out with the kids. They'll be in charge sooner or later, and then I can listen to them complain about the next batch I guess.
Peace out.
I couldn't agree more. Well said.
I choose for my poison: extra large Sicillian style crust pizza with green peppers, mushroom, black olives and a 2 liter of Pepsi™.
