Getting pissed on the internet is something idiots do. This is why I stopped going to any forums, because the end result is always a waste of everyone’s time. Even on here, when say… someone says Up in the Air is a lone man film in the comments, I don’t tell them thats the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever read. I should, but I don’t; because what would be the point?
Then again, sometimes theres a blog post so offensive and wrong, you’ve got to be an idiot and engage. Especially when the guy finally responds he says “Do you want me to apologize for not doing drugs?”.
No, I want you to apologize for writing that garbage.

The best part is that when you called him to the carpet on it, he tried to blow you off; not knowing ignoring you only makes you more of a pain in the ass. Then when he did find his balls all he did was repost half his article & whine about you attacking him as a writer.
But, what kind of “writer” can’t differentiate the concept of theme from the concept of premise. Besides me. That’s different. Seriously, if you’re critiquing anything you should at least have the wherewithal to know what it is you’re talking about about, even if you’re intending to slant positively. And blowing off the surrealistic chunks as ‘trippy’ is vague & dismissive. If this berk’s setting out to get people to buy Morrison books, why is reiterating ‘put it back on the shelf it’s not for you’ in there so many times? Yeah, that’s really glorifying the guy’s work.
I was going to respond on there but having two people on this guy would probably quantify as a hate crime against the mentally disabled. ‘Sides, I got shit to do.
I have shit to do too, but I’m setting time aside.
Special Project of yours?
Got my new boots on and everything.
I’ve never claimed to be an educated thoughtful, writer, reader, etc…I’m just kind of a funny guy.
But if you don’t know what a high concept is and you want to tell people about how to read things, you lose all credibility right there.
And this might actually be a pretty funny high concept:
“Guy who doesn’t understand the high concept tries to explain the high concept to others.”
I might go post that over there too!
If one person reads your response and gets it, it’ll be worth it
No, it was worth it because I laughed really fucking hard. I don’t give a shit if anyone gets it.
There you go.
