enjoying art from an artist who is less than savory
zaphod replied to dr lopez's topic in General Banter
i completely disagree with anyone who believes in erasing an artist's work because of transgressions made in life. i have struggled personally with some work (i made a thread like this about burzum once) but that is my own responsibility as an adult to deal with. the main argument i've heard from some people is that they do not want to give these artist's money to support them but are happy to steal their work. i wouldn't even go that far. i'll give them money because it's part of the exchange of taking in their art. i'm an adult, i can deal with it. i wish more people were. -

for anyone who watched the terror, was that a robert fripp track at the end? edit: looks like it was https://soundcloud.com/fabiopirovano/the-gates-of-paradise-parts-iii apparently they used a tangerine dream track in episode 2 as well

interested to know what you think of the last couple eps. one of the biggest let downs for me.

all of this is true but then what makes it worse to me is that disney is using identity politics to make money. if they didn't think this would sell they wouldn't be doing it. actually it's not even really disney's fault because a company has to generate profit and they've found a way to do that in the short term. it's the morons on twitter and the media writing thinkpieces about how brave these garbage movies are who are making a mockery of whatever real concerns idpol stuff has in this country right now. i guess something like black panther was a risk, although slight, but most of this is kathleen kennedy blindly reaching for a platform to sell these movies on because i think they're realizing that star wars, as a brand, cannot really sell when you eliminate the canon characters from it. i'm not saying it's impossible, but the reason the force awakens made the money it made is because you had han solo and leia in it, not because it had a "strong female" or a black dude. in fact i think that movie made money in spite of those things, which were very much issues with most of the fanbase. i really think the last jedi has redefined star wars to a lot of older fans, who simply don't care about watching a movie that "subverts" the star wars mythos. i mean let's face it, there should only have been one star wars movie and that's the first one. everything after that, including empire, is a cash grab. even the first movie was not this "out of nowhere" hit that it's mythologized as. it was heavily marketed and basically guaranteed a return for the studio. star wars has always been a vehicle for merchandising but the mistake disney has made is thinking that somehow this dorky science fantasy universe is going to beat or match its own mcu films, which are doing the exact same thing in a more modern and superior way. they're making a lot of money now, but as they monopolize the industry and continue to buy these huge properties i think fatigue will set in and you'll see a company doing the thing no company should do, which is compete with itself.

next ep is called "jennings, elizabeth". seems like a bad sign. i'm also convinced stan's gf is a spy who will take him out.

The last episode of SoA is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on television.

big doinks in amish guy died

the Americans is close to over. I don’t think this ends well for the main characters. overall I’m impressed they’ve kept up the quality for the entire run. tv has come a long way since the sopranos. I think there’s three tv shows this year that were better than any movie released in the last three or four years.

Jesus that’s someone who I thought died like a decade ago.
