Wow!

[Newt]

Fussbudget.

[Buckyrig]

You're just having trouble accepting that I am God.

It's hard. You'll get past it.

[Newt]

If by "God" you mean "a dweeb", then I accepted it long ago.

[Knuckles]

Who says dweeb any more?

[Newt]

It is the most appropriate term for Buckyrig, whether currently fashionable or not.

You oaf.

[Buckyrig]

Who says dweeb any more?

Dweebs.

[Newt]

Yeah, nice comeback. What a dweeb.

[dano]

Clod!

[Newt]

Nincompoop!

[MattWaterman]

This thread isn't "wow"-ing me quite like it used to...

[dano]

the pendulum has swung

[Buckyrig]

This thread isn't "wow"-ing me quite like it used to...

Almost as if this degeneration of discourse into nonsense is somehow...what's the word I'm looking for...inferior?

Lacking significant substance, point, or validity?

Huh?

Huh?

:slap:

[MattWaterman]

I feel bad about that.

[Buckyrig]

Criminey. :sure:

[Knuckles]

Now you're just being mean.

[Newt]

It's okay, internet people aren't real and therefore have no feelings.

[Buckyrig]

Is that a joke about diabetic neuropathy, you jerk? :mad:

[Newt]

Way to judge me before I answer, crapcicle. The answer is no, it was not a joke about diabetic neuropathy.

[FA]

An englishman, an irishman and diabetic neuropathy walk into a bar....

[Knuckles]

It's okay, internet people aren't real and therefore have no feelings.

Did you just say that I'm not real?

[Newt]

Do you disagree?

[Knuckles]

Yes! Cause I'm most definitely keeping it real.

[Buckyrig]

An englishman, an irishman and diabetic neuropathy walk into a bar....

Well that just doesn't make any sense.

Stricken!

[Newt]

I'm sure you're programmed to say that.

[Knuckles]

So, are you not real?

[Newt]

I'm the only one here who's real. I have no evidence that any of the rest of you exist outside of the web.

[Buckyrig]

I'm the only one here who's real. I have no evidence that any of the rest of you exist outside of the web.

I've done this routine already.

Since its halloween soon, can I be a ghost? I can haunt this board.








Boo!

[Newt]

Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!

[Nick Kerklaan]

Since its halloween soon, can I be a ghost? I can haunt this board.

You can only be a ghost if it's in a positive, life-affirming way. None of this "I failed to complete some important task in life so now I'm all tortured and angst-filled" bullshit.

Bucky, I know you want how you feel about integrity and meaningfulness in art to be the objective standard of integrity and meaningfulness in art, but it isn't. I don't know how anyone could possibly argue that their opinion was anything more than just that - one person's opinion, unless they were insane. Are you insane, Bucky?

[Buckyrig]

Are you insane, Bucky?

If you're not insane...you're wasting your time.

[Buckyrig]

In fact let's stop this "life-affirming" shit that I never said myself...but works as an easily mockable label.

Constructive or Thoughtful vs Reporting from The Muck

Works better for me. :thumbs:

[Nick Kerklaan]

Yeah, and I still say that "The Muck" is all in your perspective. One man's sad sack nihilistic bullshit is another man's touching, life-changing read. Who am I/you to judge?

[Buckyrig]

Who are you to say that I am not the best arbiter on Earth?

Ok...now I'm being a shit...but that is the degradation of the thread...at points at least.

I'm not sure there is a such thing as a "structured, scholarly discussion". :laugh: I think that's just a conceit some people comfort themselves with.

I'm just alluding to the inherent flaw in the argument that it is just my opinion...and that other people's opinions are valid...but amongst those opinions are the opinions that other specific group's or individual's opinions are patently wrong. See the problem? :D (I'm breaking your shoes at this point...don't get too hot over it.)

Yeah, I really try to avoid the "That's just, like, your opinon, man" arguing technique, but sometimes I can't help it. I realize it's a flawed argument, but in this case it's a reaction to the idea of an objective standard of... really, anything, but in this case, "deepness"... which is kind of a sticking point for me. I certainly appreciate debates like this, but in the end I really just think everyone should be groovy and like what they like and, like, be excellent to each other and some other hippie bullshit like that. But, no really, I am a hippie at heart probably so that's where I'm coming from.

Thanks, though it's quite undeserved. Everyone involved in this thread has had interesting things to say, most of it far smarter than anything I've pulled out. I'm in no way qualified to debate things like the nature of art or whatever because I just haven't experienced nearly as much as I'd like. Nor am I qualified by virtue of being a successful, or even working-hard-on-my-way-to-being-successful, artist. I'm 21 with a high school education, I work at a supermarket and I've never finished a complete comic script because I get distracted too easily. I don't know what this entire paragraph is if not a sympathy grab other than a longwinded way of saying, uh, I don't necesarily know what I'm talking about at all.

Nah, it's cool. I'm really glad you started this thread, and I like I said, appreciate what you've tried to do with it. It's threads like this that usually pull me away from lurking a forum (I've been lurking DW for years, though to be fair the thread that pulled me in here was the "Best Comic Artist in the world" one, but trust me when I say this is the kind of thing that would get to me to de-lurk also).


I do have an idea for a kick-ass Wolverine story though...

Me too. It's called "Ultimate Wolverine", and basically it reboots the character to help him connect better with a younger generation and pull in new readers and there's not really very much action mostly just talking over pages and pages and

oh wait. Never mind.

He's looking for us to break down and agree that life is all flowers and sausages. Which it is not.

[Buckyrig]

If anything, I'm looking for some kind of aspiration that art should be an important part of the social structure which explores the frontier edges of human knowledge...or rather, that it at least attempts to.

The rest is distraction.

Why can't some art just be about a sad dude who's sad? Or, to put it another way, where the fuck is the aspiration to explore the frontier edges of humanity in X3?

[Buckyrig]

X3 is throwaway entertainment.

[Nick Kerklaan]

X3 is throwaway entertainment.

Okay, explain how you differentiate throwaway entertainment from "meaningful art", for lack of a better word.

[dano]

Because that is what is at the very heart of the X-Men property. The fgact that they are different and discriminated against yet have to live with who they are in a hostile world. Of ALL the properties to raise the bar, it should've been X3. 1 & 2 were decent with that.

Well, the did try to adress - however badly - the question of whether or not one would change something that is an intrinsic part of him or her in order to find acceptance.

But, it was just a popcorn movie.

[Nick Kerklaan]

So first you're insisting that art should be an important part of the social structure which explores the frontier edges of human knowledge, and next you're defending X3 because it was "just a popcorn movie".

So... what are you saying, exactly?

[Buckyrig]

So... what are you saying, exactly?

I'm compartmentalizing.


I could really start to break things down further (high art vs lower art)...but I'm low on gas here.

X3 completely bombed on their message. At the end Rogue got cured form mutantism for a boy who accepted her and then they were both happy! Meanwhile, Kitty probably got dumped via email right after the high of saving the mutant kid from Juggernaut.
Thats a complete 180 on the message. Not only did it lack higher thinking it actually harpooned it.

High art vs. low art distinctions are just some pretentious bullshit, and a way for you defend liking things you can't justify as "high art", i.e. "It was great, for low art."

By the way...has anyone ever seen The Contender with Joan Allen. Talk about harpooning your own message. :blink:

Aristotle started it! :nyah:

He also described the distinctions. So did George Bernard Shaw and I'm sure a slew of others. Those just happen to be the ones I'm familiar with.

[Nick Kerklaan]

Well, fuck Aristotle, I guess.

[MattWaterman]

Nick, I get you in that those subjective judgements, usually by those such as the "learn-ed", usually reek of classism and that makes the terms very unpalatable. But on another level they are helpful, even just on a functional level of "what do I want to watch tonight?" If it's the weekend and my girlfriend and I want to see something that makes us think and something we might discuss afterward then we might see a "high art" movie, as we're using the term here. Something like, well, I (heart) Huckabees or Children of Men. On the other hand, if I'm just freakin beat from work, don't want to think, and have a free hour or two, I might throw in Dawn of the Dead or an X-men movie. That's in no way saying Dawn or the X-movies are not good. Just that the viewer goes in with a differernt expectation is all...

[Buckyrig]

Were you like a grip on I (heart) Huckabees or something? :confused:

Okay, that's a good point.

It just seems to me that for someone who prides themself on being "intelligent", or "deep" or whatever, something called "low art" would have a sort of stigma about it. Even just generally, "low" compared to "high" seems to suggest a... I don't know... lesser value, as a work of art. And while Children of Men is one of my absolute favourite movies that I've seen in the last year or so, so is Grindhouse. They both made me go, "Wow", for different reasons, and to draw distinctions between the two of "high" or "low"... it just seems to trivialize what I got from them. Is that crazy?

[MattWaterman]

No I completely agree. "High" and "low" are loaded terms. If you want to get me going on the injustice that's been done to the horror genre we could fill a good 10 pages there too (...if a movie's "good" horror then it's suddenly suspense; how the hell does that work???) And yes, I've been around the university types and their sneering and that can can get quite vulgar too.

Example! And one thing that turned the tide of my opinion about Stephan King. There was this guy in one of my classes back in college and he was just the epitomy of the "knowledge bully", this angry, nerdy, socially inept twerp who had been so beaten down by life that he was retaliating against anyone and everyone. Clearly he had bought into the university system and, in this one instance, he was railing against Stephan King, how he was nothing, how history would forget him, etc. It was like the author had murdered the kid's dog or something. And it made me realize that there were a lot people out there, A LOT, that found it "cool" to degrade King in a misguided way of propping up the "high art" authors. And worse, many of those people were the opinion-makers in college. And it sorta pissed me off. I've since gone back and read some King and, y'know what? Surprise, surprise, the best selling author and face of an entire genre actually wrote some decent books. :rolleyes: :yawn:

Now...Like I said, I didn't go in expecting James Joyce. If I got that I would have been pissed! Instead I got a good, fun read that made me hesitate before flipping off the lights at night. And that's fine!!!!!! The unfortunate part, like you say, is the implications that "low" and "high" present in relation to the respective forms of art....

It's okay. If we head in any direction long enough we're bound to come across a majore road or something.

But to that point: Reading Joyce isn't necessarily enjoyable in the classic sense. Certainly not like reading King or watching X-Men. It's a mental excercise, in a way. You enjoy it, in a sense, in the same way you enjoy putting a puzzle together or enjoy learning something new. Ulysses.....hell, you barely read that thing at all, it's more like a work of art. I've only read it in its entirity once (though I've picked it up several times to go back to things and have been currently doing so with The Dubliners). Again we run into the connotations of the terms, "High" and "low", but whereas one watches X-men as a diversion, one reads Joyce for enrichment.

Yeah. I know: :yawn: .

Well, one of my other favourite novels is Naked Lunch so I get what you're saying. That said, I still don't like labelling things as high or low, even though, like you said, it's useful as a label. My relationship to any one work of art and to art in general is a personal one, as, I expect, is everyone's. It's cool to trade opinions and ideas, but I think it's a shame if anyone actually gives a shit what anyone else thinks about anything. Just like what you like, no need to justify. Anything's groovy if it works for you.

Are you drinking tea? And why are you eating a giant cauliflower?

No no, he's the one lurking in the background. Although I believe he is about to create a 'blue angel' using the tea candles situated behind him.

[Nick Kerklaan]

Hm, you raise a very good point. I'd respond in depth, but I've gotta bust my ass today if I want to reach my agricultural quotas.

[Mike225]

You're a farmer?

[Nick Kerklaan]

Everyone's a farmer under communism.

[Buckyrig]

You're a farmer?

He's a sucker for low pitches.

[Nick Kerklaan]

I don't know what that means, but will assume it's slang for "He's awesome". So thanks!

[Buckyrig]

It means you swing at shit in the dirt....in baseball!

But you're obviously not American, so... :sure:

[Nick Kerklaan]

Obviously not American!!!??

Just what in the hell is that supposed to mean!!!!!!!???

I'lll have you know I'm as American as cold tomato soup and socialist reform!

[Buckyrig]

It's the spelling. :p

[Nick Kerklaan]

Okay, you got me. I use the King's English because I occupy one of Britain's illustrious colonies.

Aka Canada.

[Mike225]

Dude, you're from America Jr?! :laugh:

[Buckyrig]

Dude, you're from America Jr?! :laugh:

We're calling it North Wisconsin now.
