damn you elks!
I guess I just see the two actors as having a very similar schtick, and he was the first that popped into my head to compare NPH to. Also, I kinda sorta really like That 70's show.
Fuck all you haters.

So if I don't like a narrative, I'm lazy?
I mean, some people do view art as a form of entertainment and I really don't see why [chat] has the odd tendency to view anything that doesn't appreciate the intellectual component of art as inferior/wrong.

And that's because they're run by super awesome people.
Did you know that a former red ranger was the voice of vash in the english dub?
yes indeed.
No, fuck you.
Yeah!
On should not compete for the chat when one doesn't have an idea for said chat
Yeah I'm having issue with that, it seems like a cop out to deny someones personal taste not geling with a very subjective opinion. I personally didn't like No country and I don't think it was out of any sort of lazyness on my part.

Convince the ghost that he's an athiest and he will vanish in a puff of logic.
What I'm saying is that disliking a narrative method that's necessarily demanding of the audience makes you lazy.
I'll agree with that.

Then I turned twelve.
Of course. Many intelligent people that I respect disliked some of the movies W_H listed. They could then follow up that dislike with a thoughtful discussion of why they think it didn't work for them. They're culturally literate so I take them seriously.
The people W_H and I are talking about don't do that. It's a reflexive dislike based on "it's not like the things that I like". And it's especially common in anime because of how facile it typically is; it trains viewers not to look deeper because everything is spoon-fed to them right up front.
Doogie has shown longevity where as Topher is already on the way out.

This [chat] does not go to 11.
For my money, A Canticle for Leibowitz was way better. I liked 1984 better, too.
Or change your old lightbulbs you cheap bastard.

Not really. He made a comeback by basically parodying himself
Yeah but I need to find out who the ghost is first so I can summon the spirit at his grave.
Or maybe it's a female ghost.
:winky:

I wouldn't say doogie has longevity. He had Doogie, a bit part in Starship Troopers, and a self depricating role in a stoner movie that got him some good press and landed him in a CBS sitcom.
It's not longevity, it's a comeback.
Meh.

Mine would have been Trivium themed because I'm seeing them on Saturday, but then I'd be willing to admit that I was deserving of all the metal hate that was coming my way :P
This is so true.
Though I actually did appreciate his "White 'n Nerdy" song for a listen or two.
But otherwise yeah.
Art? Pffft.
People go gaga over selfish people doing what they want on screen and getting away with it.
Raging Bull? Protagonist is a dick. Movie becomes famous.
Goodfellas? Everybody's a dick. Movie puts Scorcese on the map.
There Will Be Blood? Protagonist is a dick. Movie get Oscar nominations.
Citizen Kane? Protagonist is a dick. Movie becomes iconic.
But a move like Once comes along and drops off the face of the earth because the protagonist is a nice guy.
I conclude the audience enjoys being abused by the movies they watch.
How so? I mean I may hate the show, but he's a central reason why its on the air still and that's not a parody of doogie.

I thought he was the shit when I was in 4th grade.
When I was four I was convinced the lyrics went "my fat mama sat on you."
Okay, I can see the point in this.
I'd argue that if the way a piece of art was constructing results in its audience the feeling that its crap/not great/not well approached then the method itself has failed. There's no compulsion that just because art's produced in a certain way that it has to be evaluted in the context of "oh that's just how it's supposed to be". There could be really shitty methods for conveying ideas.

If there were a movie where Daniel Day-Lewis talked down to you and then beat the hell out of you, they'd have my eight dollars.
You missed the part where I said that I haven't read a book in over a year and part of why I'm finding it so wonderful is because it's totally different from the other forms of entertainment that I've become accustomed to.
