It's something that's been frustrating me for reasons I didn't entirely understand. But yes, there are a whole lot of people out there who get paid to write about stuff they obviously don't give a damn about.<br /><br />Perhaps a tangent, but I understand the value of saying-nothing-about-nothing criticism/reviews like "this movie is great for a night out with a family"... but it's become so prevalent that it's crippling our ability to talk about art.<br /><br />How many times do we encounter the "well it's *supposed* to be bad" line of critical thinking? I'm with you, Geoff, I'd rather be stuck with the fans and their error of passion, if I had to be stuck with either/or.<br /><br />Here's to more fan critics.Jefleehttp://www.theashcan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-57534206690865133802009-10-16T06:34:53.614-04:002009-10-16T06:34:53.614-04:00I enjoyed reading that interview - good job.
Funn...I enjoyed reading that interview - good job.<br /><br />Funny you mentioned the final issue of The Invisibles, as it's something that's been on my mind after reading your review of Panetary and wondering how they would - not compare exactly - push up against each other?<br /><br />An Invisibles/Panetary consideration as a whole might be quite interesting actually.<br /><br />Interesting how you saw yourself in relation to the academic field - that does come across in the book rather well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843014015527136142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-88846061065552994092009-10-16T03:26:32.055-04:002009-10-16T03:26:32.055-04:00Thanks for doing that, Geoff!

Although if I'd had to pick a quote it would've been the "Poetry vs. Philosophy" thing.<br /><br />You have a lot of readers who never comment, by the way. Haven't had this much of a traffic bump since I was linked by Spurgeon.<br /><br />Come on, you Geoff-readers, COMMENT for heaven's sake! What, you think he's standing out here for his health?plokhttp://circumstantial.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
