Does that mean that i absorbed the full essence of the movie ….or?

It seems that whenever arty intellectual types (self-fancied or otherwise) deign to do something mainstream, the entire experience has to occur in one of two modes. It’s either in caps or quotes. Not literally, of course, but figuratively. It’s either elevated into some kind of special and unusual cultural event — Seeing a Hollywood Blockbuster — or done in a complete spirit of smirking irony. See also: eating at a chain restaurant, shopping at a big box retailer, visiting a mall, driving through the Midwest, and going to an amusement park (let’s go to Disneyland and think about Baudrillard!). You know, these are things that millions of people do every single day without irony and without self-aggrandizement (self-aggrandizement achieved through the act of stooping). Do they really need to be set off as something so outrageous and special just because you work in the high culture industry?

I think it’s refreshing to be able to sit down and actually read something that gets into the little details of things. There’s way too much telegram-style micro content theses days, and a good read is never harmful.

Except for people whose lives exist between meetings. Like Max, I guess.

It’s Max, BTW, not Matt. Obviously I wouldn’t be making suggestions if I didn’t think the blog couldn’t be better. Why do you invite comments / suggestions on the “About the Blog” page and then balk when they are made? It makes it seem like you can’t take any criticism.

I’m just trying to help.

We try to support a variety of kinds of writing, short and long form, video posts, image posts etc. I invite you to skip what you don’t like, and come back for what you do. Cheers!

Like less lengthy / rambling posts and more often updated items. No one has time to read 1500 words in between meetings. But I do still like the title of the blog, “Open Space.”
