I haven't seen it, but there's a Hungarian animated film called Son of the White Mare from '81, famed for its trippy animation and epic, mythical storytelling. Its been restored, and will have a (limited, probably) theatrical release and home video release some time in the near future. It looks frickin' cool amd weird.

| Topic | Is there anything wrong with disliking simple prose? |
| TheOnionKnight 03/03/20 12:51:21 PM #52 | spanky1 posted... @TheOnionKnight for your thoughts on the matter. This is a big subject. Too big for one thread! But to try to boil down my own perspective, I think language should be written in whatever way it needs to be written to say what it's trying to say. Proust, for example, wouldn't be able to express what he does with more concise prose. This is something for writers to consider. But for readers? Whatever you like or dislike is whatever you like or dislike! Maybe you could learn to approach complex or compact prose in a different way, to potentially get more out of it, but there's not necessarily anything "wrong" if you have other interests. I personally love Proust, but I wouldn't recommend Proust to most people. =P --- The owls are not what they seem. |
| Topic | ITT, you (attempt to) explain why we shouldn't legalize ALL drugs... |
| TheOnionKnight 02/25/20 3:16:58 PM #106 | GiftedACIII posted... Except substances like meth and PCP are extreme immediate dangers to other people around the user. It takes multiple officers to be able to restrain one on the very likely chance they go mad. Even things like steroids need prescriptions. By your logic we should just make every substance under the sun completely available over the counter for recreational use which would cause chaos. Very weird line of thought. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it has to be "completely available over the counter for recreational use." That's not even true for alcohol and tobacco. There's an age restriction so that not everybody can buy them. Other drugs require prescriptions, so they're intentionally harder to access, but they're still legal. --- The owls are not what they seem. |

Normal rules and logic don't apply. Doesn't erase the fact that he died for the punchline to a joke, which means he can die for the punchline of another joke. --- The owls are not what they seem. |

He is the character he's playing in that cartoon. It's not like they're staging an opera within the context of the story. The opera is the story. --- The owls are not what they seem. |
| Topic | Strongest Characters ever created? |
| TheOnionKnight 02/07/20 12:39:19 AM #75 | Tyranthraxus posted... His character in the Opera died. He's alive at the end of it saying "What were you expecting a happy ending?" He's dead in the context of the story. Defeated by Elmer Fudd. Of course it's all a big meta joke, which is why he can break the fourth wall and talk about his own death afterward, but he has to be dead for the joke to work, which is why it's a joke, which is why he's dead! But this is a pretty clear example of a powerful gag character dying to fulfill a gag. When you're using absurd cartoon logic to gauge power levels, it's something that puts Bugs Bunny on a lower tier than gag characters who would not die to fulfill a gag. --- The owls are not what they seem. |

| Topic | I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood... |
| TheOnionKnight 01/29/20 11:42:43 PM #23 | Lairen posted... I didnt get this movie because i found it slow, boring, much of it pointless and the entertaining part was offensive, but at least it was entertaining so it gets a pass. I don't really understand this response. In the post you quoted, I said it makes sense why people might find it slow and unappealing. I didn't even say you didn't get it! I just answered the questions you asked, to explain why I don't think the way it handled the Tate murders was offensive. --- The owls are not what they seem. |
| Topic | I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood... |
| TheOnionKnight 01/29/20 11:28:41 PM #18 | Lairen posted... Would it be offensive if i made a movie loosely based on people from Columbine but the ending they heroically take down the shooters and no one dies? If those movies were made to respect, honor, and memorialize the victims in their best light, while criticizing and indeed de-fanging the perpetrators (the Manson Family still has considerable pop culture power, which this movie successfully, if only partially, deflated), then those movies probably wouldn't be received as offensive, no. But those movies probably wouldn't be made anyway, because Columbine and 9/11 aren't tragedies that are intrinsically tied to the Hollywood system, whereas the Tate murders were, which makes them uniquely suited to a movie treatment by that same system. I get disliking the movie. It's slow. It meanders. It's not for everyone. But I'd say it's pretty far from offensive, and I went into it on the defensive myself, expecting it to be exploitative and distasteful. I came out of it thinking the opposite. --- The owls are not what they seem. |

Ive been trying to remember the pain since I was like 5 days old and I just cant. Such horrific pain should still be in my mind. I'm circumcised. I am not happy my parents did it to me. If I had been given the choice, I wouldn't have consented. It's not something you can just shrug off with a "sorry." If I have a son, I will not have him circumcised as an infant.

I agree that "it's all on the table or it's not." That's why I keep saying that all human behavior is natural. "Natural" does not mean "good."

| TheOnionKnight 01/08/20 10:43:59 PM #139 | HerpToTheDerp posted... no. a baby won't learn a language naturally. you need to teach a baby how to use it. if it needs to be taught then it's not really innate now is it? you were so close. the ability to learn is innate. yes. i dont think i said otherwise. Babies don't need to be taught how to use a language. That's why I thought it would be an easy example. Babies can listen, observe, and learn words all on their own just through exposure. I'd say religion is natural too. However, even if you say that learned behavior is unnatural, the logic still doesn't hold up. Before any humans could learn religion, humans first had to create religion. How was it created? Humans can only create things that their natural abilities allow them to create. --- The owls are not what they seem. |

Because the word has multiple meanings and if you mean "according to the usual course of things;as might be expected" then yes I would agree with you. There's no special point I'm trying to make about babies in particular. I just thought it would be an easy example. It's natural for us to socialize and analyze things, to learn and to create, in the same way it's natural for bees to buzz. Our anatomies, our brains, are built to do exactly the things we're doing.
