If a value is good, it's conservative; if not, it's, oh, I suppose, left, liberal, pick yer bogeyman. <br />Like conservative ideology, the word "conservative" basically means "good", so how can the "good" fail? Which means if some values help people and are a benefit to society and its institutions, they are good and therefore, conservative! We're all conservatives! Which doesn't mean a goddam thing.Howlin Wolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-30881546415840366162013-04-17T15:00:44.519-04:002013-04-17T15:00:44.519-04:00[Joins mds in weeping]

It assumes a world in which jobs and success are given not by a just universe, or even a free market, but by someone who has to "notice" you, who has to "pick you out of the crowd." Its basically the (real) Horatio Alger version of success in which a plucky good looking (!) boy gets elevated because of his excessive servility to a good hearted rich man. "Getting noticed" is the exact opposite of "hard work" or "doing the job" its all about being seen to be useful to people with money, jobs, or power.**<br /><br />And, of course, you could "get noticed" and then shot, say, if you were working hard and also union organizing. Getting noticed really has a very different valence for lots of people than it does for the upper classes who are always on the lookout for new servants.<br /><br />**In fact "getting noticed" is something Susan Faludi puts her finger on when she describes the entire backwards culture of the pop warner clubs in a decaying suburb--the smart kids quickly realize that getting noticed involves creating a brand identity, a quirky, sexy, noticeable style that strangers and reporters and scouts can identify and latch on to. Just playing well is not enough. You have to "be noticed" in order to be lifted out of the muck and mire of the other losers. This leads these kids down some pretty dark paths seeking celebrity at any and all costs.aimainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-55927831846914930682013-04-17T12:40:31.645-04:002013-04-17T12:40:31.645-04:00I can just imagine what a barrel of laffs Searcy m...I can just imagine what a barrel of laffs Searcy must be around the craft table during production breaks.satchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-75815087533968170242013-04-17T12:37:27.327-04:002013-04-17T12:37:27.327-04:00Heretic!Heretic!Triplanetaryhttp://www.metagalacticllamas.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-49925336676616552042013-04-17T12:35:17.225-04:002013-04-17T12:35:17.225-04:00I knew it!

The thing the fil makers don't seem to grasp is that you can't simultaneously invite the audience "backstage" and into the confidence and company of the actor--dropping his actor arrogance--and also run a simultaneous "act" about an arrogant incompetent actor. It's got to be one or the other. Searcy isn't a good enough actor to pull this off but it's really the script writers fault because they couldn't figure out which message to send.Aimainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-36508528771036872202013-04-17T12:25:42.668-04:002013-04-17T12:25:42.668-04:00That's how I know the inventor of the roller g...That's how I know the inventor of the roller grill was a liberal...satchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-19110771508126563482013-04-17T12:24:03.599-04:002013-04-17T12:24:03.599-04:00Microwaving them plumps them nicely.
