Yeah I like humour. A moron rattling off old dick jokes as he murders people without thought is hardly top notch humour, but I guess it doesn't tske much to entertain people

John

I mean. It sounds like it's a genre that speaks to you.

13 Jul 18:40

Amit Dutta

Ok, "good" comedian. Lol. Forget the leading thing.

13 Jul 18:39

Amit Dutta

Adhere to?

13 Jul 18:39

John

It just sounds like a genre you adhere to.. comedy is too big of a thing to be just concentrated in some simple form.

13 Jul 18:37

Amit Dutta

As well as being hilarious

13 Jul 18:37

Amit Dutta

The insightful ones, that reveal some truth of the human condition

13 Jul 18:36

John

Who's leading?

13 Jul 18:36

Amit Dutta

Smart jokes period. Look at any leading comedian....

13 Jul 18:36

John

Haha!

13 Jul 18:36

John

As opposed to what? Smart dick jokes?

13 Jul 18:35

Amit Dutta

Or people, might have to use their brains....

13 Jul 18:35

Amit Dutta

I think desensitization has a lot too do with it. That's why more explosions and bigger spectacles and dumber dick jokes are needed.

13 Jul 18:35

John

What's this? Some kind of spin to existential philosophy? Haha!

13 Jul 18:34

John

Don't care if it is crap. Don't care if it's gold. Just spoon feed me!

13 Jul 18:34

Amit Dutta

I can only suspect, that most of humanity is indeed retarded, myself :)

13 Jul 18:33

John

I don't think people are dumb. Most of us are just really lazy about getting informed we need to have that thing spoonfed straight to our gullet.

13 Jul 18:32

Amit Dutta

And I know I used to be able to take it no problem due to desensitization

13 Jul 18:31

Amit Dutta

It's not even persuasion. It's coercion, or brainwashing. I don't watch TV at all, and when I go to my parent's place...the tv is on. My god I can't even stand 2 minutes of the ads blaring out at me. It's horrific

13 Jul 18:30

John

Horrible...ly good at marketing! Power of persuasion! How I envy them...

13 Jul 18:30

Amit Dutta

Basically I am a grumpy old dude, wishing people really weren't as dumb as they seem to be when working en masse

13 Jul 18:29

Amit Dutta

Well I have nothing against back stories if you are a fan of something. There are always idiot fanboys that take things too far :)

13 Jul 18:28

Amit Dutta

I really think it's not just hype though It really seems to be a laziness of sorts. We can make this shit easy, and rake in the dollars if it's good or not. But yeah the hype machine is horrible

13 Jul 18:28

John

I'm a huge huge comics guy. But, god, the crap people ask about the back stories in the comic books.. Really? Do you now need a manual to enjoy these things?

13 Jul 18:26

John

No expectations. No nothing. Enjoy the thing as it is meant to be enjoyed.

13 Jul 18:25

John

Whatever happened to "that looks like a nice poster, lets watch that show"! And just roll the dice.

13 Jul 18:24

Amit Dutta

I just think the bar has been significantly lowered for what is seemingly popular and considered "good" especially with HWood movies

13 Jul 18:24

John

Yes! I was talking about that with a friend weeks ago. I mean. How do they make a living when people are so swayed by blockbusters.

13 Jul 18:23

Amit Dutta

I'm no heckler

13 Jul 18:23

Amit Dutta

Rubbish man. If you're good at what you do I'll give props.

13 Jul 18:22

John

Woof.. tough man to please. Not exactly the audience comedians want for stand up. Haha!

13 Jul 18:22

Amit Dutta

There is such amazing cinema out there which doesn't make even a million dollars, but beats the absolute pants off these big blockbusters. Shame
