I have to write an alternate ending for Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot for my theatre class and I have absolutely no clue what to write. I guess I could have Godot make an appearance at last but I'm pretty sure the whole class will think of the same thing and, honestly, I think something like that would defeat the whole purpose of the rest of the text. Oh honey, oh come on... 'As the cord pulled tighter, Lucky suddenly found himself regaining consciousness. He half opened his eyes and the forms which had so vividly been Vladimir and Estragon dissolved into the cloth remnants of what he'd worn last night, carelessly thrown around the room. Pozzo was nowhere to be seen. Somehow he had become tangled in the electric cord of the bedside lamp. Free at last and no longer mute and then as if from some inexplicable far away place, a word entered his head, which he found himself slowly saying; 'Godot'. He didn't know what it meant. None of it made any sense, but at that precise moment he realised that it had all been a dream... THE END. Good idea. But since my first post I got rid of my writer's block and actually came up with something interesting. And, no, it doesn't involve someone dreaming, nor Godot showing himself .

I feel like episodes that are filler and have no structure were an issue long before Netflix came along

Part of the complaint I've seen with TV these days is that a lot of these longer episodes have no structure and just fill time. That’s a complaint that can apply to 80% of TV. And honestly, I’d sooner take 8 or 10 hour long episodes to 22 44 minute ones.

I was rewatching this Olympic race. Gold,silver and bronze with world record (they already had the world record in the batteries). And it was raining cats and dogs.
At first I didn't realize they had a disability.

Sometimes I'll have a Fanta Pineapple soda when I don't need a 35th coffee @ work ...... so I just read the label in a meeting and scared myself to death / cracked myself up which made it appear I really care about what was said in the meeting I guess......it says "100% natural flavors" but also it says "no natural juices" ...........so what are the natural flavors then?.......I dunno, it just says "natural flavors" in the actual ingredients list. Wtf ?!?! Apparently a "pineapple" has never come near this stuff in any way ..... On the plus side it also says "Yellow 5" and "Yellow 6" are totally in this .......... but not Yellow 7, 8 or 9 which is good........wait..........unless those are the healthy yellows that I truly need

Artificial flavors are the ones that don't exist naturally and are elaborated by a creator.

Casually, today, I've read 3 separate times online (by I assume 3 separate people, instead of just one lunatic dude re-posting it everywhere - though those people are out there....and on MAR, um) that The Northman's so-so box office is "no different from Vertigo". I guess, but The Northman - whether you like it or not - isn't in any way remotely fncking close to Vertigo - so why waste the space of typing that BS anyway ........and this is being argued passionately

Agreed. I'm an ass man. However, the post in question was in reference to Birthday Girl Kirsten Dunst... but it got moved from that thread for reasons. Boobs.

I recently read somewhere that certain celebs get as much as $500K per post for Instagram promotional posts. Guys don't you think movie stars and rockstars are egregiously overpaid at times? Or is it just my jealousy talking? I mean $500k for one fucking post?!

........Thoughts on The Sex Pistols.....Adèle Haenel ....and "Rebellion" in Your Art FormI've been thinking about this a lot, since Haenel "retired" but not so much about that - her (privileged, it is thx) retirement I already covered her in that thread - but rather on her walkout when Roman Polanski won Best Director at the César Awards and what an artist's "rebellion" against their industry "means".........when it's genuine and when it is not really.....and how we misread it and overvalue one at least. The Sex Pistols ( at first) wth no "place" in their industry that they were protesting against - created Art (wrote it, recorded it, played it, performed it) to overthrow their artistic medium - while working for Warner Brothers and Universal - literally stealing their money. It may "appear" a mere act but their act was better than the real thing - they were outsiders upsetting the formal structure - and that can only be done by those outside the industry. It was as close to genuine anarchy as possible. Adèle Haenel by comparison couldn't be more of an insider - she merely acted in her Art for others .......for a system she was a part of - and for many studios that created the Art that she cynically took part and participated in - FOR YEARS - and that had already awarded her 2 Cesars and millions of dollars. The racist and sexists she decries gave her everything and her act of rebellion came too late ........we want to empathisize with her and her "points" but her behavior could not be any more hollow because of who she is or change what it portends to. One ( The Sex Pistols) was an act of rebellion and genuine anarchy even if it was calculated - the other is an act of entitlement and wealth even if that is not the intent. For Haenel's "walkout" to make sense then and not merely be bratty ......she would need to have then " become a Cassavetes" - change her Art - and don't show up at the fncking Cesars in an expensive dress when you knew all along Polanski's was "likely" to win an award (because he deserved the award, his fncking FIFTH, no?) and then act all outraged and shocked about it - like you are shocked - shocked! - at the outcome. Give back your Cesars ..........give your dirty systemic money away........when he got nominated don't go..... These acts were against each others Art form........you might think they're similar........I'm saying.......they're not.......one is deeply felt but on some level false and performative (Haenel) the other is less sincere and on some level "truer". Ironic, huh?

I really like matching with attractive girls on Tinder whether I meet them or not. I've had only like 12-15 tho in my life (most aren't matched anymore) that I suspected weren't spam or fake.

I found out yesterday Johnny Marr is a city fan like those Gallagher clowns. I thought all of the Smiths were United fans!? No wonder Morrissey [rightfully] hates his guts!
