they're an affectionate parody of something that's unremittingly awful in real life. so thank god morbius is a jolly felt puppet, cuz otherwise...

tbh this is all that matters to me; Morbs #1

morbs doesn't anger me; i would characterize it as irritation.
i mean, i don't care if he likes or doesn't like tarantino, or whoever. i can't stand p.t. anderson's films, and i've had interesting conversations with people who love them. at a certain point, we just agree to disagree (maybe one of us has caused the other to rethink things in a way that might pay off months or years later). so this isn't about taste (although, it is irksome that morbius thinks that by announcing his distaste for something he seems to feel like he's upsetting the ILX hivemind or something, when in fact lots and lots of people--even on this site!--share this or that opinion with him). it's a question of how you argue, how you interact with other people--whether you show any respect for them by acknowledging a difference of opinion and then exchange the feelings and/or reasoning behind those opinions. or just needle them over and over and over and etc. about how they are wrong/stupid/predictable and you are not.

or at least if you are just gonna say "yeah, i don't really like back to the future," you can do it in a straightforward --not nasty, not judgmental--way that doesn't imply a total lack of respect for those of a different opinion.
in other words, suggest ban.

I have made my peace with QT. ultimately, we just get off on different things. but i do admire the seeming sincerity he has for his material (there always seems to be an emotional core to his movies, and you get the feeling that this stuff, this way of interpreting the world, really resonates for him). I am anticipating this!
― ryan, Thursday, 12 April 2012 22:15 (1 year ago) Permalink
yes, anticipating this!
i sort of doubt it will blow open the windows of my mind but i can't imagine it will be less than entertaining.

xxpost if that's the grounds for banning morbs, it's grounds for banning a whole bunch of other posters who are also generally cool people.
...is my feeling, anyway.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 12 April 2012 22:16 (1 year ago) Permalink
he's totally disrespectful on ILX, which is why I don't mind mocking him here even though I enjoy the guy's presence when we're both at glamorous NY gatherings. But I don't get the point of being po-faced about it; it's pretty clear he doesn't give a fuck so Flag Post, zing or ignore.
― da croupier, Thursday, 12 April 2012 22:16 (1 year ago) Permalink
I think the grounds for banning morbs are that he triggers constant derails that are focused on morbs.

...i think i've also managed to not really condescend to QT anymore...like, he does, in my opinion, take the themes and emotions of his films seriously. and maybe my predilection for the po-faced philosophical engagement of a Kubrick or a Malick is simply that and doesn't mean that QT can't find life lessons in kung fu films. i mean, shit, that's practically what kung fu films are always hitting you over the head with!

he looks so much like kenneth branagh in Wild Wild West there, suddenly tarantino writing the lead role for will smith makes so much sense now
