Greg said over on the livejournal thread that, especially early on, the Hannah Montana TV show got over on its writing more than its acting, except that Miley is catching up as an actress. I only saw one episode, and an old one at that, but I wasn't pulled away from the story by seeing any obvious incompetence. I thought they should have ratcheted up the embarrassment more, since the premise of the episode was that dad gives Miley clothes that embarrass her. I did think she had a certain rapport with the bloke who plays her father. But as I said over on lj, the most alive thing on the show was the ridiculous dance Miley and Oliver do under the final credits.

"emo is a synonym for crap" isn't really a "challenging" opinion though, is it? Like, if you went on that assumption, would you be missing out on awesome music? I doubt it.

Someone should start a rolling "ILXors whom Dom has beef with/grudge against" thread for lulz.

Hmmmm - I don't care about Dr. C calling emo crap but he's very very RONG with the implication that Sebadoh and Superchunk were either emo or crap.

i thought "challenging opinions" was not actually a place for challenging opinions to be listed, but a place for things to be listed that the poster themself falsely believes to be a challenging opinion

He's so pretentious. It's amazing how, even though I don't really care to keep up with his career, every time I see him he manages to do something incredibly arrogant and self-indulgent that shocks me. That Grammy speech where he acts incredibly rude and conceited (the recent 2008 version) is another example of this. Telling the band to stop playing the music because he wants to go over the allotted time restriction and talk about his mother is a another example. If he hadn't started out his speech talking about how he "owned" the Grammy's and made the awards show his new home he'd have enough time to talk about how his mom is proud of him in heaven when she watches rap videos of her son, but he didn't think it through.

People are hating this movie for the rong reasons. They're getting worked up about the "issue" of abortion, when the movie isn't a morality tale or an after-school special. It's a comedy about a singular person in an individual situation. Then they're mad because of all the "indie signifiers", because they are still under the delusion that they somehow possess the magic key to jaded enlightenment and non-mainstream culture, as if these music / artists / or ideals will never cross over. Like, "Hey, other assholes are listening to MY MUSIC, and to add insult to injury, they're thriftshopping too!" Get over it.

In its mass-market designs, it represents the oversaturation of a particular "indie" aesthetic that had started to grow stale by the end of the 1990s but somehow took on a new place by being subsumed into the mainstream in the early-to-mid 2000s with Seth Cohen wearing ringer tees on The O.C. and Modest Mouse in car commercials and such.

i have no idea what the fuck that even means -- like prior to BW the western powers had no sway in (what became the) third world, or that after BW broke down it hasn't.

my line applied to pretty much everything posted on that thread, but the bretton woods bit annoyed me because it was just so CHALLENGING.

it hasn't --> they haven't.

ah ok, I see what you're saying. So maybe I also misunderstand this thread, b/c I'm thinking "challenging opinions" means arrogant assertions of things that are obvious, but maybe it's more just arrogant assertions period.

Hitchens's rhetorical style is almost as faulty as the religious people he criticizes. Take a bite out of this, homos:

There are also those who think that Romney's disowning of past Mormon polygamy is too opportunistic, since the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does still offer the consolation prize of multiple wives in heaven (just like the sick dream of Mohamed Atta).

What purpose does making that comparison serve other than to associate Romney with an established Enemy of America (EoA)? It mistakes degree and extent based on casual association to a shallow, muckrakey effect.

yeah maybe im being harsh but i remember that book being like a better-written bernard lewis screed, a lot of "islam is a backwards and militaristic religion" etc etc... i sort of assumed his jaw had dropped at "oh my how barbaric islam is!!" but i might have misinterpreted him

no, i mean that was how i read it, too, but i am weirdly sympathetic to people who admit having that reaction to islam, maybe because i expect that every nonmuslim secretly harbors it?

Amidst all the buzz about a black American's chance to become the next US President, let's consider an even more remarkable achievement: a black American is currently poised to revitalise Enka, the genre of trad balladry post-war Japan liked to get drunk and sentimental listening to. The man in question is 26 year-old Jerome White Junior, raised in Pittsburgh. In Japan they just call him Jero.

dude these are never that annoying. it's better than people whose every post is riven with must-toe-the-party-line non-committal tedium. only people who get annoyed by this are people with no opinions

Hah.

any grown adult who's part of any subculture is highly suspect

I tend to judge whether or not people are "suspect" based on how they treat other people, their ethics, intellect, etc., not on what they're into -- let alone thinking they're suspect based on the fact that they're into something at all. Give me someone who's passionate about something, even if it's something that sucks, any day over some anhedonic fucker who sits in the corner sneering. That shit got old when we were eighteen.

nylund is a straight up d-bag nonetheless imo

won't dispute it

Some people post with words that say "Up With People!" but with a subtext that says "Whatever Your Opinion is Fuck You"

Also, it depends how you define 'work' - the Soviet Union was doing pretty well on its own terms till external forces (and its rather overenthusiastic expansionism) brought in down. And Cuba does a passable imitation of a fully functioning society less than a hundred miles from the undisputed idealogical centre of global capitalism!

I really don't see what's so scandalous about saying Damien Hirst is a fake; even if you buy an original, you're still buying a fake-- a scam which is only made possible in a place like poor, gullible, London, with its self-hating and deluled arts establishment and all that foreign money floating around. I do not blame him, I blame the philistines from the Turner Prize etc. BTW I'm not Momus or anyone else from ILE/M. And stop betting, that's a barbaric habit.

It's the subliminal fact that every single one of your posts ends with "I know, right?"

I know, right? is meant to sound like perky teen-movie cheerleader character, so that's not really what I was going for.

then the lj confusion was self-inflicted

"I Know, Right?" could actually be the name of a perky teen-cheerleader movie. Possibly from the creators of Juno and Fuckface's Ultimate Playlist.

i dunno whats overrated about it, everyone on ilx likes to talk about how flawed it is so

i think it might have been a bit over-effusively praised especially when it came out and ppl were all like, this is a lock for best picture, and that kind of slight critical exaggeration is kind of ilx contrarian bait

Plus it was down as #1 film on the IMDB 250 for fucking ages, which, correct me if I'm wrong, hunks of shit like In Bruges and Happy-Go-Lucky never were.
