what's a metaphor?hypothemicDecember 13 2003, 16:05:01 UTC
i always wondered what would happen if you took the blue and the red pills at the same time. crushed them up in the same spoon and injected them. into the jugular. wouldn't that be a trip! >)
i don't mind fiction, as long as i know it's fiction, and learn from it. though potentially dangerous, that's what metas are for, right?
Can I just tell you how relieved I am that I'm not the only one who didn't find the MATRIX films to be an earth-shattering end-all-be-all pinnacle of filmmaking? Many older Eastern religions had hold of this concept cneturies ago. They called it maya, and they readily acknowledged it was the comfortable preference of the masses.
I'm up to book six of Transmetropolitan. Dig the bit where the president jerks off into the flag quite a bit.
As for your essay, you been readin' Promethea any? I'm not sure if that counts as a superhero book, but the basic idea is the destruction of the material plane for an imaginary one. I don't think that's the worst idea I've ever heard, personally. Sure, the bombs would become bigger and the monsters would have sharper teeth, but the sun would shine brighter and music would be just a blink of an eye away. I'm not for an Apocolypse, but I am for change, and if change means letting the crazy ideas that should never be become reality, why the Hell not, it can't get too much worse here, now can it?
Hee, fancy seeing you here! The only thing I can even recall "Prey"-wise is that god awful Birds of Prey series...am now envisioning several Hyde children in leather costumes jumping around on rooftops.
I will get you back for this. I don't know how, but I will. Maybe I can tie it in with my whole killing Kyle thing. Hmmm.
Oh, anyway, yes. I have discovered what sort of problems fiction I write unleashes on the world, but so far I think that the truth has gotten me far more trouble. I don't know if you were around for me telling my ex ex roommates to clean their house in my journal, but that was...interesting times, lemme tell ya.
