Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
Real curious to see how deep a hole Cleese can dig himself down into once this new show starts airing.

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
I really don't think this shit was always there. I think he's been radicalised by rich buddies. That Idle interview you shared the other day was spot on when Eric referenced Cleese. Let him watch the TV and go to bed.Low Down Low wrote: ↑10 Oct 2022, 2:35pmDr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Oct 2022, 1:18pmCleese will not go gentle into that good night, he'll rage against all these snowflake totalitarians: https://www.avclub.com/john-cleese-mont ... 1849637884

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
The sad irony is that, of course, this has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Cleese and his ilk don't want to be criticized, only praised for punching down. Unlike the young man he once was, this isn't about challenging norms and winning over the doubters; it's whining and seeking reassurance hugs from other aggrieved babies.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Oct 2022, 3:00pmI really don't think this shit was always there.

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
Gilliam's positions have actually made me look again at his previous work and find it stupider and less considered than I'd previously thought.Kory wrote: ↑10 Oct 2022, 3:15pmGilliam has been in this camp with Cleese a lot lately too.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Oct 2022, 3:00pmI really don't think this shit was always there.

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
Given a chance to interview Cleese, I'd politely ask him to elucidate exactly what his positions that would get him "cancelled" are and the reasons why that might be the case.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Oct 2022, 3:18pmThe sad irony is that, of course, this has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

Every damn one of these crybabies should be expected to both define the mechanics of "cancelling" and how it's distinct from criticism and consequence.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Oct 2022, 3:22pmGiven a chance to interview Cleese, I'd politely ask him to elucidate exactly what his positions that would get him "cancelled" are and the reasons why that might be the case.

Rei: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
That is grim. Only watched a Bolsonaro doc a few weeks ago in which Greenwald features as a prominent and very vocal critic. Don't really pay enough attention to him to know what strange, twisted workings of the mind are going on there.Flex wrote: ↑10 Oct 2022, 2:57pmGreenwald is even caping for Bolsonaro in the service of lib-owning.
