Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience
Ouch! I'm sure people from long ago would have been able to express sufficiently what they wanted to express. I am sure ancient knowledge in some ways probably was far superior to our current knowledge. I know people like to believe that we are the most advanced but something tells me that's rubbis...

Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience
some schmos observation about the reader creating richness is certainly valid. Comparing books with movies books have the possible advantage of being richer ,more complicated and longer. About 1970 I was a bit of a fan of Kesey's Sometimes a Great Notion. I was horrified by what they did with it ma...

Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience
Yeah, and I think this is why we've often heard, "The book is better than the movie" or why people are so often disappointed by a movie not being faithful to the source material. Maybe it is faithful, just not interpreted the same way you did. If you're making up half the story in your imagination,...

Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience
I've heard a few people allude to this idea, but it strikes me odd that it is not more apparent and more discussed. Any time you read a piece of fiction, you are doing at least half the work in the story's creation. You read the words on the page, and if you're an interested participant (i. e. you ...

Potential 2024 ‘Chaos’: Election Deniers Refusing to Certify Results This seems to be a growing, dangerous and scary trend.

Re: 2024 Election Campaign MEGATHREAD
Of course, we've all known for quite some time the GOP will say whatever they think they need to in order to gain/retain power, but it's nice to see one of them admit it. Here is another surprising admission -- from the current co-chairman of the RNC, no less! RNC Chair Says Americans Are Better of...

Re: Which of you have already purchased an EV?
My daughter and her husband have two EVs. They love them. They are both working professionals and use them primarily for commuting to and from work. As long as they stay in the city (Phoenix) they are okay. As for longer trips, they are screwed. The range is limited. Charging stations are few and f...

Which of you have already purchased an EV?
If so, what kind did you purchase, and what is your overall impression of it? Do you still love it, or do you wish you never bought it? What, if anything, don't you like about it? I hope to own one before I die, when I finally find one I like in my price range. I have tried test driving a few, inclu...
