Well put. Also the rest of greg's post. But that sentence says it all. I'm mourning about the death of Williams similar to how I would be mourning if my favorite chocolate candy bar was taken off the market (or probably a bit less, as he wasn't one of my favorite actors), though I do aknowledge that he was also a person, bla bla.

To please the majority is the requirement of the Planet Cinema. As far as I'm concerned, I don't make a concession to viewers, these victims of life, who think that a film is made only for their enjoyment, and who know nothing about their own existence. letterboxd * tumblr * website | |

I understand and respect that you're not happy with my mourning (or my way of mourning) KFV, but honestly there's nothing I can do about it. I'm mourning, that's that. And the way is of course completely personal and though it might seem similar to the way others feel, deep down it's not, cause my associations and reasons are my own. As they are for everyone else. |

this is very liberal usage of the word mourning and that's sort of my point. you're treating this human being like a chocolate bar let's bust an analogy out here 1) bob: snickers was taken off the market jim: oh i don't care about that. i don't like snickers anyway 2) bob: snickers was taken off the market jim: oh that sucks! i loved snickers 3) bob: robin williams died jim: oh i don't care about that. i don't like robin williams anyway 4) bob: robin williams died jim: oh that sucks! i loved robin williams 1 and 2 are acceptable social behaviour. 3 isn't. why not? because it's treating human life with a flippancy more appropriate for discussions about chocolate bars. the relationship between 3 and 1 is identical to the relationship between 4 and 2. thus, if the flippancy in 3 is more appropriate for discussions about chocolate bars (1), then the flippancy in 4 is also more appropriate for discussions about chocolate bars (2) so you see? saying "oh that sucks! i loved robin williams" is just as flippant as saying "oh i don't care about that. i don't like robin williams anyway" |

I see nothing wrong with #3. Sometimes when people die, it doesn't affect me, and if Robin Williams were one of them, that would be my prerogative. I might argue that "Finally dead, hooray! Robin Williams was such a turd!" was indefensible... Or I might not. Edited by Lencho of the Apes, Aug 14 2014, 04:10 AM.

I don't know what you're talking about. All I said was basically that "I respect that you don't give a shit about Williams dying" and that "I mourn him like I would a passing of a great chocolate bar" - or smoething similar. Don't know which is or isn't (more) of an acceptable social behaviour and don't care. Maybe it's fun for you developing some societal and/or philosophical ideas about this (which i don't get), so whatever. Edited by wba, Aug 19 2014, 11:42 PM.
