Wise words

So how long did you serve?

Yes, I will join the military when they start protecting America.

@@carolyna.869 Really, I always presumed the US military required at least a modicum of intelligence.

​@@imwelshjesusno, just a girl with a dyk, will do.

Mamet told an anecdote about the time that he considered renting an office to go to and write in: A rental agent welcomed him, walked him down a hallway, opened a door to a compact room, and said, "It has a window also." Mamet said, "I don't need a window," and ended the visit.

Awesome 😅 Not much going on, but speaks volumes.

That’s a purposefully glib response.

As for the idiotic Jesus quip, What a stupid, irrelevant, out of context self-righteous thing to say.

Not many of us have what Jesus had...

He went humbly and willingly to his death. He couldn't have been killed unless he obeyed God who willed it. His will was the same as his Fathers! His comment was just ignorant.

You said--God bless you.--Kevin Whelan

Amen!

Work smart, not hard.

Lol same here (re: the teachers). The book is hilarious, but it's been taking me a while to read because his style is so eccentric and I struggle to keep up with his intellect. Lots of wisdom for aspiring writers.

Never called lazy, to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift

MIT: material AND spiritual warfare.

No way! That movie is Amazing. 👍

I took a theater class that Mamet taught, while at college. It was as fantastic as you would imagine.

H.B.Studio?

I love The Edge movie. Dialogue just flows.

Every aspiring writer should study his plays--in particular, "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," "American Buffalo," and, "Glengarry Glen Ross." His screenplays for, "The Untouchables," "Homicide," and "Hoffa" are solid, too.

No it doesn't. Guess you don't know who David Mamet is.

Definitely more profanity.

Andrew Klavan is less interesting than David Mamet is, however.

I believe he was referring to his personal rabbi which he may have named in previous interviews.

I believe most of the good people you mentioned are too old to have been sufficiently brainwashed.

I’m exhausted of the right shoving their religious beliefs into legislation and their anti American rhetoric

@@surlypiratewench1969 The only religion I see being shoved on everybody is Progressive Leftist Cultural Marxism, and make no mistake, it's a religion. Anybody who thinks man made climate change is real needs to have their head examined. Even IF all the rise in the CO2 level came from human activity, and there's no proof it's not natural, you're talking about an increase of 0.01% of the atmosphere. For that we have to sacrifice the lives of tens of millions of the poorest people on the planet, and even if we do it, it won't change the worlds temperature by even 1/10 of a degree. Then there's the LGBTQ religion being pushed on school children so they can cut their genitals off and take drugs used to chemically castrate rapists, they're being sterilized, that's freaking eugenics, they grow up realize they can't procreate and they kill themselves. Then theirs the assisted suicide program in Canada where I live, they want to extend it with a quota of 10,000 disabled people every year, even though they can't get a single guardian or medical professional to agree with it, so the government says they'll train technicians to do it. We also now have free and legal hard drugs for addicts, overdoses have skyrocketed. Then there's Covid and the vaccines, a person has to be blind not to notice the vaccinated are dying faster than the unvaccinated. There's the support for the Ukraine Nazis that's fed two generations of Ukrainians into a meat grinder, completely avoidable. There's partial birth abortion, there's the jump in the suicide rate since 1970 among divorced men that's killed more men in Canada than either WW1 or WW2 or the American civil war in the U.S. If 500,000 extra dead women happened after no fault divorce was introduced Feminists would be screaming about it, because the victims are male nobody cares. The patriarchy theory supporting it is exactly modeled on the World Wide Jewish conspiracy, they just changed the nouns from Jew to male and Aryan to female. When you look at the number of men a typical divorce court judge will deal with that go on to kill themselves those judges are serial killers. They are compelled to take their own lives because the judgements handed down are so onerous they're reduced to slavery. My point being, any philosophy not from God leads to death, and everything emanating out of the Left leads to death, because the Left have become a death cult pushing their religious beliefs on everybody else.

The movie poor things absolutely tedious Artists they're all looking over each other shoulders fear of been nabbed by some woke sin

@@Profile451but it got such great reviews?! 😂😂😂😂 Not my kind of movie.

@@carolmcln5028poor things apt title to a dismal poor frightfull movie the sound track was terrible, one dimensional with no poetry. I did like Movie lobster expected more ,a lot more llfrom the director, Art doesn't have tMoral,but it has to be poetic. Woke film's lack,

We are in both as there are different flavors of democracy. The republic version is the one we live in.

The dude wrote Glengarry Glenn Ross. Some of the most brilliant dialogue in stage and cinema history.

@@reharl4953 I agree with you

Beginning in the 1990s, I stopped watching most first-run Hollywood movies and "HBO specials," since so many of them seemed to conform to propagandistic norms.

@@milletrad8871 That comment is pathetic and filled with paranoia on the part of people who have been MISLED by RIGHT-WING LUNATICS who hate Hollywood as such!

Whats it about?

Definitely. They’re both great writers and they know what the audience wants to see.

There is no E in Klavan lol

Maybe when Jesus asked God to take the cup from Him at the garden of gethsenamy ? His anxiety? I’m not sure. Just a guess .

@@becky6568 You mean where Jesus says, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will"? That qualifies as "kicking and shouting"? In what way, exactly? How about another guess: Mamet's use of hyperbole in this instance is very sloppy and very imprecise-if not unfair.

I know everyone complains about the ads during the KZfaq videos and maybe I’ll get yelled at for saying it but the company is making inroads into children’s programming without the woke garbage. Programming you won’t need to vet if you let your child watch. Making their own movies and a great bulk of documentary programming on a wide range of subject matter. Movie/series offerings which improve steadily. Podcasts and videos for their several personalities etc etc. If you don’t want to see the ads you can buy a membership which isn’t that expensive especially if you go for the basic package which is about $9/month which almost everyone can afford. They’re a great conservative company founded and still controlled by conservatives, they showcase a variety of personalities, sometimes with wildly divergent views on specific issues but they never police those views. It costs a LOT of money to engage in the programming they are offering. You don’t have to agree with them all the time but you have to respect the dedication and the talent it took to develop the company. A dedication which continues to shine through especially if you’ve been watching the arc of its development since its infancy. I don’t really begrudge the ads if I’m watching on KZfaq which I still do sometimes when I’m just too lazy to load DW even though I do have a membership.

What made it bonkers?

Seems like they all have to preach in some way.

@@carolmcln5028Totally agree!!

Hard-hitting simplicity.

To what?
