Well…so far I’m going to Art Hell…but I’m definitely trying to give the Universe her U back so thanks for giving me another way of thinking about this particular issue and adding more fuel to the creativity fire.

Fuck CJ, this is so good. You simultaneously swiftly kicked my ass and articulated things I’ve been feeling for years, while also weirdly offering comfort for those feelings (or at least I somehow feel comforted after watching this??). Thanks for the love*.

God I love how you synthesize so much stuff I have learned in my own existence in ways that give me a language to explore stuff even further and actually synthesize it myself also I despise you bc I have thoughts about synthesizing plato, wittgenstein and kendrick lamar and it hurts my brain good stuff

So I work in theatre and found the Star Wars bit super interesting. Theatre being an inherently ephemeral artform means it's different every night, and always evolving depending on so many different factors. I've done shows where the audience has been unengaged one night and then super engaged the next night and we're ostensibly doing the same thing both times but it feels completely different and the actors give better or worse performances based on the energy in the room. One of my favourite directors did Hamlet with Andrew Scott and tells a story about how one night he got his bank account hacked just as he was about to go on and so the meaning of the play shifted dramatically to be more focussed on mistrust, lies, suspicion, compared to the ways it had been performed other nights. I love seeing modern directors taking a classic play and reworking them for today's audiences. All of this is what I love about theatre. So why do I get mad if someone changes a movie or when a remake gets announced? Is it that the kind of theatre I'm talking about is authentically responsive to the moment , whereas too often the same things done in movies too often feels like a cynical nostalgia-bait cash grab?

i can't feel anything when i make or see art. what do i do im scared

Ingibjörg Ólafsdóttir

I don't know how I feel yet but I love this. You articulated my feelings so well and yet, somehow I'm speechless. Thank you for your work! I've watched twice already and will probably watch over and over again. Now I need to stop watching and start creating!

Fun fact about Star Wars that's not actually relevant to the point made in the video while still being a fun fact I can pull out of the past and try to sound impressively relevant because I happen to know it: I'm old enough to have seen Star Wars first run in theaters--yes, this fun fact is all about me--enjoy. I remember finding the novelization of the movie at the bookstore BEFORE the movie came out. I remember finding the first issue of the comic book adaptation of the movie on the spinner rack at the Lake Tahoe North Shore 7-11 BEFORE the movie came out. Yes, this is relevant. In both the comic book and the novelization, Greedo shoots first, which means it was always in the script that Greedo shot first. This means George Lucas' original intent was for Greedo to shoot first--am I spelling Greedo right--never mind. Han Solo blasting Greedo in unprovoked and premeditated cold blood was a directorial/editorial decision that actively improved the movie and made Han Solo a much more interesting, active character. So regardless of how much else was bullshit about why the special editions exist, Greedo shooting first was something that may have actually been bugging George Lucas for years and years and years.

I sent this video to my critical analysis teacher at the art university I go to and he responded with this (formatting too): Yowza... They are like Ricky and Morty in one person discovering Warhol. They certainly have An Opinion! They are healthy. Extraordinary display of Procrastination. I got to 10 minutes, and started to agree with them, so I stopped.

Yet another video with a message I needed to hear. Brilliant! Thank you! Now, back to making art….

i loved this video! that bit about the insult "pretentious" really got to me. now whenever i feel tempted to call something "pretentious" in any context, not just art, i hear your voice challenging me to find another way to say my grievances. oftentimes i think when we say "pretentious" we really mean "elitist", "redundant", or "superficial", which are all better ways to critique mindless superiority. also now i want to continue my stupid idiot fan-fiction, which was probably not your intention but woe!! unintended consequences be on you!!!

Perfect timing. I’m a creative who recently got fired and was debating if I wanted more corporate hell and its warm comfy paychecks.
