Friends and Criticism

Pick-pick-pick. Pick pick-pick-pick. 

I'm a critic, I pick things apart. To see how it works, for something to do, to talk shit.

You might see me reviewing or mocking a major motion picture. I don't know the people involved so there is a bit of distance. I wouldn't do this with a friend's work. Not in public at least.

In my view, most movies are not great, and often boringly cliched. I'm not going to say that about a friend's movie in public, that would make me an asshole. Even if I critiqued it privately, I wouldn't be that blunt. I don't mind it, though, critique my stuff. I'd prefer if it's something I could actually work on though. 

Heehee.

I'm proud of people for making things at all, that takes effort. I respect that you made a movie! That in itself is very fucking difficult!

By all means, I wouldn't want people to not create, even if you suck. Though I prefer those who don't suck to create of course. Maybe suck can refine into super. Maybe you must walk before you super.

  1. Mike a month ago said most people are just consumers. Those people are not expressing their humanity. Humans are not designed to just consume things. People who create are the ones who are on the right path to success. Not that theres anything wrong with a little consumption. Its ok to enjoy a movie or enjoy a ball game here and there. But we should increase our creation to consumption ratio. And 100% what you said people should create even if they suck at it! You gotta start somewhere right!? Thats how you make your life more interesting AND people will really admire you for it! Just like you are doing with these drawings and writeups on your blog!
