Dude:
I really want to understand your fascination with those "shows & movies" you have... they are so filled with violence... how can you feel good going to sleep at night after letting them into your psyche?
Me:
Dude, it's like history, okay? Plus- they're just fun to watch!
Dude:
No, 'fun' is making love, or swimming in the parts of the ocean that aren't toxic. Watching people kill each other on archival viewey isn't 'fun'!
Me:
Tell that to the Cylons.
Dude:
What??
Me:
Look, just sample a Firefly episode and see; it's really cool.
Dude:
I've seen that old series with all those puppets-
Me:
No! That's Farscape! I mean the one with the whole anti-government-mind & life control message...
Dude:
I just have to ask you, where's that get fun? I mean, we aren't THERE anymore! We have a world where we have both less and more than ever. Less population, and more egalitarianism. Those old vids just potentially pollute our minds.
Me:
Heh heh, you said "Where's that get fun?"
Dude:
What??
Me:
Nothing. Look, call me retro, but I enjoy the pre-CGmator flicks that used REAL actors in situations that involved rebelling against injustice & corporate-government manipulation.
Dude:
Okay, but what about that cadre of fragile semi-toxic outgassing plastic replics you constantly tout in your blogzines?
Me:
You must wonder where I get all those wonderful toys from.
Dude:
What??
Me:
No Nicholson fan, clearly. Whatever. They're MODELS. Physical. You can, you know, PLAY with them.
Dude:
We *play* with ElEcTron images now.
Me:
The play's the thing, else you will catch the conscious of the king.
Dude:
Shakespeare.
Me:
Trek.
