E3 passed and I didn’t give a shit.  You might think that makes me less of a gamer, but almost certainly my Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup skills will demolish yours.  Gaming, even specifically computer gaming, is a wide enough space that you can live your days as a robustly engaged hobbyist and literally never intersect games played with another equally enthusiastic hobbyist differing solely on taste.  Obviously.   There was a time when E3 interested me but after finding a few later beloved AAA releases to be real boring I backed off and haven’t been back.  Does that read like someone got a little defensive a co-host muscled in on his subject territory?

I was watching a little docuseries on Joseph Campbell about his Hero With A Thousand Faces.  If you’re not familiar with him he was a comparative mythology/comparative religious scholar, who wrote pretty important works about heroes and the nature of heroes.  He also coined the phrase “follow your bliss.”  The documentary sort of started out about him but very quickly became mostly about him analyzing Star Wars.  Go ahead and Google “Joseph Campbell Star Wars” and you can see that there is an awful lot of effort made connecting them.  This documentary in particular seemed to be feeding two types of associations: one: Star Wars and literary credibility, two: Joseph Campbell and Star Wars fans.  Campbell was pretty rambly in the documentary.

We’re pretty rambly too.  As much as I would like it to be so I do not think that our obsessing over these films is really an effort which penetrates the cultural zeitgeist.  We are more likely following our bliss in the egoist sense.  Is it too much that we shower you with these obsessions?

Here we are again advertising Disney products.

I’m kind of fascinated by the tension between lowbrow and highbrow entertainment.  Like… opera, highbrow, mma, lowbrow.  Why?  In parts of the world, at times, mma would have been far and away more highbrow than controlled screaming.  It wasn’t too long ago that actors were so filthy and base that they had to ply their trade outside of city limits.  Shakespeare’s company’s theater, The Globe was across the Thames for this reason.  Here we are now breathlessly analyzing lowbrow film for forty five Goddamned minutes like it’s the pulse of our civilization.

Maybe we’re just really into Disney products.

I’ve been soaking in the news for the last few weeks.

Tuesday this week, I spent at least four or five hours tossing and turning in bed, my mind flailing against politics half way around the world that I only understand 1/10th of (if that) and that affects me in my day to day life not a jot.

Calvin prayed to his television so:  “Oh, great altar of passive entertainment… Bestow upon me thy discordant images at such speed as to render linear thought impossible!” (I got 75% of it without Binging it I swear).  Good prayer.  But he couldn’t imagine just how much the content cannon of Reddit could make TV seem tedious and stale.

Jimmy said:  “Please please please play the whole damn song / A 2 minute song is just one minute and 59 seconds / Too goddamn long” and he’s not fucking wrong.  These days if the page takes longer than a half second to load I am the fuck outta there.

This must be all tied together but I don’t have the attention span left to sort it out.
