David Mamet's Conversion Story (Beware foul language)

Reason ^ | June 2, 2011 | Kurt Loder

[Borges]

Orwell never converted. He was a socialist all of his life - just not a Stalinist.

[DManA]

If he’d said that AFTER his conversion I presume he’d have said APPLE pie. ggggg

I would think when it came to David Mamet, the foul-language alert was implicit already.

Oh my, your tongue must have been chewed to rags with that discourse. I hope that, with your tongue so far in your cheek, you can get it back out by the end of the month.

Just saw her in “All About Eve.” She of the “Copacabana School of Acting.” She is, indeed, very funny. The funniest? I don’t know about that but she was a luminous screen presence. Mamet has always had some weird ideas on the art of acting. He’s written a book about that, too. (Mostly to get young actors to say the lines of his plays accurately, lol!)

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

So, Mamet finally looked at the real world and decided generations of socialist bullshit has resulted in nothing but misery?

He is a got-dang genius to spend a lifetime on finally concluding the obvious.

The man should have been a rocket scientist.

Doh!

It wasn't my tongue that was in jeopardy, but I did get a feel for with it takes to have ones head up their a$$. I could say it was eye opening but who can see when your head is so positioned.

Gives one insight as to how hard the Left has to work to believe what they believe.

They can't see $hIt, nor can they recognize $hIt when they have their head - well - where they usually keep their heads.

I remember Kurt Loder when he was writing punk rock reviews for Trouser Press.

Here is Mamet's original "comming out" in the Vilage VOice of all places!

If you ignore the commentary and editorializing (aka “news”) the music isn’t too bad. And Prairie Home Companion IS funny, even if Garrison Keilor is a complete @$$.
