Where are the dual-wielded crossbows again? I must have missed that part in English class.

Hamlet killed and died with a poison sword.
Nodaisho:
Without slow motion and jazz music, it still isn't as cool.
Surgoshan:
Have you ever tried falling in slow motion without the aid of a camera? It is hard.
And you can't fault Shakespeare for the lack of jazz any more than you can fault him for the lack of cheaply available flocks of doves.
Seriously. Woo loves flocks of doves. Possibly literally.

I can't imagine people would read twilight on the beach. Too much sunlight.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor on 06 Aug 2009, 13:19 ---I really don't want to throw stones at any particular people, but something I notice with a lot of people, this applies to painting as well, is people seem to like anything just because it's avant-garde. Being unusual and being good are not one and the same thing. To continue this theme, large amounts of everything William Burroughs wrote is utter tosh.
--- End quote ---
Being unusual and being good may not be the same thing but being unusual and being interesting frequently are, and if you're interesting then you're halfway there to being good anyway. Some fiction I enjoy simply because it's a good story well told but a lot of the time I want works that will present the world to me in new ways and that's where the avant-garde comes in. Novelty for its own sake is of course pointless but in the new and different work of any period is usually where you'll find most of the really great artists.
