i didn't comment on the television show, because taste i had for Joss Whedon went extinct during his subpar writing on the XMen and because i consider it to be irrelevant. i'd suggest his inspiration for his ideas comes mostly from the internet.
i didn't comment on your parrelled story, because it is history. it was sort of interesting though, so thanks. i prefer the technnical manual stuff more really though.
honestly, i was sort of rude, so i apologize. i find approximately half of the things you say to be extremely informative and well-researched. I think perhaps you sometimes misapply this half to your daily routine and that some of these links are probably unlikely at best.
"Oh, Neil says..." As if that means sugar and light.
Hey, Spielberg has explanations for things, too. So?
i am open to the idea that he has more idea where his ideas come from than you do, yes.
i have no opinion as to Spielberg. If I were to guess, i'd say his propogandizing, which is real, is either indirect (he doesn't know about it) and/or genuinely subjectively (his POV) benevolent in nature. Some of it is probably his romanticism. (i.e. heroism worship in general and attached romantic idealisms and their inevitably propogation as military recruiting, i.e. chivalry)
And did you have a "personal coversation"with GENERAL ELECTRIC, one of the world's biggest weapons makers, since Focus Features is their 'art film' division giving us 'Coraline?'
no. did you?
i'd suggest its only relatively recent existence and His assumedly guarunteed cult audience had something to do with it.
GE are generally known for good business sense.
I'm sick of pointing out this functional dynamic of propaganda - picking and promoting the artist/product which serves an end IN CONTEXT.
perhaps you should stop making very seemingly random connections between disparate things on a regular basis?
I've already posted on General Electric's psyops films so don't focus on your 'Neil Gaiman says so you're ridiculous' spiel.
i'd suggest General Electric should hire better psyops people. Keeping attention away from Caroline Fucking Kennedy would be better served by not putting her on NBC new programs several times a day. Which GE does.
NBC nightly news gets more viewers a day than Coraline will get in its rotation through the box office.
Do you expect us to trust that General Electric has good intentions in its film production choice and schedule?
i believe they likely have good business sense in their choice of schedule and production. they have customers after all. Catering to the whims of some mythological super psyops dept. by moving productions for them to magickally appear whenever they need them (though movies take years to be made) and only pimping the right movies at the right time (which i never notice, it seems they pimp all the movies all the time) would be a hugely difficult and costly endeavor and it'd be much cheaper for the GE mafia people to just kill the psyops team.
Ever heard of Ronald Reagan?
yes, we had him in high school. he was president when i was born.
Know where he came from? Pimping General Electric.
Actually he came from God. It was only later that he worked with GE. I learned both of those things in High School, mostly thanks to him.
but of course Hugh doesn't actually read books or watch movies in order to know anything about them.
I've closely analyzed hundreds of both media. Et vous?
You sound exactly like Professor Pan. Not good for a discussion board.
depends on what you mean by analyzed, i suppose.
i haven't made lists of random character names from the thousands of books i've owned and/or programs i've watched and then search the internet for the same words appearing in either A. news stories and/or B. old news stories i find particularly relevant right now. because that would be silly, because i'd find many many thousands of random coincidences for every one that could possibly be statistically relevant (even if the psyops team exists). and there'd be no way of telling them apart.
...
it must be a barren place indeed wherein art can only serve the spooks.
