I liked her spirited support of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev right after he and his gently caress up brother blew up that baby and that Chinese kid or whatever. I only wish she'd been a thing in 2001 so we could have gotten some cool "Osama is a father too" type poem. That probably would have started a lynch mob back then.

Like every Saturday I can look out my window and they are, fixing that same god drat car that must be in a perpetual state of disrepair.  Holy poo poo THATS why our car never worked? I thought it was just because we were poor. But it was because we were poor and Mexican. Yes Amanda Palmer seems like a self indulgent "artist" that is really just a dick

His incredibly poor characterization of the title character despite 60+ issues of allowing us to view him at various times throughout history in many forms is honestly impressively incompetent, but the whole still works in spite of that because he (wisely) makes the actual page-to-page details about all the supporting players.

ElGroucho posted:Seriously though, why would you watch doctor who To paraphrase good quotes from SA: At best it's like supporting a amateur sports team who rarely wins-- you get to watch them make asses of themselves and mock them 90% of the time and the other 10% is like a weird vindication that maybe you weren't wrong to waste your time with them. At worst it's like being stuck in an abusive relationship because those few glimmers of quality create an idea in your head that you can't quite shake even when you know the reality can never match it. Mumpy Puffinz posted:Not really. the overarching story was bad, but the 6-12 issue stories were really good. The only award he won was for a one issue story. Gaiman is really good at short stories. Bingo. In fact many of the artists on Sandman were pretty lovely tbh. Even the very talented Sam Keith couldn't quite capture the tone Gaiman was going for and had to leave the book. Then for Book 9 Gaiman had this super cartoony artist come on board (most likely to ensure it was published in a timely manner) and it felt really jarring and undercut a lot of the narrative tension he spent 8 books trying to build. Book 10 was virtuoso art though, no lie.

She and Lena Dunham need to get together and combine their awesome powers of making something out of dull, soggy, clumpy nothing. The resultant congealed creativity will echo throughout the known world with a resounding splat.

Honestly this could be worth it if it creates some sort of black hole of pure suck that even the art world can't deny.

mind the walrus posted:There is more truth to this than I want to admit. Mumpy Puffinz posted:How many times do I have to say it: He's a good script writer, not a novelist I think maybe the problem is that he would need to spend more time per book to be really good. For example, I like Charlie Stross but IMO he suffers because he's churning out three plonks per year. Gaiman looks like he has a pretty packed schedule.

Lol, Lena Dunham actually makes tons of money and isn't some loopy dork who makes a career out of mooching. She wouldn't touch Amanda Palmer with a chocolate-covered pretzel stick.

Klyith posted:I don't even think there's anything wrong with writing YA and comic books. Kids books are a noble thing, kids need good books to read too. Then comic books and scripts, they sure do pay the bills. He probably made a heap of money from sandman. Gaiman isn't a good novelist. American Gods could have been a good story, and the one about the spider god was all over the place. His last novel was ok, but it would have worked much better as a short story. He's a good writer, he just wants to be something that he isn't. His short stories are great, his novels are mediocre.

Klyith posted:Then comic books and scripts, they sure do pay the bills. He probably made a heap of money from sandman. This is weirdly patronizing since comic books really don't pay for poo poo and Gaiman was clearly using them as a stepping stone to get to script-writing and novels, although he may have been the exception since Sandman was the flagship book of DC's Veritgo line during an economic bubble in the comics world. I'm reminded of a bit of trivia-- for years people assumed the Iain Banks was publishing sci-fi as a way to fund his literary career, but after he died it came out that his literary work made up the bulk of his book sales by a wide margin and that the sci-fi stuff was in fact a labor of love. The whole literary vs. genre debate really isn't as cut and dry as intuition would tell us. You are right that there is a place for Genuinely Good Kid's and YA Books and Gaiman definitely delivers on that front. Instructions and the Graveyard Book are both tits and when I worked in a bookstore I got more than a few parents and kids on-board with a "fun" reading project thanks to them. Klyith posted:He does the cipher main character too much, that was the big thing I didn't like about American Gods. It probably works much better in Sandman. In Sandman-- a series which I do love--it only works because his cipher main character is literally an all-powerful lord of metaphysics who is shown to be above almost all the Gods and Monsters of Existence save for like Lucifer and God. Iirc he only dies because he just lets the Greek Furies kill him because he feels guilty about some poo poo but isn't willing to actually nut up and change his ways. So having a cipher who can literally slot in and out of nearly every situation and is almost always restricted by bullshit makes him more of a constant than a protagonist, which is why the overall narrative thrust of the books as some sort-of character piece at the end fall so flat.
