Moving right along then

First, go buy Gold Lion by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, amazing song. Second Blog time.

I will address the whole, why movies are so popular thing first, HUMANS LIKE TO SEE THINGS. Why do we take photographs, to SEE something from that time forever captured in a image, why do we like books occasionally? getting to SEE words though it's not as good, because the same guy/gal watching the porn isn't getting the same thing out of erotica is he/she. No, for them to get gratification from the porn movie, they need only sit there and not think about it, just watch. For the erotica they need to imagine it or else they aren't getting anything from it, it's just words on paper (or monitor).

So once again, why are games exempt from this rule? You watch a game happening don't you? You see pretty colours and flashing lights just like an action movie right? Yes you do, but a game requires you do something, you are controlling the universe you are watching, and some people don't seem to like that. Even worse, some games require you build your own stories, like if you're role playing in a game, you aren't just following the shiny prompts the game is giving you any more, you're building your own world with the people you are acting with—which brings me to the next part.

What makes actors so special? Role players do what they do and even better, even more frequently, even more flamboyantly. RPrs have no shame, they are among other RPrs doing the exact same silly act they are, they are truly living in the world they have created for themselves. Actors are frauds, they aren't living their parts, they put them on like masks from time to time, discarding one to pick up another as jobs shift and change, so we once again find ourselves (my self at least) asking why?

*adopts an even bitchier tone* OMG it's like so like not cool for people to have no shame and just be the person they feel like being at the moment even though it does no harm, they aren't allowed to just drop whatever and who ever they were 2 seconds ago and pick up a new mask instantly, falling in to that mask completely and running with it. They have to fit in to the strict guide lines for what is cool and what isn't, what is socially acceptable, and what isn't. (This has kinda become a rant but W/E) everyone can't just let go and be who they want to be, whenever they want to be that person. too bad.
