Right.

Now that Boardwalk is done, I think I am cancelling HBO when this ends.

All one has to do is listen to the scoring for Olive Kittridge, in the trailer out now, to feel the condescension and smugness of the project. This is white world of minor problems that are not really such big problems, after all. There are certain adjectives, when read in a review of a film, that mean one should flee and not look back (irascible is one, whimsical is another, and of course heart warming). This sickening sentimentality is, I am finding, now sutured to the fine cross hatch stitching of all things white, of a nostalgia for an imagined world that never never never existed. The entire thrust of this sort of narrative is to erase the tragic, to erase the actual suffering and despair of the poor today on the streets of America. To erase the history of genocide and slavery. But it is also, more, to fabricate an imaginary world as if it were real, and then allow it to provide a sort of backdrop for discussions about the real world. Again, there is nowhere in the United States like these towns.But its worth repeating that Maine is the least diverse state in the entire country. Fiftieth out of fifty.

Maine is wicked white. I'd have thought that New Hampshire was more racist though.

i can't actually figure out what that guy's issue is. i think he's just disappeared very far up his own arse.
i only got through about a quarter of the text though, it's very long.

He's a very good thinker and possibly good playwright. I really like his blog.

But yeah, he's not very tolerant of anything that isn't about dirt-poor transgender black people.
