#and to be clear when i say dialogue i am not critiquing post-game press conferences or interviews with players or whatever

gonna get perhaps a little controversial for this site and say i think it's generally kind of a weird move to be proud of yourself simply for not liking something.

if you are boycotting a work for political reasons and it brings you some measure of peace or clarity to critique its messages, by all means go ahead; that isn't what i'm talking about.

but patting yourself on the back just for not deriving the happy chemicals from a potential source for them, in this world so full of pain and struggle, where sometimes it seems like we all have to fight to enjoy anything in the first place...why?

all of that said, i think i would care about the superbowl more if it had clearer dramatic stakes and better dialogue.

#and to be clear when i say dialogue i am not critiquing post-game press conferences or interviews with players or whatever #i am saying i want the players to be micced *during the game* and to say scripted one liners at dramatically important moments #and to be clear i would still not *love* it. but i would like it a little. #(wrestling. i am just describing wrestling.) #the important thing is i know these opinions are bad & dweeby! i would put fast-paced overwritten banter in every sport; i must be stopped #(but also: uh hey let's maybe do something about all those concussions huh??)
