Random question of the day:

Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

RIP George Carlin. We miss you terribly.

Random question of the day:

Should we even question cartoon logic?

 

[Idea]

It's fun to question it for a laugh, parodies etc... However consideration for means of criticism I don't think it's really productive. Some things are just conventions of the medium, maybe they don't follow logic so in a work that is meant to be realistic they wouldn't work, but otherwise they are part of what makes it fun. In my opinion anyways.

Nah. Shut your brain cells off for ten minutes and have fun.

When it detracts from your investment in the story or world or resolves a plot in a contrived or convenient way, yes.

Pretty much any other time, no.

It depends on the show. Episodic comedies can get away with more. But serialized shows that tell an ongoing story and have continuity have to be a bit more careful, because if the writers flanderize a character or introduce a concept (give a character a power they don't use, introduce time travel or teleportation) that is out of line with the rest of the story, you can mess with people's immersion in the world.

No answers to yesterday's question. How unfortunate.

Random question of the day:

Have you ever thrown a party without your parents knowing?

No. I just never threw parties

 

[Abendrot]

Have you ever thrown a party without your parents knowing?

I live alone right now, so technically I do throw parties without my parents knowing (granted they're rather small parties without much drinking, drugs, or sex going on).

 

[The Eight Pointed Star]

Not if you don’t have any living parents QWQ

 

[Idea]

No. I just never threw parties

Random question of the day:

Which cartoon characters are visually disturbing to you?

 

[AlexneushoornTheGreat]

No answers to yesterday's question. What a shame.

Random question of the day:

What's your favorite song from the 80s?

 

[SheepySharon]

I can't really choose one but I'll go with Master Of Puppets by Metallica.

 

[DisneyGirl]

I’d say Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey but that one already gets enough attention rofl. The little gem from the 80s that I love is called Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes. Something about that song makes me nostalgic for a time and a life I never knew.

 

[AceQueen011502]

Another one bites the dust by Queen (as well as a lot of other Queen songs)

 

[deumDeitas]

Probably Bad Reputation by Joan Jett

Random question of the day:

Do you hate people who spoil games, movies and tv shows?

 

[Onmyoji]

I don't, even though I prefer to avoid spoilers for something I'm really interested in, but I won't hate people for telling them.
But I have a few friends friends who do and I'm afraid to discuss anything in front of them in case I slip up occasionally because they would be very upset.

 

[kevintheradioguy]

Do you hate people who spoil games, movies and tv shows?

No, I can live with spoilers just fine; and, fun fact, recent research has shown that in general people enjoy spoiled media more than unspoiled. For proof, google "spoilers don't spoil stories"; it's a rather curious read.

 

[Idea]

The way I see it, if a story is only worth it when you don't know what happens next, then it's not a very good one. It only happens when the author or wheoever else is making the story, is relying only on the cheap trick of keeping everything undercover, only to reveal an extremely underwhelming and barely if at all connected finale.

Spoilers are still annoying because they rob you of the full first experience of a story...but I don't think they are fatal to good entertainment.
