the one with the coiled tube, chinese transformer, and cock that screws into standard edison socket |

neither, actually. they tend to be solid-state monstrosities |

which means they increase draw until they explode, normally. |

but, and this general point remains, you don't get to, nor should you, exclude operational costs from efficiency calculations. after you factor in the $500 to replace your favourite pair of pants you always just so happen to be wearing at the time, plus the inconvenience at billable hour cost etc, suddenly the idea to switch to "modern, energy saving, efficient" bulbs looks a lot closer to the insanity it is. |

adlai almost wishes One Flew would've been a mediocre movie, then maybe more people would read the book |
| 13:44 |
mircea_popescu |
why ? |
| 13:45 |
adlai |
because it's excellent |
| 13:45 |
adlai |
the movie is good, very good. but as long as the book's around, it'll only be second best |
| 13:47 |
adlai |
the book is quite different from the movie, in that the movie merely tells a story, whereas the book takes the slightest baby step towards actually placing you inside the main character's head |
| 13:47 |
adlai |
and the main character is neither jack nicholson nor randall mcmurphy |
| 13:48 |
mircea_popescu |
imo this is one of those situations where the better movie makes the book its bitch. yes the book is longer and goes into more detail, as a book has space to do. but this is a twin edged sword |
| 13:49 |
adlai |
well i guess mcmurphy is the "main character", but the book has a narrator. i'm not sure i've seen a movie yet where narration didn't interfere with the story |
| 13:50 |
mircea_popescu |
the chief narrator device is mostly there to insulate the author from tyhe material, best i can tell. |

so yeah, palahniuk loved the movie adaptation ; kensey hated it. |
| 14:06 |
mircea_popescu |
notably, he didn't hate it for any reason, other than being a vocal leader in the "book was better" chorus ; and for the director very sensibly removing the chief narrator clingwrap. |
| 14:07 |
mircea_popescu |
he never actually saw it. but he hated it, because "o noes, can't touch radioactive without chief brand mask!11" |

the movie was good because it didn't try-and-fail to capture what the book does, which boils down to the power of humor |
| 14:16 |
mircea_popescu |
way i see it both try the same thing, in their own medium : describe the doomed situation of a society which has lost male force and is now going into castration mode at the hands of the decaying female biomass. it's a failure mode of human populations, well known, well understood, amply documented. |
| 14:17 |
mircea_popescu |
the film does a better job of this as a film than the book does a job of it as a book. arguably this is because film has less space to do it in ; countrariwise, film is more of a "tower of babel" sort of artifice, so it's harder to get anything done. |
| 14:18 |
mircea_popescu |
other than this mediated sort of approach, straight book-film comparisons are pretty meaningless anyway. |

fight club's message, otoh, is a bit more in the "this is how you win" direction, rather than just "here's a problem, have fun dealing with it" |
| 14:18 |
mircea_popescu |
to me fight club is merely a coupla stages down. "we're lost - infantilism is always a refuge". |
| 14:19 |
mircea_popescu |
the notion that fight club is productive in any sense is pretty lulzy to me. |

punkman |
thestringpuller: adlai: didn't that happen with fight club as well? << I thought epilogue of the book was better than movie ending |

i really disliked fight club because it lets the infantile 'rage' overshadow the parts that it shares with oneflew |
| 14:20 |
mircea_popescu |
which are those ? |
| 14:20 |
mircea_popescu |
all i see is disproportionate violence (note that mcmurphy doesn't set fire to the fucking hospital - heck he doesn't even LEAVE when he has the chance, because reasons.) and disavowal (really, the voices in your head told you to, maybe, who knows ? what are you, a dumbass us girl that has to get herself drunk to be able to have sex ?) |
| 14:22 |
trinque |
and then the act itself is futile. |
| 14:22 |
adlai |
they're both about identifying and responding to 'doomed situation'. palahniuk says, set fire to the hospital, while kesey just laughs all the way to the ECT |

book ending: "With Tyler gone, the narrator waits for the bomb to explode and kill him. The bomb malfunctions because Tyler mixed paraffin into the explosives. Still alive and holding Tyler's gun, the narrator makes the first decision that is truly his own: he puts the gun in his mouth and shoots himself. Some time later, he awakens in a mental hospital, believing he is in Heaven, and |
| 14:25 |
punkman |
imagines an argument with God over human nature. The book ends with the narrator's being approached by hospital employees who reveal themselves to be Project members. They tell him their plans still continue, and that they are expecting Tyler to come back." |
| 14:25 |
mircea_popescu |
the fact that they can actually jointly own it just fine is a stronger indictment of the female-mitigated insanity than anything else could ever be. |

mircea_popescu |
anyway, that's a path less traveled that should be. WHY is it that redskins in the continental us HAD TO be massacred ? is it because they "couldn't fit" in its future, somehow, mysteriously ? is it perhaps because white guys wanted the depopulation to support higher wages and liberty [aka the fronteer lifestyle] ? is it perhaps because the wives of farmers "didn't feel safe" with them around ? |

kesey couldn't care less about plight of the mentally disabled, or helping you relate to a mental patient or anything like that. it's kind of obvious from reading about him. guy was just having interesting experiences at a mental ward, writing them down, and selling the result on a threadbare socially conscious theme. |
