Are you immune from using the sticky where this was already posted?

 

[michaels]

Yes, I have the same virus that causes you to reply to threads that already have stickies.

that's a play, not a paper

McBeef had some major issues.. While this play is pathetic and does show some disturbance, it is not as bad as the media will make it out to be...

i browsed...pretty intense, but, so what...he's a writer. If only he was able to control himself and seeked help.

that play is awful, awfully written. aside from the psychotic issues, that is one of the worst plays that i've ever been exposed to.

Being a dramatic writer is one thing... his play is ****** up.

That's just bad writing, period. Hollywood puts out more disturbing stuff than that every year.

Use the sticky FFS.

Yeah. He was an English major? Wow.

That's not even a play. That's some kid having an apesh!t temper tantrum.



LOL, McPork, I mean McBeef.

I really don't like a big deal being made out of his writing. I write extremely violent stuff because it is the most flexible as far as emotions go. You can be so gruesome as to be funny, or build it up to be really suspenseful before freaking out the reader, or you can use it to express uncensored reality (instead of "he got hit with an arrow and died" you describe how it went through his eye and through his brains and all that fun stuff). I have a feeling now anyone who writes like that is going to be labeled a psychopath, or be suspected as one.

Let me explain! John is a rambunctious pubescent boy!

That was disturbing, and just pathetic writing. I know elementary school students who are better writers.

 

[uhohs]

did you guys read the mr. brownstone one yet? lol. this guy had issues.

 

[Eeezee]

Wow, about halfway through he suddenly just lost it. The first half could have been part of a real play, but the second half was the rantings of a psychotic person throwing a temper tantrum.

Farang, he's not just writing about violence, he's throwing a fit in the strangest way. If you look at the writing in the last 1/4 of the play, none of it even makes sense anymore.

See, that to me is like when artists put a pig halfway through meat grinder, then put it on display and call it art. I guess I'll never understand how writing about dismemberment is artistic and expressive.

Sounds a little emo to me.
