pro-Kanye. loved Famous.

i think an interesting thing about the response is that the celebrities are presented in a non-sexual, neutral position and state, sleep, identical to the alluded painting of anonymous individuals, so our reaction to Kanye's work differs from that of Desiderio's by our being colored by what we already know about the intimate details and connections among of the lives of these people and our own feelings connected with that.

we are made uncomfortable because we know them or we think we know them so fucking well. the really invasive camera work mirrors exactly how we obsess. it's creepy because we /are/ creepily watching them when they are unaware and often without their consent.

Hey, Lena, maybe watching Kim pick paint off a window ledge is just as off putting as watching her sleep.

I called Mike guild a fake fuck the first time he was on the show. I know a handful of shit talkers and the way he tells stories makes them very obviously made up.

I love Chemda and I hate to disagree with her so definitively but the surgery from dick to vagina nowadays is pretty much perfected. If Caitlyn truly felt like a woman I don't see how she'd want to keep it. She's a horrible poster person for the trans community. She offers far too many easy points to be made by assholes who want to question the validity of trans people.

If Quincy was still alive in 2017, that would be fucking hilarious. Heard him a while back on You Made It Weird, funny dude. I dunno about anyone else, but it feels kind of surreal hearing someone just chit-chat who we all now know is going to (supposedly) die in less than 2 months.

Anyways, great ep.

I hope he's alive for a long time.

The things people will do to be voted Best New Guest! We get it, Quincy. Seriously, though, best of luck and hope you are around for the next year.

Hey guys, let's not be too hard on Mike! I think the shame and embarrassment of the situation is enough! I mean, how is he going to look his buddy Jim Carrey in the eyes and tell him he lied? Mike says he knows where Jim Carrey lives and the three of us are going to brunch later so I'll report back!

Hilarity! Confrontation! Education! Advertization! Mike Guild Fuckoffacation! Taxation with representation!

If Quincy dies before coming back on the show we'll have to also nominate this one for saddest episode
