Hosting the world cup in a burger republic was a mistake.

@TrueSlazac @aquilaqua Probably because Monty Python and Zucker films aren't topical comedy and Carlin was.

Moving out today and my landlord is trying to blame me for $5000 in water damage I didn't cause 🙃

Go to google and type "the amazing digital circus"

@gelidichavoc @kzzrttt The shots that take place in the black void during the Caine sequence are flashbacks to Caine creating the circus. The shots of Caine reaching the Cafe wifi door are up to date chronologically. Two different moments in time for Caine juxstaposed narratively.

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood I think they should eventually read them, for sure. But the book is explicitly set up to be read at the reader's pace. Danielowski could have just not used footnotes and structured the book in alternating chapters in ascending number so the reading order is clear. He didn't.

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood It's a maze because we interpret works of art like someone walking through a maze. We can take different paths to reach the end. We can reach dead ends in our understanding and have to double back. We can break holes in the walls trying to find our own way.

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood Art is subjective, no one experiences it the same because we project our past, ego, ideals onto it simply by consuming it. The author is dead (literally, in Zampano's case) and the work he created belongs to the one's consuming it (Jonnhy, reader) as much as it does to him/her.

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood I think you're naive and underappreciating how interesting a topic the subjectivity of art is. I can't know exactly what Danielowski thinks of the topic, but I know he wrote a book about it.

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood You just described the most surface level interpretation of a novel (it's plot) and are trying to pretendthat's what the book is *about*.

Mobey Dick isn't about hunting a whale. It's about obsession.

The way house of leaves is structured is a clue as to it's *meaning*.

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood Because Zampano's manuscript, the house, and HoL are all metaphors for works of fiction themselves, and how we project our baggage (effectively illustrated with mentally unwell characters) onto them.

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood Yeah so uv grasped like the most basic surface level metaphor in the novel.

Why is Jonnhys decent into madness framed thru his investigation of the Zampano's manuscript? Why is Navidson's framed thru his investigation of the house? Why are both physically structured like a maze?

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood It doesnt mean anything "for the plot". Its subtext.

The point its making in regard to projection (if any) is hazier but I believe it's trying to interrogate how one's baggage is inseparable from their interpretation of fiction. Artistic subjectivity, the death of the author etc

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood And what is that message?

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood Yeah, so like I said, this is just text. You're not really engaging with subtext or "what it's about", you're just describing the plot, which does have a lot to do with mental health.

[Knox📦 || 🇨🇦🇧🇷 @KnoxBoxArt]

@user183739272 @saintava @thatfrood Well no. I already told you I think the story is a metaphor for projecting onto works of fiction. That's what makes it so genius. The story begs you to engage with this idea by putting you in the same spot that Truant is in, reading a convoluted manuscript.
