Taking the Show Down

Here’s a sad thing to post, but it must be posted nonetheless.

How do I avoid phrasing this as an apology? There is some very convincing brainfarts burbling deep down, none of which sounds very attractive as a Complete Thought One Can Be Proud To Share Online, all arguing against apologizing. They go something like:

“As compelling an argument exists that the modern internet is a mistake, as exists that God’s humanity are a fallen species,” and,

“Performativity is a cancer killing the modern internet, and retarding human social skills,” and,

“You have no one to apologize to, especially for the way you, a man rapidly approaching his 40s, have been living.”

So I won’t apologize. I’ll say something else. I will resist the urge.

I wonder what I would think of this film if I didn’t live 25 minutes from Xenia, where it is set but not filmed. I have a really hard time getting past that single fact: this is filmed in a place that bears little resemblance to Xenia.

I confess that I am nothing but a bundle of biases and that my interest in the picture waned on finding out it was a musical; I also admit that my interest then waxed on finding out the music was written by members of Cincinnati indie band The National. I wonder what my opinion would have been had I not known that. Would I have appreciated the music as much, or listened to it less closely?
