from hell is good, v for vendetta is good, watchmen is good these are all ambitious and they fulfil the ambition. league of gentlemen is rubbish and the last series of crossed, a comic droid posted in his mega-thread, is the worst shit 've ever read in my life so it's safe to assume all his other stuff is rubbish too

Agree with all that. They all think they're cleverer than they are though whereas The Invisibkes looks dumb but is actually very smart. I prefer acting dumb and being smart than acting smart and being dumb. I've always acted dumb I think it's the best way to be.

Like a lot of things the quality which makes you recoil on first encounter becomes the quality you love after prolonged exposure
Very important part of psychology Ithink this.

Why does it happen?

It's frightening sometimes because you can tell that you're gonna end up loving something you currently hate. You can see it coming and it's an unstoppable train about to smash into you.

Like I just know that, at some point, I'm gonna end up liking Current 93. And I don't welcome that fact. But given how much I hate them right now, I can see the reversal coming. As night follows day

I think this is true, the conversion experience side of things, it is important.

I went to see current 93 and even bought an album on vinyl but haven't listened to it for ages or listened to anything else. He did have a very large gong on stage which was good to see and I must've enjoyed thd show otherwise I wouldn't have bought the album.

Almost all young people entertainment suffers from this. At the extreme end you get Jimmy Saville but it's all peado-adjacent at best.

Even when you have a young performer the problem is still there cos you got a dirty old man behind the scenes saying wear this schoolgirl outfit, now suck this lollipop

The only time you get away from it is where you have something like grime young kids making stuff for young kids and the involvement of older people lies solely in providing the platform eg Sting with deja vu and his various clubs and promotions

I suppose that we are either the crucial interpreters between the old gits and the young gits,
or maybe we have slipped into the former camp :(

well just to be clear there's the first series written by someone or other [garth ennis] which is the only one droid recommended, then loads of further series by other writers some of which are alright, then a final series written by alan moore which is absolute shit

Oh right I didn't realise that. When I was doing a clear out I found an issue of the mag Moore put out a few years ago, dodgem logic. Some good stuff in there.
