Chuck Palahniuk Lecture: Death of Protest

[ElfPrincessHarley]

the last minute was the most awkward shit I've ever seen.

[TwyfordianArc]

...zoginated

I've spent so much time on, both, my writing, as well as my political activism.... I admire this new look on how change happens... I'll be thinking about this video for a while.

chuck sludgeaniuk are worst at best writing anfd my book had more worndess and I WENT TO COLLEGEN!!  this is why i am successful youtube spammer and all chuck is are best seller arther

[Slide2671]

@josephuglia Hahahaha. 

[Slide2671]

@jsuglia Wasn't that his goal? To bring men and young boys back to reading?

And wow, you sound so fucking pissed. What happened, did you write a book, didn't turn out how you wanted it too, and then you decided to just yell at whatever sold more and was more creative than what you thought of?

High-school dropouts? It's funny you say that, because most of the people I know who read of him are quite successful. I implore you to quit spreading trash and lying and prove that you can do better.

[Slide2671]

@jsuglia Ah. Just like I expected. Can't answer any of his criticisms. I have some advice for you.

1. Don't criticize other writers if you can't answer for the criticisms you hand out.

2. Don't hold yourself so high because you majored in spelling and vocabulary. Any fool can look into a thesaurus or dictionary. Bravo.

3. To quote Palahniuk, It's easy to attack and destroy an act of creation, it's a lot harder to build one." You have not destroyed anything.

Good day sir. Please fuck off.

[Slide2671]

@jsuglia I am oh-so impressed. Nevertheless, you have not even started on why you hate Palahniuk so much, or why you are the greatest writer in the world. I decided to look you up, I was a bit interested on what you had done to give yourself that title.

Let me say that your work is quite laughable. You bore me.

[Slide2671]

@jsuglia Many people have said "You bore me", am I ripping them off as well? Are you so snobbish and full of yourself that you have to point out something like that? I don't recall you ever saying that, so it doesn't matter.

Really now, your slipping. Just give up.

[MrShingun]

So, he does not have to be that way, but he is. And he gives tips from his knowledge, which most writer's don't do.

[MrShingun]

I still enjoy his insights and his talks, even if his fiction sort of let me down. But I jst got off the band-wagon, he is still an intellegent, gifted writer, and I hope we get more like him. Very down to earth and approachable.

[ZohnnyCage]

Oh Chuck, Chuck, Chuck.... I'm dissapointed in you.. you didn't mention the animals.

[andytheR]

many people ARE coming up with high-concept ideas like the ones chuck is looking for... but they are being drowned out by what? those little melodramatic ones, because those ones are louder and more marketable.

[JohanStarDragon]

LIttle Melodramatic ones? You mean like Twilight?

[andytheR]

@JohanStarDragon yes, in addition to others

[theprogen2003]

@andytheR That just means that these "high-concept" ideas are not good enough yet. A game changing "meta-narrative" would have to be surprising enough to completely eclipse the norm.

[Scheisserle83]

I just reviewed this speech for a university speech class.
