This article is nothing but word salad to me.
And boom goes the dynamite
Liberals LOVE book burning and censorship.
We need to return them the favor.
Now that the Cos is done, and since the impotence of their War on Trump, Big Media can focus on destroying Kanye West and family.
“This article is nothing but word salad to me.”
Like this paragraph?
“Many trailers are heavily edited and underscored versions of movies that have already been edited and underscored to the edge of their lives, and this results in a product that is often compulsively watchable — show me a person who hasn’t accidentally spent an hour on trailers.apple.com, and I’ll show you a saint — but which can sometimes have a relationship to their source material analogous to the relationship between that source material and reality. “
I’m waiting for #MeToo to pounce...
E.g., Dylan:
"Blowin' in the Wind" -- Peter Paul and Mary's better
"Mr. Tambourine Man" -- Byrds' better
"All Along the Watchtower" -- Hendrix's better.
I’ve wondered how involved AI is in modern editing and “journalism”, and to an extent in FREE Kindle books, where I’ve often found gibberish like this.
Yes.
Yay, I’m a saint! Movie trailers are reason enough not to go to the cine, and I’m not spending an hour at whatever website he talked about.

I love this...
Now he can see and tell everyone how hateful the liberals are- and he can see what WE’VE had to deal with for years.
And I can’t see him apologizing.
It sounds to me like Kevin T. Lincoln doesn’t like it when his negroes act uppity and get ideas of their own. Massa Lincoln wants to give Kanye twenty lashes and take away his livelihood.
I thought “Blacklisting” was a bad thing?
Does this mean old Joe McCarty was right to demand Hollywood to name names?
That’s completely unreadable pointless filler.
“many trailers are edited and are unrelated to their source material”
What is this guy getting paid by the word?!
“Many trailers are heavily edited and underscored versions of movies that have already been edited and underscored to the edge of their lives, and this results in a product that is often compulsively watchable — show me a person who hasn’t accidentally spent an hour on trailers.apple.com, and I’ll show you a saint — but which can sometimes have a relationship to their source material analogous to the relationship between that source material and reality.”
Trailers are movie previews / advertisements. They generally show short clips (video sequences) from the movie (i.e. source material). He is saying that these movie trailers have a life of their own because they are entertaining all by themselves.
“Heavily edited” is a comment about film as an art. There is a language to film which is not how we experience real life. Film compresses and expands time. It cuts out all of the uninteresting aspects of the lives / stories being depicted.
“Underscored” is an unconventional (outside of the film world) reference which the average person understands to mean “supported”. In film jargon he is referring to musical scoring. Underscoring is when music is added to a scene that contains dialogue and generally is used to cue the audience to pay special attention to what is said in it because it is important.
