This film scared the bejeebers out of me when I was a teenager.

From the for-kids section of the book...

swynn Ha! I think someday I'd like to set a goal of reading all the books I've sometimes talked about as if I had read them -- but in fact had only been told about them by professors, critics, or fellow readers enough that I could fake it. I've started a list for that project, and it's depressingly long .... It's not about boredom though but about *time*. Okay, and sometimes boredom. 2w

Asking for a friend...

BethM Anything that‘s a “classic.” 2w
Ruthiella I‘ve read both but, I have kept my copies of The Satanic Verses and Midnight‘s Children purely for pretentiousness. 🤣 2w
swynn I have a small library of French classics that I bought shortly after I graduated college. They were deeply discounted but still an indefensible expense at that point in my life. Turns out 4 semesters of conversational French is almost useless for attempting Zola 😀 I still have most of them, less for pretension than a memento of who I was then. 2w

My experience reading this memoir matches up well with my experience of George Carlin's comedy.
I'm certain there are things he did that I haven't seen, I'm certain there are a few things he said that I don't agree with, that lean a little too far into shock humour to be viewed as effective commentary, but overall, I appreciate where he ended up, his use of language to convey ideas, his snappy delivery, his ability to be self-reflective 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? on occasion.
There are a handful of excerpts of comedy routines, but for the most part this is a straightforward, chronological memoir, you get insight into some of the forces that might have contributed to Carlin's choice of comedian as career, wanting to be accepted by a certain crowd and disagreeing heartily with another, not wanting to follow along with his mother's plans for him, being angry at the state of the world and looking
2w
Robotswithpersonality 3/? for a way to express it.
I was surprised to learn of his earlier 'straight' period, 60s variety and talk shows toeing the line of what could be on air and how such shows were run, as well as frustrated (if humbly in retrospect acknowledged as unlikely) film star hopes, but it certainly adds fuel to the inspiring transformation in the 70s, though it's devastating to recognize yet another creative talent of this era
2w
Robotswithpersonality 4/? who in part may have been not-dealing with emotional issues instilled by his upbringing by engaging in ever increasing substance abuse in that decade and beyond.
It's even more distressing to realize that his first wife and daughter make consistent appearances, have dramatic moments, but still feel like side bars. I'm glad he found the love of his life in his second wife, but it's hard to imagine being as accepting and forgiving as his
2w
Robotswithpersonality 5/? daughter Kelly must be to still have been in his life after everything. It's not quite patterns of abuse replicating, but it does feel like he missed out on a lot of opportunities to be a father (and a better husband the first time around) at best, and was often neglectful at worst.
There is self-awareness about this in the later chapters, I think it's hitting me hard because it challenges the mind-expanded stoner to cheeky grandpa pipeline
2w
Robotswithpersonality 6/6 view I had of him. People are always 'more.'
I do wish there was less of the embittered old man, full of disillusionment in people, in politics, by the end, but there's something so gently hopeful in concluding with new plans, looking forward to a different creative stage in his career. I don't think the Broadway show ever happened, but I'm glad he was still dreaming.
