Yes.

The first time I watched Birdman I understood the essential existential themes it was investigating, and enjoyed the movie greatly. It didn't take me multiple viewings, but I'm a pretty smart guy. On the other hand, I think a lot of people who don't get the movie dismiss it as pseudo-intellectual garbage which its not.

I've never loved you more, Dev.

that was an incredible post, dev

I completely agree with both of you.

I recommend that Malloy watches it a third time to see what else he missed.

dev, i think the problems you and i have had stem from the fact that i'm not good at recognizing when you're shticking.

All kidding/faux-feuding/shtick aside. Dev is one of my favorite posters for that very reason.

But he's a fucking idiot about It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Dev is an intellectual juggernot.

yeah, it can be. you're right. so just to be 100% clear, that post about your perceptive experience watching birdman was all shtick, right?
