David Mamet needs to receive Tracy Morgan levels of rage — Page 3

Why, Kad, have you only had rudimentary French?

Speaking of rudimentary, nom, don't you have another thread to go scold people on? May I suggest a reading of "If I Ran the Zoo" by Dr. Suess? It's frustrating for the child-like to realize they can't control the world and everyone in it, and that book may provide you the mental relief you so obviously need.

Prescriptions. Get them refilled.

Congratulations on adding nothing to the discussion of Mamet's explicit homophobia in a political context and why it has not received any of the outrage Tracy Morgan's explicit homophobia in a comedy club.

I appreciate you adding something useful to the topic.

I feel like David Mamet desperately wishes he were Aaron Sorkin.

However, I do feel like many of his works will continue to be commonly produced- Oleanna, Speed-the-Plow, American Buffalo- if only because they are well-known and cheap to stage. He has managed to wrangle his way into becoming an American theatre icon.

I'm not sure why Morgan receives more disgust from the community, though. Maybe it's due to the people he is associated with, maybe it's due to its crass bluntness. Maybe because he is easily more recognizable than Mamet to most people. How many people are clamoring for Mamet's book? The thing he says are no more shocking than a Fox pundit's nightly rantings.
