: Only people in love with the tragic who aspire some sort of artifical gradeur
Dude, you make it sound like a bad thing.
One, there is an extent to which since our popular fiction is the only place in which life can work on a level of grandeur, unlike our largely petty empty shamblings toward the grave, we need to experience that tragic grandeur as much as we can in our fiction.
Two... the guy could travel through time. I think at that point, we throw out such notions of artificial.
It's that sugar cane that tastes so good, that cinnamon called Hollywood.
If it's to be said of me that I have a prediliction toward grandeur and classical storytelling techniques then... man, there's a lot worse things to say about me. And much less correct things too.
I oughta change into a more formal shirt so I can pin it to my chest as a badge of honour.
