I think creative writing is dead.
A broad generalized thought, but in the last couple days, I’ve noticed that people aren’t trying as hard anymore to be thoughtful in putting names to things.
Case in point:
A dance studio opened up a few doors from where I work and masterfully named itself Dance Studio for Children. Come on! Call it Baby Crunks or Tutus for Two Twos or even Do the Robot Child! Something! You’d think a place that is all about creativity would take a moment and think about that.
New show called Combat Hospital which weirdly enough is all about driving around the country in a trailer that is shaped like a toaster and the eclectic looking host cooks weird things. NO! It’s a fucking drama about a combat hospital. ZZZ. Does anyone remember the first time you heard the name M*A*S*H*?
When I see this kind of thing I go a little loopy. It’s as if the person who is pitching their idea to the venture capitalist had a super idea, booked the meeting with the VC but put off actually finishing the pitch – right down to naming their “thing” and thought Hell I’ll just improvise on the day of the meeting!
It’s a tv show set in space. An extremely diverse crew made up of conflicting alien cultures and sexes all come together as a team to explore and discover brave new worlds for the good of humanity. I call it Pee Pee Time Hole Face.
