“Words are like, what… nothing. Complicated air flow.”
I wanted to do a whole bit about this but turns out Nerdwriter has me covered. Seven-odd minutes of coercion, equivocation, nothing words, awkward pauses, emotional dyslexia, and bringing things up just to have them squashed. See how poor fuck Greg just can’t tell context from content in the beginning? He’s also the only character who deigns to use expensive words. When Rome so much as says ‘deign’ Kendall slams him for being phony. And as regards Roy, in the beginning the patriarch barely utters words, letting the others hang on his mumbles and mouth sounds, shifting his looming weight around languidly.
It’s Mad Men but ugly, it’s medium-as-message, it’s Zeitgeist AF. I just wanna know when I can buy Jeremy Strong a beer.
