Lol, that article when it came out was incredible. The author somehow failed to realize that "ABC", from Alec Baldwin's psychopathic character, is actually satire about the mindset of such psychopaths, not actual advice to live by.

- current_call 11y agoHow do you know it's satire?
- orthoganol 11y agoGeneral literary sense. Have you read the play?
- current_call 11y agoThat's vague. I'm not entitled to a thorough explanation, but I was hoping for a better one. I have not read the play, seen the play, or seen the movie.
- orthoganol 11y agoIt's similar to asking why I think Malfoy in Harry Potter is portrayed as a bad person. There's nothing subtle about the GGR character. I recommend watching the movie, primarily for the performances.
- current_call 11y agoI've seen the speech. He isn't nice, but he's still right. "Do a good job or be replaced by someone who can." I guess I need to add the movie to my backlog now.
