When The Doctor pointed out that a meme was merely (or memely?) an idea, the empty monks robes all collapsed.Tallulah Moreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416330735326405496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-86074789455509059022008-09-06T10:31:00.000-07:002008-09-06T10:31:00.000-07:00This is not a meme, just a fad.

Originally, a meme was just a single unit of cultural information transmitted from one person to another (the name comes from the word "gene" used in genetics), like one guy would make the joke "the french surrender", that's a meme. Then the second guy would repeat it differently, as "the french escape from every conflict", that's another meme (because of the slight variation), and they keep going around, mutating. Alltogether, they form the generally recognized notion that "the french surrender", that we call a "meme".<BR/><BR/>Nowadays, memes are easilly transmitted by actual people, instead of being mostly pushed by the media (like my example above; sit-com writers seem to think that's hillarious), through this new thing we have called "the internet".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-77472351345209538842008-09-06T07:13:00.000-07:002008-09-06T07:13:00.000-07:00Ken, I'd be interested to know what the difference...Ken, I'd be interested to know what the difference is between the different writing credits you see on a show; you have your staff writers, story editors, creative consultants (which I think you described once in a post as authorities doing basically nothing) etc etc , could they all be that useful?stålarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997521616329081953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-17768226152061868852008-09-06T05:43:00.000-07:002008-09-06T05:43:00.000-07:00Why you not write to radio programme also?Why you not write to radio programme also?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-7999731564244232612008-09-05T13:36:00.000-07:002008-09-05T13:36:00.000-07:00You imply that William Crain, who directed BLACULA...You imply that William Crain, who directed BLACULA at the venerable age of 21, is a HACK?<BR/><BR/>Did you see any of his brilliant, critically-acclaimed episodes of THE DUKES OF HAZZARD? He brought out the magic of monnshining hicks driving recklessly.<BR/><BR/>How about his episodes of STARSKY AND HUTCH, THE MOD SQUAD, THE ROOKIES, MATT HUSTON, or SWAT? And don't forget his other cinema gems, JOY RIDE: AN AUTO THEFT, and DOCTOR BLACK AND MISTER HYDE. And ALL directed in his 20s! (He's barely 7 months older than yourself.) The moon shines out of his moon, or at least out of his moonshine.<BR/><BR/>Now Bob Kelljan, who directed SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM, he was a hack.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Tallulah Moreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416330735326405496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-39254691725395148632008-09-05T10:36:00.000-07:002008-09-05T10:36:00.000-07:00And don't forget George Burns's maxim: There's no ...And don't forget George Burns's maxim: There's no heavy lifting.Gail Renardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09388455755408650770noreply@blogger.com
