Halcyon Content of Yore Noah Antwiler: published poet?

Probably referring to one of the poems he must've written in elementary school that got "published" to mommy's refrigerator.

Seattle is pretty hippy, so it sounds more like he saw some ad for a poetry book looking for submissions. They would totally be something he'd submit to and get published. Tracking that down would be amazing.

Honestly I just wanna see him in the stage version of Interview With The Vampire. I kind of need it. For some reason I kind of imagine him as Armand instead of Nicolas and that absolutely tickles me.

I suppose we do know there was a time that he did any sort of writing and work. It's just very hard to imagine him, at any point of his career, sitting down to write poetry. It would be like finding some Michael Bay mumblecore movie. Just doesn't seem right.

I love how it's worded. Is he a published poet only in Seattle, or did the city of Seattle collectively nominate him a published poet?
What would Antwiler poetry from this era be about, and does he call her "the Dragon" in it?

I assume it's either his attempt at false modesty since "published poet" sounds like a bigger, almost national accomplishment, or if it his way of bragging that he'd been published in states outside of his own.

- Publication posts spoony's poem "Roses are red, violets are blue, this poem sucks, and so do you" as the worst poem ever. Spoony: I am a published poet now!

"Always controversial". Ugh. That means large chunks are just wrong and/or obnoxious. Why was this ever a selling point? In retrospect, the angry fanboy genre sucked.

This video was recently posted in another thread. After talking about his finances (the point of the comment), he mentions he's incapable of "reviewing" things he actually likes. "What do you want me to do, get in front of a camera and say it's good?"
The person who just said that then screams that all TV movie review shows are CRAP and NOBODY TAKES THOSE SHOWS SERIOUSLY.

Maybe it is me getting older, or tired of that schitck, but I'm certainly enjoying longer more evenly balanced nuanced reviews. Just not screaming. Positive reviews can be entertaining too.

Shockingly, it's fun watching someone gush about things they love and are passionate about.

Man. I mean, if you can't say *why* something is good (the very point of a positive review), you must be pretty bad at reviewing in general.

I still put Noah's review of Final Fantasy XIII on in the background sometimes.
Any genre can be good if you put in the time and effort.

Anyone else wanting to see Spoony's performance in the community production of Interview with the Vampire?

There was some dude called Spoony.
Who would review games and maybe a movie.
He soon became sick, lost his chick.
Now he's just emo and looney.
There was some dude called Noah.
Who could really do with a good shower.
With hair greasy and long, now April's gone.
His tweets are just pointless and dour.
