Did anyone else get cranked by the HBO series John From Cincinatti?
One of the best things I have ever seen on the tele.

1. I liked it
It really grew on me. I am so disappointed they canceled it but I guess it was hard for a lot of people to get into.

2. I believe it was one of the most intelligent series to ever hit the small screen.
I recorded them all and am still gleaning bits of inspiration from the 10 days.

"Are you sitting in your kitchen on 7th street, thinking of blowing off your head with your gun you got back from Kai’s trailer? Have you completely run out of whatever let you put up with your asshole husband for 31 years…do you feel that everything you ever touched in your entire life, you turned to shit and mud? Are you ashamed, Cissy, that once when Mitch was on one of his bullshit retreats and you were loaded on acid and Butchie was 13 and he’s just won his first contest and you were so proud of him for not being Mitch, and you went into his room and he was whipping his skippy, then you said: 'Let me show you how to do that.' Have you wanted to kill yourself every day since, Cissy? And not even known it? And turned yourself into the worst ball-buster known to man, so no one would be with you, and you wouldn’t have to be afraid that you’d ever do something like that again. That’s how ashamed of yourself you were? Do you think now, Shaun, who you loved so much and tried to make a life for, now you turned around and hurt his feelings so bad? Do you hurt so bad, you want it to just quit and be over? Everything? Well, let me tell you about our offer, Cissy. We prefer you don’t. We wish you wouldn’t. Our offer is: keep going, feeling just as miserable, or worse. Hold the gun under the spigot and turn the water on. Spare Shaun finding you dead in the kitchen. And as a bonus, you’ll also receive … his love. Act now, Cissy. Baptize that fucking pistol! "

-John, From Cincinnati

RIP john Monad


That took way more fucking talent than I have to write that dialogue.
