Talk:Todd Solondz

message: This article's synopsis of Solondz's first feature-length film strongly suggests that the author has never seen it.  Although the film is bookended with letters to and from Samuel Beckett, the famous playwright plays no other role in the plot.   A better summary would be something along the lines of:  "An episodic comedy about a fledgling playwright and his frustrating interactions with the opposite sex.  The film's fractured narrative structure and casual relationship with the "fourth wall"  are somewhat reminiscent of  Annie Hall, a far cry from the more astringent and naturalistic surface Solondz has been moving towards ever since. Characterizations are broader than viewers of Solondz's more deadpan later films might expect.  The film contains several musical interludes.  Stanley Tucci is outstanding in an early role."

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Storytelling.jpg

message: "Solondz is an atheist. In The A.V. Club's article "Is There a God?", he answered the question "Well, me, I'm an atheist, so I don't really believe there is. But I suppose I could be proven wrong."[4]
That would make him agnostic. I believe that this quote is taken out of context, in regards to the first sentence. To me it sounds like a tongue in cheek way of avoiding the answer to a direct question. If his religion or lack of it needs to be addressed, I believe it should read, "Solondz is agnostic...", given the following quote with footnote. If his works are to be considered as atheistic, there should be a lot more notation proving it. I, personally, do not get that impression from his films.
Just my 2 cents.
Not meant as a slam against atheists; they're okay.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.141.185 (talk) 06:59, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
