Staring: Robert Stark & Charles E. Lincoln II<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a fan of losers and serial killers, and enjoy the alt-Right despaircore writings of Andy Nowicki or Paul Bingham, you\u2019ve probably said, \u201cGee, I wish I could visit them at home, see them writing away on a rickety plywood table under the light in the kitchen, interacting with their cat and drinking a glass of Two Buck Chuck!\u201d<\/p>\n
Well, thanks to Robert Stark, and YouTube, now you can!<\/p>\n
The Poet & The Cat<\/i> is stars Robert as the poet undergoing a quarter-life crisis (which is a new one on me, but apparently is a thing<\/a>), and Charles E. Lincoln II is the cat; that is, the voice of the cat, who sounds distractingly like Judaic radio show crank Mark Levin, especially when he starts ranting in German.\u00a0 The cat, I mean.<\/p>\n It\u2019s fun to see Robert bring the poetry-scribbling loser to life, and the cat is a hoot as he ventriloquizes Bingham\u2019s bleak worldview.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re like a woman, you know.\u00a0 You come at me shadowboxing, both paws extended; only then do the claws come out, and dig in so deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The \u201cfeline Mephistopheles\u201d insistently tries to draw the poet\u2019s thoughts from working his ordinary life problems into art and toward mass murder as the real path to fame, money and women; while constantly becoming distracted by the urge to hunt a mouse or complain about having been fixed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cJust move like a cat. You\u2019re good at that.\u00a0 All you girlfriends say you can be a creep.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Suffering weltschmerz<\/i> after reading too many Hopeless Books?\u00a0 Feeling like a Delta Male after checking out too many man-o-sphere blogs?\u00a0 Ignore that clickbait at Salon or HuffPo, and go here<\/a> for a quarter-hour of someone else\u2019s entertaining quarterlife crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Poet & The Cat Directed by Robert Stark Written by Paul Bingham Staring: Robert Stark & Charles E.
