McCloud - w00t

Define "the gutter".
The gutter, in my opinion, is where the imagining happens. As McCloud points out, comics rely on a single sense for the majority of the time, that of sight, but the true experience of comics happens in between the stills. Our senses all turn off and consequently all become active at the same time. We can truly imagine a situation in "the gutter" and this is where the real magic is allowed to happen.

Debord - The Hypocrit

Philosophy — the power of separate thought and the thought of separate power — was never by itself able to supersede theology. The spectacle is the material reconstruction of the religious illusion. Spectacular technology has not dispersed the religious mists into which human beings had projected their own alienated powers, it has merely brought those mists down to earth, to the point that even the most mundane aspects of life have become impenetrable and unbreathable. The illusory paradise that represented a total denial of earthly life is no longer projected into the heavens, it is embedded in earthly life itself. The spectacle is the technological version of the exiling of human powers into a “world beyond”; the culmination of humanity’s internal separation.

I directly disagree with what I feel he is saying here. He has a skewed view of only western religions and does not even address the indirectly universal idea of Nirvana. While it is definitely a major aspect of Hinduism, it even shows up in Christian literature..(and specific location) Nirvana is defined as:
"..characterized by the extinction of desire and suffering and individual consciousness"

This crude grouping of religion does terrible things for Debord's credibility in my opinion. Another negative thing in the condemning of spectacle, Debord does little more than use the medium of spectacle to critique spectacle itself. He is producing a work that puts him into a position of hypocrisy by making something that is to be considered outrageous, different, and simply stand out. This, in my opinion, is exactly what spectacle should be defined as. Taking heed to this hypocrite would be like listening to this man...
