I guess the biggest thing that comes across for me at least is about groups of people trying to force other groups into their way if thinking and acting whether they want to or not and no matter the results, good or bad. The other thing is something I guess a lot more people drew from it: Basically the need for dirt, filth, things that at first seem unsightly but are in fact needed.

And finally: Did anyone know what the fuck the ending was about? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7205#Comment_7205 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7205#Comment_7205 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:02:41 -0800 Corey Waits
As I posted on another forum ages ago, I'm pretty sure I get the book, but it's hard to explain or define it for someone else without writing out an essay.

I guess if anyone is really confused and doesn't mind some spoilers then there is this rather fascinating interview with Morrison about the series.

But yeah, I'd kinda forgotten about The Filth lately. Now I'm going to have to go and give it another read. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7217#Comment_7217 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7217#Comment_7217 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 22:16:23 -0800 Unsub http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7256#Comment_7256 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7256#Comment_7256 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 03:07:53 -0800 Cat Vincent
Yeah, the ending is a bit odd. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7260#Comment_7260 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7260#Comment_7260 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 03:28:29 -0800 Insect King
In the end, Greg Feeley deconstructs his delusional world and recreates a new one replacing the self-loathing with a dignified acceptance at what and who is is and his role in society.

I think it is a remarkably upbeat and positive book for such a miserable subject.

I honestly don't know how you can say it is lacking in energy. Not everything needs to involve the author beating you across the head. Transmet really isn't that great and certainly isn't Ellis' best, and I don't see why you're even comparing it to what Morrison is doing with his works.

All of you should read Flex Mentallo. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7267#Comment_7267 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7267#Comment_7267 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 05:10:11 -0800 warrenellis http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7334#Comment_7334 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7334#Comment_7334 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 11:43:50 -0800 Greg SBB!
However, I hold my had up and admit that I always feel I'm not quite clever enough to fully 'get' them (Doom Patrol being the one that most springs to mind). ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7357#Comment_7357 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7357#Comment_7357 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:11:40 -0800 screaming meat thats a tune!). I even remeber his work on ZOIDS. There are aspects I really like (Filth is excellent and confusing, Invisibles is spot on and Arkham was... interesting) but there are many I dislike (what is that whole comic-meme thing in Filth?).

It's a similar view I have to David Lynch - indulgent, very clever and often beyond my comprehension.

Maybe I'm just dumb? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7400#Comment_7400 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=268&Focus=7400#Comment_7400 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:45:53 -0800 warrenellis
