In my opinion, what you are satirizing here are not manifestoes but jeremiads. Manifestoes are usually positive visions of the future (Marinetti and the Futurists wrote awesome manifestoes). A jeremiad, which is what I often write (although my best writing has been more manifesto-like, in my opinion), is "A literary work or speech expressing a bitter lament or a righteous prophecy of doom." <BR/><BR/>I know I am being a nerd about this.Scott Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465161646609405658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902716.post-3883211972941605932009-03-19T11:01:00.000-07:002009-03-19T11:01:00.000-07:00this is frakkin hi-larious and is probably my seco...this is frakkin hi-larious and is probably my second fav post of yours. if i could figure out how to go to old posts, i'd link to the other.jengordonthomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107421152247605616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902716.post-27869371613547385752009-03-18T14:16:00.000-07:002009-03-18T14:16:00.000-07:00Now I'll play my part:I think that you are making ...Now I'll play my part:<BR/><BR/>I think that you are making a ridiculous attack on those of us who care enough about theatre to form our ideas into coherent sentences. It is typical of you glib NY theatre types who only care about what star is going to be cast in the next Broadway revival -- oh, and superhero movies and TV shows. If you would actually read some books, it would help.<BR/><BR/>[How's that?
