I think why I hate mimes so much is that they are a lower art form, [View All]

[Rabrrrrrr]

the art of miming is a tool to be used in acting.

Much like in learning an instrument, one spends a lot of time running scales, so also in acting, one spends time learning to mime.

Miming is a foundation, upon which the art of acting sits.

And just as I wouldn't pay to go to a concert and listen to a violinist play scales for two hours; or watch a painter generate rough sketches and color studies for two hours; or watch a photographer take pictures, but never actually see any of them; so I see no need for mimes to think that what they are doing is relevant or important.

Granted, if I had to choose between listening to scales or watching a mime, I'll choose mime.

But still, it's just not interesting, and, in fact, it annoys the living shit out of me.

Mimes - you have like a handful of fucking things that all of you do, because it's all you can do in mime, and it gets really fucking annoying - pull something, find something, change the position of something, move against/with something, show an emotion, use your body to outline a physical object.

That's pretty much it.
