New picture needed?: Creator Provincialism

Hollwood America◊?

Fight smart, not fair.

Ooh, I like that image for something, but I think it's getting a little too far astray from the definition of Creator Provincialism. This one's more like "Outsiders' Views of the 50 States."

And just by the by, what on Earth is Waynes World supposed to have to do with Delaware?

Jet-a-Reeno!

^There was a grand total of one joke about Delaware in Wayne's World. It may have been the only time Delaware has ever been mentioned in a movie though.

"Welcome to Delaware! Hi! I'm from... Delaware..."

Wayne's World was set in Illinois save for the concert in Wisconsin.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

As hilarious as that image is, it'll be completely illegible when shrunken down.

The actual image on the site has a section of it and just make it clickable. Let me go get it.

That's great.

I'm tempted to use Hollywood America still.

Fight smart, not fair.

Bump.

Fight smart, not fair.

Mmm. I dunno. The image is, like, "movie that is notably set in this state", or something, and Creator Provincialism is more like how writers see things through their-hometown-colored-glasses, or "If the creator lives in X, the setting in the work he created will be X" according to the Laconic. The things in that image that fit that (that I see) are only Clerks, and, uh... I dunno what else. Do you have to be familiar with the work and its creator to get that connection right? (It's possible that every movie title fits the idea perfectly  ^*

, but, it would still be wrong wouldn't it?)

Would like to see something that communicates that idea specifically, without requiring familiarity with the work depicted.

Also, it doesn't look like anything in particular if the political borders of the United States aren't immediately recognizable to you, or you don't know any of those movies.

To me, it's a bunch of colored shapes, with words on them.

I'm going to play with it an see if I can make it work for Hollywood Atlas. But it doesn't work for Creator Provincialism.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

Out of the ones seen so far, the Worderella is the clearest to me. It's blatant, but the other two could slide into Just A Face And A Caption territory.

What about something like this?◊ Texas is clearly a lot bigger than the other states, so even you're unfamiliar with the internal borders of the US, you'll get the joke.

'Cause you're going home You're running free As only you would be If you never owed them anything

Laconic for Creator Provincialism is "If the creator lives in X, the setting in the work he created will be X."

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

"If the creator lives in X, the setting in the work he created will be X."

I don't think we can really sum that up in a picture without having to rely on text (a la Wonderella Suggestion) or veering into Just A Face And A Caption.

Based on the laconic, I'm voting not picturable.

Fight smart, not fair.

Not picturable. And yes, the Laconic is the correct definition.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

Definitely not picturable.
