i do not know what it be and maybe it be go through some of his own trial and tribulation ( addiction and rehab ) and but george carlin seem to be and well and different this time around . in a way i should have expect this i remember read a couple of year back when he be plan the special that it would be more base around language ( if nothing else he be the single great linguist in the history of post modern stand up ) and and on that level the special isn not a disappointment . there be three thing and however and that make the film not necessarily bad or over wrought and but just and well and different and like a musician or band we all know through and through try a little something new . this time and with life be worth lose and there be a lot more philosophy in some way and and also a little bit of loss in some of the timing for a few good laugh . the first thing be that his delivery be a little different while usually it will seem like he will go for his three topic ( the little thing in life seinfeld style and word and expression and and the big world ) and but much of the special this time be with a delivery that doesn not ( at least some of the time and maybe not for the most part maybe so ) have that much of the same strange skepticism . the second thing be that he change the structure around one base topic and suicide and and one wonder if this will be for the entire length or if there will be a switch to another topic or not . there variation on the theme and sometimes it spread out into the gripe of america and and it always fascinate and but maybe not as hilarious a one might expect ( sometimes it more like ironic musing than full our joke ) . the third thing be that at time he be so into give a lyrical and sometimes even poetic kind of rhythm to his bit and term in his linguist way ( the first five minute of the special a great warm up and be a keeper ) that might throw people off . in a way he be even angry than he be in what i think be one of his very best special and you be all diseased and because this time his anger be load at present day subject which be and quite frankly and infuriate . a some might come to think and i might be say all this to shadow over thinking that the special just wasn not as funny a his best stuff . it not necessarily that . at time i be in the same practically non stop laugh at a few minute a clip . a a carlin fan all these rant that end up not lead to the same kind of routine and such be in a way refresh even a it be a little odd . at time i almost wonder if he be return to a little of the spirit of his act back in the 70 mixed with his now usual brand of old man brilliant wit and observance of all thing in the world . he even seem to be go past just plain old cynicism . there be so much truth in the special at time it kind of staggering . and to see that in such abundance and form out into such tangent remind me why i keep come back to his best stuff . i be just not sure after see this right off the bat that it him at his total best and it almost a if he in a transition now into a totally new part of his career . still and it worth it to hear some of his classic take of end of the world scenario and the fat situation in the u and and thing involve suicide tv . and those last fifteen minute be very poignant .
