Ye like me cooking don't ye
SAY IT!

Do you not remember the text at the end saying what books The Lighthouse was inspired by? Read those doofus

>>15741557
this whole monologue was cringe
robert pattinson's was better

>>15741557
can someone please post a transcript of his entire rant? I've been trying to find one since the film came out, but to no avail

>>15742044
other way around

>>15741557
People say the Lighthouse was a homosexual movie, citing Freud and some other cunts. Read the wiki page on this movie. Who'll stop the fags?

>>15742084
lol yeah and they prob also think moby dick is homosexual lol

>>15742084
The director himself said so. The lighthouse is a phallus symbol. The shit that happens in it is the forbidden. That's why the guy is both attracted and repulsed by it.

they were both kino. the writing of dafoe's was better, but pattinson's delivery was really the highlight of his monologue. their were moments when you could tell dafoe was really thinking hard about the lines, but pattinson just let it all come out perfectly natural as if he came up with it on the spot.

midwits should be banned from making movies

>HAAAARRRKK HARK! Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths, full foul in his fury. Black waves teeming with salt foam, to smother this young mouth with pungent slime. To choke ye, engorging your organs till ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more. Only when he, crowned in cockle shells, with slithering tentacle tail and steaming beard, take up his fell befitted arm, his coral tined trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through your gullet. Bursting ye! A bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now a nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to pick and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself. Forgotten, to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea. For any stuff or part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more but is now, itself, the sea!

use a search engine next time

>>15742124
so that means he wants to suck cock? lol stfu its about the danger of letting your penis call the shots.

>>15742142
film is a midwit medium for the most part, especially American cinema.

Then you haven't tried at all

Robert Louis Stevenson

The Lighthouse is overrated as fuck.

>>15741557
Anything including Nigger Dick from New Brunswick.

>>15741967
That's not even close to the quote

>>15742084
Not really. The movie is about having a shit roommate, and the main guy being denied his private space. He becomes sexually frustrated because he can't bust a nut to a hot mermaid waifu. Never got the gay shit. But then again, most people that like the movie miss so much shit in it.

honestly some of the best writing I've seen in a film

the sea wolf

>>15741557
"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is a classic. If you want something more recent and nonfictional I highly recommend "Looking for a Ship."

>>15741557
The Logs of the Sea of Cortez. Not even fictional, Steinbeck spent a year or so doing marine research with "The Doc".

there is nothing homosexual, he just gets asked stupid questions by moronic journalists and answers with "sure, I guess it can be interpreted that way" and then the title of the article is "The director of the lighthouse says it's about gay jewish sex and feminism"

>>15741557
The sea wolf
Old man and the sea
Moby Dick

>>15741557
>What are the saltiest sea stories I can find?

Jack London's first published article, "Typhoon" (about his experience of, you guessed it).

London has some good ones, I'm currently reading Tales From the Southern Seas.
Sadly, it almost lacks any homoerotic action, but there's enough racial hatred to fill the hole.

Oh, my, looks like I'm late to the party!

>>15741557
Not one mention of the Aubrey–Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian.
be sure to grease your self with some rum because he dosent spare the reader with naval terms that will twist your formast in to a pretzel.

The witch was better. The lighthouse is peak pseud.

HARK

I thought The Terror by Dan Simmons was very enjoyable, the TV show was good too.

Whenever there's a movie I like that's not based on a book I'm sad that I won't be able to experience that feeling of consuming a good piece of media again for the first time.

Hark Corona, hark! Bellow, bid our mother the chink queen rise from the depths full foul in her fury! Yellow masses teeming with coofs and sputters to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til’ ye turn blue and bloated with blood and puss and can scream no more -- only when she, crowned in pangolin scales with slitherin’ pangolin tail and take up her fell be-winged arm, her viral scepter screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer lungs, bursting ye -- a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead Chinamen to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite masses of the Dread Empress herself -- forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the statistics, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself Covid!

It's two men who were friends, of course they were sodomites. There's no such thing as male friendship, only cooming.

>Yer fond of me lobster aren't ye.
now fuck off.

Checkout out McGlue by Ottessa Moshfeigh. The main characters are sailors and it is similarly homoerotic
