>film is(or could be) a more powerful art form than lit

I'd like you to expand on this point if you do hold it; or apologize!

For one, you don't have to read.

Film has never produced anything of value, only comic books and television shows are beneath it

Lost Highway was self-indulgent garbage. Lynch needs to stop making movies for himself, what a waste of talent.

there are much much much much more expressions, subtleties, intricacies, nuance, volumes, that can be expressed with the human voice and face and body, than written text can ever convey. Like imagine a really funny whiney semi retarded accent, just goofing around saying phrases very weird and funnily while making very weird faces...70 seconds of that alone captured on film is better than every book.

Why do you think literature can have value, and why can't that same reasoning be applied to film?

>a picture is worth a thousand words
>runtime of the Harry Potter franchise is 1,179 minutes
>films are shot in 24 fps, meaning I see 24 pictures per second
>By watching all the Harry Potter movies I've read 1,697,760,000 words
>this is the equivalent of reading War and Peace 2,891 times

I am much smarter than anyone on this stupid board. Film is the superior medium for artistic expression and intellectualism.

The only time film is better than writing is for porn and even then it's 50/50.

Film is lit

A script is basically just a book written in a bit of a different way

Shakespeare is considered lit even though his most famous works were all plays

Nope. People on this board lack any kind of self awareness. This is why I don't tell anyone I'm a reader.
