Is this worth reading?

I found it to be an enjoyable novelization of based Japs killing christ-cucks so their nation won't be subverted by Semitic trash

the movie was really good
Made me think there's an actual actor somewhere inside the guy who plays the new star wars baddie

The movie was pretty good.
>>12406378
Adam Driver was the only good part of The Last Jedi, though.

Adam Driver is a really good actor. Him and Oscar Isaac are the only Disney Wars stars who will have respectable careers after the current Disney Wars trilogy wraps up.

I loved it. That book was literally the reason I started going back to church.

Really good, japs were fucking savages.

Yeah I like him, he's had an interesting career and takes decent roles. Oscar Isaac tends to be pretty good in my opinion but I really did not like him in the one star wars movie I watched a bit of on netflix.

Poe Dameron is such a hollow character only a truly masterful actor could make him interesting. And Oscar Isaac is great but he isn't that great. Fun fact: Poe was supposed to die in The Force Awakens but J. J. Abrams liked Isaac so much he decided to keep Poe alive. And since then neither J. J. or Rian Johnson have been able to figure out what to do with the second-rate Han knockoff.

Did you see Isaac in that coen brothers movie with the folk music? It was great, he carried that movie.
Cool to see that a real situation on set actually backed up my dislike of his character. I also did not like john bodega's performance, but I feel like a lot of /pol/tier dudes who have no idea what differentiates a good and poor performance dislike him for racist reasons so I'm less inclined to share that one. The girl wasn't actually that bad for a breakout role either.

HE WILL BEAT THE EMPIRE, uh, I mean, FIRST ORDER WITH LOVE! NOT VIOLENCE! Also, never forget that you should blindly follow your officer's orders even if it looks like she's leading you into suicide. And it's perfectly fine for her to keep all of her plans secret from you for no reason whatsoever. The Last Jedi is such a mess.

doesn't the church say that it's perfectly fine to apostatize when under threat of torture

Beautifully moody heroes journey applied to a priestly rather than martial character. Very powerful story of faith, even if you aren't religious like myself.

Yeah, Inside Llewyn Davis was a good film. Isaac was also excellent in Ex Machina.

Wrong, /lit/ is a Traditionalist board, most of Christianity is decrepit, the only areas of it worth anything anymore are Christian mystics that the Church barely promotes anyways

How could you be traditional in 2019? Any traditional faiths have been lost to time, all that's available now are revivals based on poor translations completely divorced from social context and any intellectual tradition/shamanic practices.
You are not a traditionalist, the odds of you practicing a traditional religion as it is traditionally practiced are astronomically low even if you try your hardest.
You're never going to recapture the firelight, the shamanic chants, the ritual, the tribal cohesion. It's gone.

Yep they could have cast a decent black actor.
I suspect they cast him because some chinese factory could get them a deal on action figures with a specific facial structure based on some shitty burt reynolds mold they had lying around from the 90s and they just cast whoever's face looked the most like the toys they could generate for 10% off.

/lit/ is first and foremost a LARP board.

Also 4chan "traditionalists" are all chubby 15-year-olds who don't know shit about their heritage or history but read somewhere that it's "the new edgy" and bought into the blanket pepe. Fucking meme cucks

We have 100,000+ cumulative pages of mystic and metaphysical writings from all these traditions, even just counting what's translated into English. The fact that immorality and irreligion have become widespread does not change the fact that one can still read all of these texts and massively benefit from them as long as you are not a helpless brainlet.

nice projection, I'm sorry that you feel that way about yourself anon, try reading literature that discusses transcending the ego or the 'little self', it'll help you get past such negative self-perceptions
