I just don't understand the appeal of his work, or the post-impressionists/impressionists in general. The only one I find that impressive is Redon. Their subject matter and direction is kind of weak, and I'm not into brights or pastels.

>You scared?
Why should I be? Miffed perhaps...

Films: Most genres, many directors, and only the best they have to offer. Kurosawa however is a tough one though. All of his films are excellent. Ran and Ikiru especially. But I have a soft spot for Nights of Cabiria
Musicians: Again, most genres, but so much is just plain dull. Well, its like an iceberg, with only some much visible and I've only sampled a light dusting of snows worth. To many to mention, I'll just say I like inspiring sounds over "rocking out" or the beat driven dance drivel.
Authors: I have none. Doesn't seem right. On a personal level, I really liked Douglas Adams, and Thomas Paine. Good men. Dawkins too.
Books: Depending on the genre. I used to read a lot of fiction, but it was all contemporary and fantasy driven, junk mostly. Now I'm rediscovering history and politics. Paine's are still excellent.
Philosophers: Someone ITT mentioned Paine here. But mostly... My own. Philosophers come up with worldviews that we can pick and choose from on a day to day basis.
Painters: Just painters? This does narrow it down a bit. Not a whole lot of course. Style? Living or dead? Male or female? There's simply too many of them.

Incorrect. I was angsty when I was a christian (reading the mostly bland fantasies) I wrote a paper in college about Douglas Adams, and found the final step to reasoning my way out of childish dogmas.

unfortunately film taste is for the most part, held hostage by a bunch of faggots in major production studios. Films are not as simple or cheap to produce as writing a book and certainly not as easy to distribute as a song. Thus of all the people out there who could be gods of the film industry, we only get to see an occasional glimmer. The rest of the time we're just staring at shadows on the wall of our cave.

This thread is completely full of crap movies. Everyone in this thread is hostage to the Major Film Industry. Its only funny because we see people whose favorite books are experimental modernist masterpieces and then you would think their movie taste would also be non-mainstream experimental and post-modern awesomeness but then they say shit like The Matrix, or any major movie that came out recently.

/lit/ is so disappointing music and movie-wise.

film doesnt have a long enough history to have developed like art, literature, and music have. In the past, some of what we consider great classics were some of the most popular at the time they were made. But honestly, how many people that want to go see a movie friday night are really looking forward to Alligator Road (Brothers Quay), The Crossing (Bill Viola), or the Cremaster Cycle? Also, there is a big difference in the innovative films like the works of Ingmar Bergman, Stanley Kubrick, and Alfred Hitchcock (all of whom I find enjoyable) and some of the amazing directors that have followed in their wake. Also, books are not very comparable to movies...as the very nature of their form of expression is different.

The most popular films are popular because they had the best advertising. any movie that isn't absolutely horrible that is advertised will be a hit.

If a movie is hit-quality with very little advertising
then you and nobody else will ever hear about it.

The problem is that 80% of the films listed here have been made in the last 10 years, which means you guys have probably seen very few films made in other decades.

No, I haven't. I didn't say all his stuff was great, but The Idiots is one of my favourite movies ever, Antichrist was creepy and surreal as fuck and Breaking the waves was a very cool tribute to Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling.

What I posted:
>anything directed by Lynch, Irreversible, I stand alone, The Idiots, Happiness, Naked Lunch, Slaughtered vomit dolls,...
I like violence, surrealism, absurd, philosophic/pseudo-intellectual crap...
This kind of stuff. Also strange shit like tarantino is fine too.

Yes. They're hedonists. They identify the maximum good with pleasure. Epicurus could still be saved, but Bentham and Mill are the worst. Utilitarianism is the philosophical form of everything wrong with the world.

>>1726288
I've seen parts (and the end). I've heard before that's his best movie, but it sounds too normal to me. There's no madness/violence/rape there... Just human emotions, empathy and people caring about each other... I can't appreciate this kind of things since I'm a sociopath.
But, do you think I should see it? I really like (almost) all his other stuff.

Well personally a good movie is a good movie, thats how I see it. If you only like movies in one specific area then you are very close minded. But hey,

If you like sociopathic movies, I'd recommend Maniac. You can grab it on piratebay. It is probably the best serial killer movie I've ever seen. It is made with so much care to the details of his troubled psyche.

>>	NonsequiturBear !!UFPpi0sFoPR Mon Apr 25 15:29:23 2011 No.1726319 >>1726302 How could utilitarianism breed with a naturalization of religion? Isn't utilitarianism a fucking good example of colonization (quantify utility in grades and between number of individuals)?
