currently making this post as i'm blasting the talking heads from my speakers

[Anonymous No.22432669]

I recently came to the conclusion that there is no inherent ranking of quality, depth, or importance of art by medium. The simple evidence of this is that one could write a horrible, empty book just the same as one could make an incredible and impactful video game.

I used to be obsessed with movies but now, I can’t stand them at all. The only ones I watch are with my father and usually, it is just to be around him and not because I want to actually watch the movie. If I could, I would love to move in the woods and never see another movie as long as I live

Films can evoke emotions that are impossible for books to replicate. Just watch this scene, you can't replicate what you feel from watching Salieri's description of Mozart's music by simply reading text.

Is the bible really great literature though? Where is the beauty of words? Where is the entertainment value?

I get that it is your value system, but is that art? For the same reason, I wouldn't call Siddartha or the Tibetan book of the Dead great literature. Great works to live by, maybe. But great art?

Nah, don't recommend shit literature if you want someone to experience the sublime that the medium has to offer. Nothing comes close to what Pynchon accomplished with Gravity's Rainbow.
