Do what you want, OP, but you won't benefit nearly as much from just watching film. I'm reading a book right now of a film I've seen six times. I loved it so much I decided to read the book, and guess what? The book is even better, as usual.

If poetry is dead it's because people provide less and less inspiration for expression through the medium due to Ahrimanic influence on us as souls; it's not because there is something wrong with poetry.

Video games are not as high on the art scale generally because the player is doing what he wants in a general framework. That's different than an artist presenting a work for appreciation. Also life has better graphics.

Why do rightoids think movies are out to get them? The movies that most people go see these days (blockbusters) are still chasing the trend that Star Wars 1977 started. George Lucas isn't Jewish. Culture is formed by things other than the /pol/ narrative.

Movies are a weaker medium. They are for killing time and are at best supplementary to the novelization. Some serious writers such as Krasznahorkai and Alain Robbie-Gillet have crossed mediums but still 1. their man works in the literary world are infinitely superior and 2. the presence of some astounding films doesn’t make the medium any less filled with bullshit.

You're a retarded NPC cattle if you think movies and TV aren't used for propaganda by the handful of people who own their production companies. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Besides, with the reach and influence film and TV have on culture, generations and entire nations, it would be monumentally stupid to NOT use it for propaganda and shaping the psyche of a nation/world. A nation ruled by righteous leaders would ensure the production of media that promotes ethical, moral and virtuous behavior in the masses. But since all we see is degeneracy, depravity and filth coming out of these industries, even in content aimed towards children, it's not hard to tell what kind of people are behind them.

I was going to call you an idiot until I read your last remark. You read so little that the only example of unnecessary detail in a book you could cite is from a Stephen King. You probably didn’t even read that. Now I just pity you. The longest book you’ve probably ever read is Harry Potter.

Agreed. Even poets I like (Stevens) were terrible at readings, never mind how rare one is among the throngs of applicants for the title. I can imagine what Coleridge sounded like because of a certain contemporary account (I can't remember whose) and assume that Wordsworth never gave a reading, whether or not that's the case.

It was fun. Lots of them were mixed-media, with music and visual art in addition to poetry reading. Plenty of variety in genre: some neoclassical stuff, some meditative Gertrude-Stein-esque lyric verse, some prose poetry, some slam.

Obviously the quality of new work will vary. You don't have the benefit of criticism or historical hindsight to help you attend only the best events. But the novelty and variety make up for it. If you refuse to engage with the here-and-now, you'll miss out on a lot of innovative work.

My favorite event of the year was the launch party for this book. The ad copy doesn't do it justice. It's a mixed-media work that engages with ritual, liminal space, and the uglier side of "progress." I'm not sure how it would read without the context of the event itself, but I personally enjoyed the text:
