The irony is that this re-edited image trying to bash books still implies that a poorly written passage in a book is more substantial than a film. Try again /tv/.

Book
>The spear that slew Titanic, slumbering softly in a quiet sea, its powers of violence veiled by the black waters and velvet night, its beauty an illusion gifted by the fickle moon. But I, I with my bones forever chilled, frozen on a summer day by the spectral tendrils of that cold salt sea, am not fooled by its sheen of virgin white.

I just saw this thread on /tv/ and the sheer amount of people that have never read a book but still try to describe them is hilariously pathetic.

/tv/ Opinion Highlights

>There's a lot of fat in books. Good movies are very lean.
>Books are poorly written when it comes to describing something to the readers
>a book does not compare to a well made movie
>books are a dying outdated medium
>/lit/fags acting like their shitty medium is better because it takes an hour to describe something that can be shown in 5 seconds in a movie
>I've never understood the film vs book debate, if it's the same story or same information conveyed, just with differing mediums, what's the difference?

People on /tv/ actually said this.

/lit/ knows much more about film than /tv/. That's why I'm disappointed that you faggots are actually making an effort to display the literary medium's superiority. Both are utilized to craft different desired aesthetics. Don't take the bait.

The difference is that we have a text based culture and most people are "visually illiterate".

It's impossible to tell what /tv/ knows, because half of them are only pretending to be retarded and the other half are pretending to be the best-versed cinéastes in the world.

>I'm disappointed that you faggots are actually making an effort to display the literary medium's superiority.

The ones who try the hardest to pose on /lit/ like they have something to prove whenever their board rep or medium are concerned are always the younger posters.

And you'll no doubt find that the majority of posters who slam film the hardest on /lit/ are usually woefully lacking in erudition when it comes to the subject. Those who have decent taste in both know enough to avoid that absurdity altogether.

Go to any thread about a "film" (not movie, they'll emphasize) and you'll find everyone saying how OP's taste is terrible and posting copypastas of the most obscure directors someone could find and spamming "film is a visual medium."

>> No.6007707

>>6007679
I don't have an issue so much with the comparison. But it is honestly fascinating to see someone sincerely claim that literature could somehow become outdated. As if one day books will just go out of print and everyone will learn everything through visual mediums.

But yes, the whole argument is a sophomoric pissing contest.

Have you been on /tv/ recently? It's half ALL CAPS quotes about Star Wars, The Hobbit, and Bane, and another quarter something-something-cuck, and they've got copy-pasta lists of "Favorite: 1. Movies 2. Films 3. Cinema 4. Kino". You can't really tell how smart someone on the internet is if they're specifically acting like everyone else.

This. The same could be said for music and even vidya. /lit/, for all it's flaws, can actually discuss higher art on an intelligent level from time to time. Lately, there's been a fuck ton of shit posting and memeing though, so we're not far off from turning into another /mu/, /tv/, or /v/.
