When Watchmen came out, everyone just ignored it and went back to making fascist comics and fascist movies of those comics. Same with movies, rather than deal with the new terrain of great movies in the 70s hollywood just produced a bunch of crap like star wars and now we've become so decadent we can't even make new crap. I always thought it was ironic we read 'The grapes of wrath', 'the jungle', and overtly socialist literature in school when something like that could never be published or created as a movie today.
no way you are this fucking stupid

Go get a green curtain on a rod and hold it up in front of yourself and you shout Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain when someone tries to talk to you

i'm a seven year old with attention deficient hyperactive disorder and i truly, unironically, uncynically like a lot of things. i feel like it makes me more authentic than most kids my age. i guess you could say i'm an "old soul".

deadken posted:star wars 7 will be worthless, the star wars prequels were worthless, the original trilogy were worthless, watchmen was worthless, ulysses was worthless, duchamp was worthless. the only cultural texts of any value are the novels of samuel beckett, and they only because they demonstrated how utterly pointless the entire endeavour is. we should now put aside such nonsense and devote ourselves to unfeeling mechanical sex, analytic philosophy, and building socialism and/or barbarism

culture owns, it's what makes us human

deadken posted:you might as well say that religious persecution or sexual neuroses or obesity make us human, you'd have more of a case
These are obviously true as well, what's your point?
Love, music, industrial genocide, art, calculated rape, imperialism, creativity, these all make us human
getfiscal posted:it's a pretty well established fact that adults that are fans of space shows like star wars and star trek are child molestors. myfanwy had a good article about it before.
Considering how much they talk about their childhood getting raped it seems like there's a cycle of abuse going on.
