Years ago I went to go see a screening of Eraserhead with a friend of mine and my girlfriend. I really enjoyed it. They both talked about how awful it was the entire way home. My girlfriend ended up cheating on me with him. I still love Eraserhead. Fucking tastelet retards.

Very moody choices, fag. You should focus your attention on music instead. People who are into literature and video games tend to be quite autistic and genuine and they'll notice you for the fraud that you are instantly. Music fans, however, are all frauds, and you'll fit right in. You can pretend to be deep for liking Joy Division and you'll go unchallenged because you'll be surrounded by retards doing the exact same thing.
>>24763510Music is the most immediate and ephemeral art form and this is a good thing.
>>24763510eh his choices are fine, go fuck yourself
See? You can make fraudulent, pretentious statements like ''music is the most immediate and ephemeral art form'' and it sounds like it means a lot and it'll impress the art hoes that you're after much more with a lot less effort than reading Infinite Jest.
>>24763529I think fleeting is the word I was looking for. I'm primarily a music fag so I love how you can put on music and be struck with strong emotions within seconds and then be in a completely different place a moment later. I also mostly enjoy film and literature like this. I prefer the immediate impact of a scene over following a long story.
>>24763510You’re comparing with books that are more the equivalent of classical music, with music that is more the equivalent of Harry Potter
>>24763643By the admittedly low standards of rock music Ian Curtis is a fairly strong lyricist.
>>24763728Rowling is a fairly strong author by the standards of the fantasy genre
>>24763740Yeah. Okay. I kneel.
>>24762226>Inferno, Diary of a Madman, Strindberg>Virus, Komatsu>The Lime Works, Bernhard>Demons, DostoBetween the humor and farce of Crime and Punishment, and Eraserhead, watch some Jacques Tati (Lynch's fav, "My Uncle").
>>24762226I'd highly recommend you read Solaris and the movie adaptation (both inspired Silent Hill 2).

>>24763742Good girl
>>24763971Blood Meridian, Disco Elysium, and There Will be Blood?
>>24763485>Dota 2Based, that game is really fun. All the different mechanics and interactions and strategy and stuff makes it so it never gets boring
>>24763089dipshit
>>24763089lol
>>24763941Diary of a Madman is by Gogol
>>24763510The equivalent of "classical music", which is too broad of a term in the first place, would be the Greeks.
>>24765938>art music is a very broad category so I am going to pair it with art literature of a narrowly defined category
>>24765973Haha I love froggo
>>24762226Lot of Jungian ideas in Silent Hill, so I would reccomend him. There's even Jung's map of the psyche in the SH2 remake. I like The Essential Jung, it gives a really nice overview. Long but def worth itThe Third Policeman is a similar concept without monsters. I was kind of bored by it and it wasn't scary but the end made it worth the read. Scanner Darkly is psychological and deals with perception of reality. I read Bruges la Morte after it being recommended it based off Silent Hill 2 and it was ok. It was short and is reminiscent of the Mary/Maria storyline. For movies I love Jacob's Ladder and there's a youtube video explaining how SH2 was inspired by it. There's also a video series on Jungian concepts in SH (Max Derrat).I have yet to find any books or movies with monsters/horror like SH despite my years of half-assed searching
>>24762585Posers, like the kind who claim they just loooooove Crime And Punishment?
I don’t have a high opinion of rock musicians as poets. They are all vastly inferior to the great poets of the last 50 years (Heaney, Merrill, Zukofsky, Brodsky, Ashbery, Ammons, Brathwaite, Akhmatova, Yetvushenko, Herbert, Rozewicz, Holan, Ekelof, Elytis, Octavio Paz, Luzi, Zanzotto, Sereni… ) If you really want to read poetry, there are dozens and maybe hundreds of poets who are better than any rock musician.My view has always been that rock music is underestimated as music but overestimated as poetry. There are many rock compositions that can easily stand next to the works of Messiaen, Shostakovic, Elliot Carter, Hovhaness, Lutoslawski, Milton Babbitt, Lou Harrison, Karel Husa, Xenakis, Ligeti, Penderecki, Boulez, Stockhausen, etc. Instead I find it hard to place any pop/rock/folk musician next to the greatest poets.
>>24766016Forgot to also mention two short stories from Kafka that read like nightmares: A Country Doctor and The Judgement
