why didn't he make a movie?
>>219641608He was a huge recluse and autist he literally had mental breakdowns over the existence of niggers he barely managed to even get his stories published
>>219641650So every other person on this website
>>219641650He had to be pulled out off school because he was pissed off that Italians existed. He was pissed off at Hitler.
>>219641677Basically yeah. Also it was the old days. Film making wasn't a streamlined process like it is today. It would have taken a lot of work and networking that he was simply mentally unequipped to do
>>219641796Exactly, he thought everyone that wasnt him was a demonic entity. It made for kino stories but his life was a mess
>>219641796He dropped out of school because he was shit at maths.
>>219641858Completely retarded, he didn't believe in demons.
>>219641608He was too busy playing with his cat called...I forgot it's name
>>219641608Movies are nigger adjacent activities
>>219641891>MathsBritbong
>>219641914Interestingly, the real Nigger Man was a tortoise shell tabby, not a black cat. Why would you give that name to a cat who wasn’t black?
>>219641908Abominable entities then. Call it whatever you want you know what I'm talking sbout
>>219641608>>219641918
>>219641908He didn't really believe in outside, either. Or touching another human, for that matter
>"Lovecraft, in this scene you have to show the supernatural force attack the person">"I can't. It was indescribable! "
>>219641983I'm a Nigger ManNigger Man burnin' out his fuse up here alone
>hates niggers>names his beloved black cat niggerman>snuggles with little niggerman in bed at night (as reported in The Rats in the Walls)He was... an odd fellow.
I wish I was so racist that I thought all the lights in the sky were Niggers
>>219641608even today making a movie about his stories is hard, and you wanted him to make one in the 1920s?
>Shub-Niggurath
>>219641650>hated darkies>married a Jewess
>>219642370speaking in their black tongues
>>219642612He allegedly never touched his wife, like even by the hand
>>219642647How did she stand it? He wasn't even making any money
>>219642647I read that he sometimes touched fingertips with her.>>219642677>How did she stand it?He had talent. Maybe she thought he would one day get his big break and become rich.
>>219641608>when the jews are so fucking furious about /ourguy/ HP that they have to malign him a century after his deathkekkkkkkkkkkkkk eat shit brown jenkin
>>219641914Futurescientist-man?
>>219641796He even hated himself once he found out he was Welsh.
As a bong, I enjoy reading Lovecraft because he is the perfect caricature of an American. In this passage from The Street (1919), he's sounds much like a modern-day American poltard:>In these writings the people were urged to tear down the laws and virtues that our fathers had exalted; to stamp out the soul of the old America—the soul that was bequeathed through a thousand and a half years of Anglo-Saxon freedom, justice, and moderation. It was said that the swart men who dwelt in The Street and congregated in its rotting edifices were the brains of a hideous revolution; that at their word of command many millions of brainless, besotted beasts would stretch forth their noisome talons from the slums of a thousand cities, burning, slaying, and destroying till the land of our fathers should be no more. All this was said and repeated, and many looked forward in dread to the fourth day of July, about which the strange writings hinted much; yet could nothing be found to place the guilt. None could tell just whose arrest might cut off the damnable plotting at its source. Many times came bands of blue-coated police to search the shaky houses, though at last they ceased to come; for they too had grown tired of law and order, and had abandoned all the city to its fate. Then men in olive-drab came, bearing muskets; till it seemed as if in its sad sleep The Street must have some haunting dreams of those other days, when musket-bearing men in conical hats walked along it from the woodland spring to the cluster of houses by the beach. Yet could no act be performed to check the impending cataclysm; for the swart, sinister men were old in cunning.
>>219641608He died way too youngImagine the literary gems he'd have written in the 60s with the advent of Civil Rights, space travel, Nuclear Brinkmanship, Vietnam, hippies killing people
>>219641650>>219642647hes literally me...
>>219644718That's really smug for someone living next to a migrant tower
>>219642100He wasn't the one who named that cat
he renounced chuddery at the end iirc
>>219641650He wasn't a recluse. He had many close friendships and he loved to travel.He also loved movies, but for whatever reason didn't seem to have interest in being a filmmaker.
>>219645705By joking about britain you have insulted all of islam, prepare for destruction.
>>219642647>>219643069Based on some of his wife's reported remarks, that seems to not be true. He was shy about sex, but it seems that he did fuck his wife.https://www.hplovecraft.com/study/articles/hpl-sex.aspx
AAAAAAHHHHHH IM GOING INSANE AAAAAAAAHHHHHH NIGGERMAN HELP ME AAAAAAAAHHHH
A BOAT?
>>219641858>>219642037That is not even close to true. He had many friends and a wife he had sex with. And he was an areligious materialist.
[HATED TROPE] Lovecraftian movie casts his cat as the main character
>>219641608I don't think the Jews running the show would've liked him very much.
>>219646206That's a common belief, but I don't think it's true. I'm a huge Lovecraft fan, I've read a bunch of his letters, and I've never seen any evidence that he ever renounced chuddery. I think part of the reason why this idea is popular is because it soothes people who like his work but are uncomfortable with his over-the-top racism.
>>219641650>>219641796it's a shame that such a natural chud was born 100 years too earlyhe would have loved posting here
>>219641608Pathetic anti indian racist piece of shit
>>219641650> he literally had mental breakdowns over the existence of niggersBased. One of us.
>>219647697Hindoostanis are not welcome on this Mongolian basket-weaving forum sir
>>219646677I would like evidence of your claims
>>219641608Lovecraft was always living in the shadow of those who inspired him.
>>219648532Maybe during his own time, but he is clearly the more revered one now
>>219648593>but he is clearly the more revered one nowAnd I should care about this, why? This was merely by chance, since his literary rights belonged to nobody, and August Derleth milked off his works to peddle his own stuff for decades until he died. "Lovecraftian" merely means "Dunsanian" for the new generation.
>>219648451You can read his letters which show how deeply and at length he exchanged letters with many different people, including many of the same ones repeatedly over a period of many years.You can also read about his time in NYC and how he hung out with people like Sam Loveman, Frank Long, and Reinhart Kleiner.
>>219648857>>219648911>>219648951His own friends and acquaintances made statements that he didn't travel often. He only made excursions on an important basis, like seeing Dunsany lecture in 1919.Read A Shop in Go-By Street by Lord Dunsany. Literally the complete basis for Lovecraft's works for the next 12 years.
>>219641608Its hard to translate incomprehensible gods and monsters to video format
>>219649054He probably would have traveled a lot more often if he could have afforded to, but he was poor. He did have an enormous emotional attachment to Providence, Rhode Island and felt uncomfortable living anywhere else, but he enjoyed visiting other places.
How would Lovecraft feel that the most accomplished scholar of his works today is a fecaloid?
>>219646805>Sonia also reaffirmed a statement that I have heard from various sources—that when HPL was growing to young manhood, “his mother’s admonitions to him were ‘devastating.’” This possibly pertains to HPL’s looks—his mother did tell him that he was “grotesque” and that he should not go out at daytime for fear of scaring the neighbours.brutal
>>219649054Why are you lying demon ?Even after a century there is no genre called Dunsanian, but there is an entire genre called Lovecraftian.I know you fags don't read his stories actually, all you do is lie and slander. Stay mad, I'm writing more, Fuck you.
>>219650400Dumbest post maybe in 4channel history.
>>219650574Stay mad.
>>219650676Debunked by AI
>>219650766Are you retarded ?Why do you keep lying ?Nobody said Lovecraft invented the concepts moron, that does not mean that he copied Dunsany.Have you actually read Dunsany ? His material is fucking garbage.Again there is a reason Lovecraftian is a thing and you only know about Dunsany because Lovecraft mentioned he existed.You didn't debunk shit.
>>219650875You are as unintellectual as they come. This discourse is tiresome. You bore me. No wonder you think Lovecraft is important “literature”.
>>219650921Yeah leave and go be "bored" somewhere else.
>>219650986Where the Tides Ebb and Flow is far superior to anything Lovecraft ever wrote in his entire life, published or unpublished. https://sacred-texts.com/neu/dun/adta/adta06.htm
>>219651180How do you know ?You clearly haven't read Lovecraft, you just hate that he is popular.
>>219641796We do tend to give angina to a lot of the whites and WASPs.
>>219641608The Cthulhu cults plotted against him
>>219651180Also you are obviously insane and completely disingenuous if you think that a story about a floating corpse in Thames is anyone near as good or interesting as even the worst Lovecraft stories.
>>219644051>WelshDisgusting. Such swarthy ethnics.
>>219644051>welshconfirmed non-white
>>219648857he would have been an avid Twitter user today
>>219641608Movies are slop
>>219651536This guy's while character was great. Fucking hilarious.
>>219655805Reading over Lovecraft's letters with his friends, they really were like a prototype of the Internet, just a bunch of people who found each other by hearing about each other from other friends or seeing each other's names in magazines where they published stuff, then carried on a long correspondence just like an Internet forum, just done through mail.
>>219641608>Implying any of his best concepts can be filmed
>>219649318Big khazar milkers
>2026>still no Lovecraft slop starring Tom Cruise
>>219659050
>>219659863The cat you where thinking of was black btw. This is a different cat.
>>219641608Maybe because he was not successful during his lifetime. He wrote what was considered low end trashy novels at the time. Also he was massively anti-Semitic and guess who was prominent in hollywood.
>>219641891What, all of them?
>>219648857He wasn't a total recluse but he communicated mostly by mail, yeah
>>219641796>He had to be pulled out off school because he was pissed off that Italians existed.Understandable
>>219650359>he should not go out at daytime for fear of scaring the neighbours.He was on the ugly side, but he wasn't the Elephant Man. His mum seems to have believed she had given birth to a circus freak. And to hear that from your mum? Fuck. No wonder he died young.
Is that schizo chief defender of Lovecraft still here? Most pathetic man on /tv/. He would get laughed off /lit/.
>>219663344Why you still thinking about an anonymous poster so hard
>>219648665Lovecraft's Dunsanian stories are not even popular.
Because hollywood is run by jews.
>>219659050Funny pic. I am gradually warming to AI.
>>219663492Lovecraft only became popular the more degenerative the human’s taste in literature became. He was the AI slop of his era. He borrowed and copied from his betters with little or no citation given. And he died lamenting that to his personal friends. His legacy was borne from another man profiting off another man who profited off many. So it goes.
>>219641608How could he when movies barely existed around his time?
>>219664039Lovecraft was very open about his influences retard.
>>219664192Open about his influence to his close circle of personal friends?
>>219664207Who else would he talk about it to? He was not a famous author getting tons of interviews.
>>219664265So all those things he published in weird tales that were blatant copies of stories from Edgar Allen Poe and Dunsany that are heralded today didn’t matter? He got paid 50 cents for them because they were junk. The people like you that celebrate them now make me lol.
>>219664309You have shit taste man. I think thats the source of your problem.
>>219664541The biggest logical fallacy of a Lovecraft shitter is them calling Poe and Dunsany shit when they are who Lovecraft based his entire corpus upon. Make it make sense.
Make an adaptation of More Sinned Against
>>219665033I'm not calling Poe shit but if you only see Lovecraft as a copy and pasting hack you are blinding yourself
>>219641608he made Wacraft
I enjoy Howard's stories more even though Howard can't help it with info dumps
QRD me on what was the deal with Derleth?
>>219641983It came to him with that name. I heard that from Robert Bloch at an SF con in the 70"s.
>>219641608too busy making Facebook
>>219641914>I forgot it's nameN-word Jim
>>219664207He also published an essay called "Supernatural Horror in Literature" that covered all of his major influences.
>>219641608It would just be people pointing at nothing and screaming "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH THE WEIRD ARCHITECTURE" Followed by shots of a black man standing awkwardly in a big room
>>219663344>>219664039Damn, tell us where Lovecraft hurt you.Why are you so mad ?Anyways, just to make feel worse, I have to tell you that there is more Lovecraft coming, so you can have something contemporary to hate. :PStay mad.
>>219669230you*
>>219669230>here is more Lovecraft comingNo there's not. Nobody can properly emulate his tone and expressions. The Color Out Of Space is the closest thing and its garbage with a snide liberal joke about the cats name
>>219669363You mean the movie ? That was fucking insulting garbage.I do not mean the writing and the "tone" only pseudointellectual retards with no talent care about that.I mean the content and the knowledge about what's out there, what's coming etc.
>>219671244Go back to /x/ all thats coming is kikes
>>219671765Nobody asked you.
>>219641858SYBAU spastic retard
Lovecraft married a jewess who claimed he was fantastic at laying pipe. Cope & Seethe redditers.
>>219671845Ahahahahahaha.Not him.Stay mad little demon. :P
>>219641914Grandfather's cat
Spooky
>>219641983>>219666312It was his grandfather's cat
>>219672255What is even going on here why are they fighting why is there an angel why is there a human butcher shop I'm so confused This is not lovecraftian at all by the way other than the confusion
>>219669363I feel that the most Lovecraftian movies that I have ever seen were not actually based on Lovecraft stories.2001: A Space Odyssey, Stalker, and Alien nail that cosmic horror vibe.The Ninth Gate nails that fascination with books.
>>219673418I think it's the drawing that Lovecraft refers to in his story The Picture in the House.
>>219674032No shit because Lovecraft’s works are fucking terrible.
>>219642612He had Jewish friends as well, he didn't mind them so much>>219642647No they had sex. He bought a book about how to be a husband lol and his wife said he was 'reasonably adequate
>>219676010Not /tv/ stop bumping this shill thread
>>219674103so he saw a weird unexplainable painting and went mad?
>>219676160No, he saw a book open to the page with the painting on it in a creepy old man's house.
>>219676065What is this thread shilling? He's dead. He can't make any more money
>>219641608The indie production of Call of Cthulhu was pretty damn good.
>>219679978That looks a bit cheesy
>>219641608The niggerman script was too controversial for modern audiences.
>>219680096They interpreted it as a silent film, and it works great.
>>219680362Oh FFS. Lovecraft didn't name his cat Niggerman; that was the protagonist in The Rats In The Walls, to show what a low-class vulgar man he was at heart; the cat winds up trying to tear the guy's throat out after he goes nuts and kills and cannibalizes his guide. HP gave his cats all these long aristocratic New England aristocratic names like Samuel Huntingdon Perkins III. He had family trees for them for chrissake. Stop repeating internet bullshit.
>>219680818The truth is not fun to shitpost with
>>219680818Based.
>>219676160the denouement of the Picture In The House is thata strange old man living in the woods of New England is actually a 200+ year old cannibal who gained immortality by eating human flesh and collects art about cannibalism because it obsesses him
>>219669146They wouldn't be screaming because it would be a silent film, it would just say "AAHH" on the screen between shots. But stop motion and matte painting existed.
>>219646919If I had time travel tech and I could only use it once I would go back to show him this and laugh my ass off at his bitch ass
>>219684111>I'm incapable of understanding the views of people in 1920 were a reflection of the culture they grew up in and lived in and reflected larger society as a whole
