No

They'd probably spend their time jerking off to exotic pornography and posting retarded shit here.

>>9283917
If Pynchon shitposts on this board, I figure Joyce would have as well - except 10x harder.

>The woman is not always sighing with sham passion, when she joins her body to the man's and holds him in a close embrace, sucking his lips and moistening them with kisses. Ollen she is sincere and in search of mutual joys spurs him on to run the race of love to the goal. The same applies to female birds and beasts, cows, ewes, and mares: they could not submit to the male, were it not that their own exuberant nature is in heat 1200 and aflame with desire and gladly draws in the penis of the mounting male. -Lucretius - Book IV

Ummm, it's kinda ageist to imply that arguing with teenagers is somehow supposed to be the punchline of the story... but checked xD

I can't wait for the 100 year 4chan anniversary, but sadly I doubt I'll live to see it.

2053 would be the centennial, I'll probaby see that.

>>9283899
>he thinks a centennial is 50 years

He's kind of a sick fuck so if you don't want to hear about his perversion and being a fag then just read Sea of Fertility and Temple of the Golden Pavillion

i started with confessions of a mask, not a bad place to begin

Currently reading Spring Snow. It's pretty good

Would you fuck that giant tub of lard?

most of what Hunter S Thompson wrote was about those weird aliens, the Americans. they are the most other of the others.

Cinema is all about visceral appeal whilst literature is all about intellectual appeal. You can't even compare the two.

>>9283840
There is great cinema, like the confession scene in the seventh sign, that approaches literary excellence.

But as a whole work? I've yet to see a movie that transcends >>9283851 "visceral appeal". As with videogames, too much money is required to shoot a movie to allow true auteur artistic freedom that a novelist takes for granted.

fanfiction.net would be a good place, but I can't fathom why would you ever write fanfiction of one of the dullest franchises in history. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

he was a crazy man with good intentions. Its a nice example of a person whos trying to be a and do good in the world but fails mostly and often makes things even worse in the end. Really can relate to this characterstics. If you read a bit about the autor, he lived similiar. Studied theologie but ended as a soldier and mercanary, even spent long time in jail and as a warprisonor. A man who wanted to be a good element in the world, but maybe failed and even brought more bad in it while he tried.

In truth, he was the only sane one

it said in the book he was crazy
