it's recommended that you read all of his prior fiction and non-fiction and the DT Max biography and probably several interviews before diving into IJ. I find it easier to read during the day.

I really just wanted to post this because he ate his son and was fine with it.

Dennis Potter is unbeaten

/lit/ doesn't take kindly to anything.

Say what you will about his actual films, but Rick Alverson's scripts are absolutely GOAT. The script to Entertainment might be more gut wrenching than the actual film.

List of the Lost by Morrissey

Pulp magazines.

funny thread.

>>8369251
I'm seriously asking why

Fsktskykgkgkzg

Id' like to hear what kind of reasoning went into putting those specific movies under each board.

>>8369181
Youth was a shit film btw

I agree with your sentiment, but I don't see a way to change all of this. To be honest, it's not like this board has been a beacon of culture, discussion and interesting shit during these last few years.

this thread sure helped raise the bar

I agree with you but as long as we are outnumbered we will slowly be flooded out. It's a pity, but I guess it's the way of things. I suppose I will add the worst stuff to my filter and continue to participate in quality threads even though they are rare.

I reckon this thread is pretty neutral since sometimes you do need to talk about meta things. The only people who disagree with bring attention to bad things are the very same people supporting those bad things.

You believe that Kallipolis is meant to be a literal model of government?

I guess democracy is shit. I can't help but see similarities in Plato's tripartite conception of the soul and Freud's psychoanalytic models of the unconscious mind, I don't know if the similarity was intentional. He made a good point about sense summoning attributes of ordinary objects (appendages) in relation to abstract entities. The life of a philosopher king is thankless. Republic was probably the first attempt I've seen to lay out a framework for unifying what would eventually become physics and metaphysics. An all around swell defense of the rationalist project and a thought provoking schema for the relationship between body, mind and nature. I award it a 10 out of 10. thanks obongo
