Visca Valençia gabachos de merda
mais une fois le but atteint, notre monde à changé. radicalement. tout ce qui allait de soi, il fallait maintenant le maintenir avec un effort qui nous consumait, qui nous laissait épuisés et donc incapables de faire tout ce nous faisions si aisément auparavant... ou si l'on se donnait la force de le forcer, le résultat n’était guère proche de ce qui nous avait toujours fait remarquer, et le coût pour notre personne ne nous permettait de le faire souvent. du coup, on s'est demandé si l'on était prêts à nous en consacrer d'une manière si intense, tout en sachant que l'on ne ferait qu'atteindre la moyenne... et c'est là, en posant cette question, que l'on s'est rendu compte de tout ce que l'on avait toujours pris pour évident. le regard que l'on avait sur le monde et sur nous mêmes à été ébranlé et notre direction a changé... des nouvelles voies se sont ouvertes, mais les anciennes se sont fermées à leur tour.
cela m'est sorti de la tête comme ça :3

anyone else like the thought/appearance of reading more than reading itself?
Yes
I only read in public when I'm sitting in the hallway waiting for class to start and I'm so easily embarassed by everything I read such that the cover is not visible. Incidentally, reading with the book in my lap where the cover cannot be seen is the comfiest way for me to read, but still.

Discussion relating to J.R.R Tolkien and his books. Am I the only one who found the Lord of the Rings to be incredibly boring?

Nah, you're not the only one.Not me though, you fucking faggot with a shit taste.
>there will never be a fantasy series like LoTR again
I especially hate writers bringing up real life medieval Europe as their basis for their shithole of a medieval world. There are only a few who really feels like a fantasy world, like Earthsea for example. And God help if they go into medieval politics.
I wanted to rip my hair out while reading the books. I like the story and everything but there was just too much detail. It was boring af

I'm a Leaf and despite how much they push her as the only Nobel Prize in Literature winner this country has produced, I've never heard of anyone who read her works or even cares.

She's written a lot of stories, so she might have one worth reading.
"The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short."

Looking for some good books on filmmaking/theory/screenwriting, photography as well if you know any. Only one I have at the moment is Sculpting in Time.
Pic related, heard it was good, any thoughts on it?
Last bump.
bazin what is cinema
eisenstein film form
eisenstein film sense
deleuze and guattari cinema the movement image

roland barthes camera lucida
susan sontag on photography
avoid sculpting in time unless you are interested specifically in tarkovsky. i hear it recommended as a book on film theory often and it could not be further.
for film history mark cousin's story of film is good.
if you are interested in filmmaking and not criticism though, reading film theory will not help you in the end. like writing you're going to have to grab a camera and go do it.

Just picked this up, good book?
Been thinking about writing for a month or two.
After realizing that I will probably not write my postmodern magnum opus at the first try,I decided to settle on a post apoc theme.
And I feel like there are bad spirits looming around,watching these events unfold,making sure I make a mistake.
After a year of elitism,writing genre fiction feels oddly wrong and sinfully wonderful!
