I went to my local library, and guess what. It wasn't on the shelf. A check of the catalog and apparently, no version at the library.

They did have Trump's Crippled America though-which I checked out with the qt3.14 at the desk.

I am yet to see a picture of David at the weight they portrayed him in TEOTT.

Jason was on a strict diet of hot pockets and cream puffs, and was told not to do any strenuous activity in preparation for the film.

I have a feeling it had something to do with Jason looking a bit too tall and lanky, as appose to david having more of a stocky build. They probably planned on making him gain weight, and then getting him to tone, but ran out of time.

The Wallace estate as well as his editor have disavowed the film, not because it gets anything factually wrong but because it does something that Wallace would never have wanted: it turns him into a character.

It's very hard to take the end of this movie seriously with Eisenberg’s Lipsky crying while reading to a large crowd from his own book about Wallace while the movie flashes back to David dancing a free-form, child-like dance in slow-motion inside a church; it’s an image — an embarrassing idea — that would drive any writer as smart and image-conscious as Wallace to self-annihilation.

“Be a good guy,” Wallace begs Lipsky near the end of the movie in its most cringe-worthy moment, gently pleading, taking him to task, and though this might be a very honorable way to live your life as a bro, it’s a terrible idea for a writer. But this movie falls in line with the contemporary cult of likability and in doing so makes one of the most interesting writers of our generation so much less interesting — it turns him into an adorable baby panda, with the Lipsky character often staring at Wallace in wonderment as if DFW was some kind of bandana-wearing E.T. It’s ultimately a dangerous thing for readers and actors and filmmakers to look to writers for instruction on how to live, but The End of the Tour thinks it’s doing something noble by taking this idea seriously and buying into the self-help-guru, platitude-spouting David and ignoring the man of massive and severe complications.

If you liked it you liked it. You shouldn't beat yourself up over it

Make your own decisions, manbaby

>>7649505
I'm asking if the book changes style; the only way I could make my own decision would be to read the whole thing. I don't want to do that if it's the same all the way through.

Science fiction and Fantasy are for kids.

Why were you so desperate to start a new thread that you'd make a shitty one from your phone when the old one hasn't hit the bump limit yet?

Jukes Verne is a pretty cool guy. I liked 20,000 Feet Below The Ocean personally.

>I can't wait for the newest one, I think /lit/ will agree with me.
I have no reason not to agree that you can't wait for the newest one, so that's a pretty safe assumption.

Secondary lierature is basically everywhere
Where have you been the last 50 years, you must be new

Of course there's secondary literature everywhere. I wasn't asking if secondary literature existed, I was asking for a certain type and quality of secondary literature (or alternative literature dealing with the subject better than McLuhan does).

I can familiarize with what you're saying on too many philosophers.

Has someone read the original fragments? How different they are if they are different at all?

The ending is the same in the first and in the definite edition.

>>7650264
What do you think about it?

So definite edition is pretty much the same?

Gass' utter contempt for the whole of humanity helps me feel less hollow. Though they're both just different ways to wither, being bitter is better than being empty.

The worst, was trying to read the communist manifesto printed by penguin. It was literally 120 pages of introduction then the tiny manifesto itself.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Deleuze

>>7650229
Desde 1992, seus pulmões, afetados por um câncer, funcionavam com um terço da capacidade. Em 1995, só respirava com a ajuda de aparelhos. Sem poder realizar seu trabalho, Deleuze atirou-se pela janela do seu apartamento em Paris, em 4 de novembro de 1995. Seus seguidores consideraram seu suicídio coerente com sua vida e obra: "Para ele, o trabalho do homem era pensar e produzir novas formas de vida"

What literature isn't a meme? Is it memes all the way down?

the movie is better

I saw the movie first actually, still enjoying the book. Although I will admit I am envisioning it narrated by Johnny Depp still.

No it isn't
