Why would you even want to anon? Of all the greats you could aspire to imitate why DFW of all people? Just why? It's like you actually desire to be pretentious.

Ligotti is solid. I haven't read much of his work but you should check out Robert W. Chambers. The King in Yellow specifically.

Just read Lud-in-the-Mist, really enjoyed it. Its kind of the Fae meets Cthulhu taking over a town. Not really sword and sorcery, very different from most fantasy I've read. Anyone else read it?

Yeah there is an ENTIRE philosophy field called Aesthetics.

Schlegel/Mendelssohn write some stuff on it
Adorno - Aesthetics
Deleuze has multiple works on the subject

Looking for literature regarding film making, and analysis. Something that focuses more on the art of film, and cinematography. I've grown a lot of interest in film and would like something that can give me a bit of theoretical knowledge on the subject.

At this precise moment there are passionate young men sacrificing a life of ease, social conquest and material comfort for the sake of producing great art. How can post-college /lit/ users justify their slow drift towards regret and mediocrity?

As a NEET, I can't imagine the sort of self-hating and masochistic personality that allows a person to submit their will to the demands of other people. To waste their life and any potential they have performing some tedious daily routine for the purpose of making a lot of money for other people.

NEETs are usually incapable of understanding the motivations and aspirations of others not exactly like themselves.
There's probably a link between being NEET and being autistic.

"Men are full moons--always--regardless of the phase they're in."
"My mother put her hand on my head/neck/back--tip, tip, tap--lightly like benediction, sanding my skin with glass."
