>>8550815
They broke up in '10 though. After releasing their best album (in my opinion), that had reached a hell of a maturity.

The vocalist has released a few solo albums, but sadly, they're shit.

My top 5 books include Lolita, Paradise Lost and Animal Farm. The other two are a spic one (Mulata) and a jap one (1Q84).
As for my favorite records... although the second one has to be Shinsei Kamattechan's Tomodachi wo Koroshite Made, I think my third favorite record is Big Black's Songs About Fucking, so there's one in English.
And when it come to movies... my second favorite one is a jap one too, Confessions of a Dog, but my third and fourth ones are musicals in english, I believe. Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar.

>>8550863
Ah, I had to quote this after the second line >>8550823

I dont know how von trier managed to make one beautiful film and then everything else be hot garbage.

By the way, Frank Ocean is more of an r&b artist than a rapper. Your 'fucking taste' is not good for anything when you just label everything with some buzzword you found on 4chan instead of actually listening to it, and considering that, telling someone else to challenge himself is really hypocritical of you.

Tiedän, että The Villagea ei yleisesti pidetä minään erityisen hyvänä elokuvana, mutta itse tykkään siitä kovasti, ja se on saanut etenkin lopun twistin takia paljon ansaitsematonta arvostelua. Mielestäni elokuvassa on kuitenkin kaikki kohdallaan: miljöö, tunnelma, näyttelysuoritukset, värimaailma, musiikki... oikeastaan siinä ei ole mitään, mistä en pitäisi. Se on se elokuva, jonka haluan joskus syksyisenä iltana katsoa viltin alle käärityneenä elämäni naisen kanssa. Oispa vaan se nainen.

I don't even frequent /pol/ desu, all you really need to do is take a cursory glance at any Finn and it should be pretty self-evident that they're intermixed with the literal snowpeople in the Arctic region, who share genetic similarities to Asians. Either that or all Finns suffer from Down's Syndrome, which would actually be fittingly hilarious.

kek :D

It's a finnish idiom, literally translated as "I can't say juu or jaa" (both meaning "yes")
It has translated "juu" as "jew" ("juutalainen" in finnish) and "jaa" as "ice" ("jää" in finnish)

>>8552946
Yeah, it is a bit parentcore. I don't think there's any psychology behind my taste, its just great art that I picked for this one

>>8552984
>Memegård
Not even a Finn, but please don't imply that fucking Knausgård is better than Kalevala and Edith Södergran.

>>8552991

Just looked up Kalevala. Seems okay, but a country having to wait until the 19th century for their national epic does seem a little embarrassing, no? Virgil got that shit done for Rome before common era, the Finns had to wait until their people escaped the igloo in what I'm assuming was the late-eighteenth to early-nineteenth century.

Even if Knaus is a significantly less-interesting and less-important Proust, that's at least derivative of a work of a good canon within a little over a hundred years.

Less embarrassing than your national epic not taking place in your country or not having one at all.

>>8553046
Dude, pretty much every European country worth their salt has a national epic, and the ones I could list off are significantly more important in scope than Kalevala. If you extend the list to national prose 'epics', anything the Finns have written thus far gets even further buried.

I don't think Finns are horrible people. I love Teemu Selanne. But really, Finns should be sticking to what they are good at, and leave literature to countries that don't base themselves on an unaesthetic niche language.

>>8552680
Derrida is the thinker that follows Nietzsche and Heidegger. Foucault and the other french are too sociologist, Deleuze too pseudo-science, Agamben and stiegler are interesting but not as significant as Derrida. Derrida changed my thinking just as significantly as heidegger did.

Download all his stuff and secondary writing from libgen. Watch lectures on european graduate school by him, avital ronnell, diane davis.

The first thing that really clicked for me was Plato's Pharmacy. It carries Heidegger's thinking on Holderlin's "where the danger is grows also the saving".

>>8553025
The runos of the epic are ancient, it was only in the 19th century that they were written down

>>8552984
>Has literally no examples to rival the likes of Hamsun, Ibsen, even Memegård for fuck's sake

Come back when you have literally even a single example to rival the likes of Sillanpää, Aho, Kivi, or even Canth for fucks sake

You can't stop now that you've already hurt yourself

>>8553094

>It took until the 19th century to write down some igloo moon runes

That's almost kind of worse. I was under the assumption that people around here believed that translations are shit tier, but I'll let it go. Kalevala still isn't matching up to any of the national epics of the major literary European countries.

>Come back when you have literally even a single example to rival the likes of Sillanpää, Aho, Kivi, or even Canth for fucks sake

One guy who won 'muh Nobel' and a bunch of literally who. Again, I'm picking on you with NORWEGIAN literature, which can't hold a candle up to any of France/Italy/Germany/England/Russia/Ireland, and you're still not matching up to Hamsun. Seriously, you ought to stop while you still can manage some dignity on this one.

Tolkein did borrow a fair bit of the Kalevala in writing the LOTR universe to be fair. Turin is a very slightly altered version of Kullervo

And England's takes place in Scandinavia.

>>8553130

No, quality is not based on popularity. But critical praise in conjunction with translation into other languages (as much as translation can fail) can be an indicator of a good work, and these are literally writers in some instances who I doubt have been translated at all out of their native Finnish. Add that Finnish is a niche language that is aesthetically displeasing and lacks no practical functions in the literary sense to begin with, and I begin to cast some doubt as to your claims. Again, I would still doubt that any of their works are better than Hamsun, and I seriously challenge you to bring up those authors in the same vein as Hamsun in front of more professional readers and critics. I'm guessing you'll get put down gently, at the very least.

>>8553133
That's a neat little factoid, but I don't think it means that the Kalevala is any better or worse because of it. Tolkien also borrowed straight from Beowulf in making The Hobbit, but I'm not any more impressed by Beowulf on those grounds either.

This was never even a fair argument to begin with. No right-minded non-snowfucker can honestly say that the Finns have a worthwhile literary canon in regards to the rest of Scandinavia, let alone Europe. It's pretty mad.

>>8553150
Another neat factoid: "The Song of Hiawatha" took its meter straight from Kalevala. The ancient meter is known as the Kalevala meter, but it was/is the standard for any finnic poetry.

>>8553156
He was talking about Beowulf

665KB, 1026x451px

Alright

>>8553185

Again, another neat factoid, but I'm not going to praise a work based on other works that derived some value or inspiration from it. Again, I've already conceded early on that the Kalevala seems okay, simply that it is not in any way comparable to some of the greater epics from the major canons of Europe. If someone is trying to persuade me to get into Finnish literature, or even go so far as to acknowledge its canon, one work is not going far to convince.

...And yeah, I know he was talking about Beowulf. It's called a joke. Like most of the igloo spearchucker Mongoloid shit. Stop being a dense cunt, you dense cunt.

That was my first post in this thread, I expected to see some serious discussion here but instead I get a norwegian burgering the whole fucking thread up

As a casual swiss I don't know much finnish lit, but I've read at least some of the Moomin books and I know that Kalavela is the national epic
For Norway I can say I know Ibsen, but I've never read any of his stuff. Iceland has Edda, but I can't name the national epic of Norway nor Sweden or actually even Denmark.

Again, you are implying that your stupid hunch based on nothing but memes is of any interest to anyone. Kill yourself.

>>8553211

I'm not even Norwegian, I'm simply using a country with a moderately better canon (that's nowhere near the major literary powers of continental Europe, England and Potatoland) as an example of a proper literary canon against these Downie-looking Finncunts. All the posts have ended up being "b-but muh Kalevala" and a cadre of unknowns/pseudo-swedes.

Truly, this is a time of memes.

I still can't believe you're trying to argue that the Finnish canon is worth anything to the major continentals. Like seriously, if you really believe that shit then go argue it where it matters and where the people will have read your Mong-lit.

And then proceed to be laughed at for your shit opinion.

And as you said in
>>8553084

Norway and Sweden are confirmed pretty much non-lit countries with primitive scribblings and no traditions worth mentioning while Finnish literature is thus officially en par with Polish and Danish

>>8553246
>can't believe you're trying to argue that the Finnish canon is worth anything to the major continentals.

Then what the fuck are you going on about? Let the continental write literature, let the Finns play hockey and go spearfishing. Let everyone play to their strengths here ( I could go into why the actual language itself has to do with why some countries prosper in the literary sense while others struggle but it should be fairly self-evident, but also because calling Finns Mongs and shitting on the small amount of literature they do have seems to sperg them out and it's hilarious).

having 'favourite music' is pleb. patricians can appreciate any music because they are knowledgeable in the socio-historical and theoretical contexts of all styles and genres.

>>8554105
Wrong. People who are knowledgeable about a subject can separate the good from the bad. The canonical masterpieces, for example, are good, while almost all popular music is bad.
