Anybody who has seen the film. Is the movie worth watching?

>>80277242
Yeah, you can tell it's made on a budget, but it has some great dialogue and incite into writing, depression, tv, etc. Also interesting to watch Segel play this type of character.

Fucking pleb. The real thing isn't that good to begin with. It's just physical and chemical stimulation. Drugs already far surpass sex. Technology will too in the future. If you think tech can't beat a warm wet whole between a mediocre-looking (in most cases) girl's legs, you don't really understand the power of technology or the human desire to push technology.

Never heard of this guy (I'm a complete book pleb) but I like these quotes. I don't want to go to /lit/ so /tv/ where should I start with him, or what are his best works?

>>80277742
to start read "the broom of the system" that should give a feel for the style, if you are into books, his big heroes were pynchon and delillo and his style of "hysterical realism" (even though this term is retarded) is somewhat similar to them.

He also wrote a ton of essays which i believe can be found online that are another good starting place

http://www.lynchnet.com/lh/lhpremiere.html here is one of them about david lynch thats quite a good read

Infinite Jest is his so called "masterpiece" but i would not start with that cuz its really long and very idiosyncractic.

I will laugh at you after you take of you autistic goggles just to find yourself sitting in a dark room that reeks of cum, while I will cuddle in bed with a cute girl while we both breathe deeply, still shake a little and enjoy the warmth of our naked bodies.

Visit /lit for dave posting. Probably the best meme they ever came up with besides katie

>>80278737
Understanding that sex is overrated is something people who are experienced at it believe--whereas your sentiment, that it's so good it's impossible to replicate that kind of pleasure--is something a teen inexperienced with sex would believe.

I've had sex with multiple attractive women, and even more mediocre-looking ones, despite your memes about "being in a dark room and masturbating." There's literally no way technology won't be able to outdo the pleasure a good-looking girl can.

It's just sheer ignorance of technology or teenage inexperience with sex to argue otherwise.

It's not about sex itself, it's about the fact that no matter what, human being is sociable creature and intimate contact with others is something that everybody needs. No AI is ever going to replace this.

If AI can replicate intimate contact or even exceed it in quality then, yes, it can replace it. For example, this webm is already superior to any relationship I've had with a woman.

Why did DFW wear that dumb bandana on his head

>>80278737
Sex can be ok.

It really is only better than fapping if 1) she's REALLY experienced and good at it or 2) you both have a deep emotional bond that heightens the physical pleasure.

Other than that most orgasms are better by yourself.

Sex with someone you love feels better than with a random sloot.

The intimacy comes from the private contact that you both share that can't be explained to other people.

Not the one you're chatting with, but it's clear you're a sad git who has given up on ever developing a healthy, thriving relationship with another human, much less a female. You're equating pleasure with happiness, which is a fallacy only committed by the naive and selfish.

In the beginning I think it was because he was sweating a bunch from the spotlights when doing readings and tv interviews, then after a while it became something that comforted and soothed him

>>80277242

As a fan of DFW, and neither a fan of Eisenberg nor Segel, I did enjoy this movie, some really good interactions, some awkward moments , but overall a good little film, the ending was superb in my opinion if you're familiar with DFW writings. I almost wanted to hate it, but I didn't

>>80280213
It disturbs me just how close to his writing style this is.

>>80280605

No--the concept of replacing social contact seems very distant, but that doesn't mean that we won't be able to replicate it.

Whatever feeling we get from intimate social contact is ultimately due to chemical and physiological means. Thus, we can replicate those feelings.

The idea we can't is basically saying that the feelings we get from social contact are MAGIC, or some sort of religious/spiritual mechanism. Scientific, physical/chemical explanations don't stop at issues that we don't yet fully understand and can fully manipulate--you don't get to say feelings based on intimate contact are magical just because we don't understand them fully yet.

What you're saying isn't different from someone 200 years ago believing humans arose "magically" from Eden just because we didn't fully understand evolution yet.

This is a valid critique that I've never been able to come to terms with. As a creative non-fiction essayist Wallace's abilities were off the charts. His fiction, on the other hand, always seems like someone who is trying too hard to be clever. I think it has something to do with what he viewed as the utility of fiction, it functioned as a medium for his thoughts but he never developed a satisfying level of prose styling or story telling panache.
