you can't save something created by beings (humans) who are objectively shit.

The only great things acomplished in human history have been by a very select minority of thinkers, speakers, doers. a half of a millionth of a percent are responsible for all progress. Because the average human is fucking garbage. They're unmotivated, unitelligent, uninspired, boring, and probably a real fucking asshole too.

And so we see a pattern repeat itself throughout history

someone creates or invents something that's great (nerd culture)

it gets swarmed by normies and becomes popular

then it becomes shit garbage trash

And THIS is why I stay in my room all day and have never had sex in my entire life

But he acknowledges that this kind of films are kid films. He's not pretending these are adult films that should be treated like serious films.

even if we allow for sam and frodo to not be magical in nature (even though they are) all their problems/conflicts are solved with either a magic ring, magic sword, magic bread, magic rope, their magical (if capricious) sidekick, a literal goddamn wizard, or some other form of magic I'm not remembering.

something you need to get over first is this desire to depoliticize the situation by reducing it to a personal level (people being childlike, desensitized etc). notice how out out of all of these quotes only the first one actually mentions capitalism, all the other ones seem aware of the problem but only dare express it in personal terms.

nerds are better customers than non-nerds. they are a fusion of adult and childish behavior. they won't just buy a movie ticket, they will buy potentially endless amounts of merchandise. they will spend their own time and money to market products they like. unlike fickle children, nerds rarely grow out of anything. they will complain about products but they will still buy them. they don't treat fiction as fiction, they treat it as a gateway to a parallel universe, and desire to have this universe endlessly expanded upon. this obviously matches company goals of selling shit forever.

that's why companies are now engaged in a conscious campaign to change all people into nerds. this has happened before: notice how one of the main effects of the supposedly-radical counterculture of the 60s and 70s was creating improved consumers, people who buy even more things than their parents and feel less guilty about it. in the 50s you bought shit to impress the neighbors and you were becoming vaguely anxious about consumerism. in the 70s you bought stuff because it "expressed the real you" and you were openly disdainful of consumerism even as you engaged in it thanks to a newly acquired power of doublethink. now you buy shit because it says "star wars" on it, and not engaging in consumerism is unthinkable because "being a star wars fan" is the core of your identity and if you stopped desiring star wars things there would be nothing left of you.

none of this is reversible. you can't fix it with hashtags and fantasies of "voting with your wallet". none of this is going away unless capitalism itself collapses.

>>81010051
This is a dumb comment. The only magical help Frodo and Sam have after parting with the rest of the fellowship is the Ring, which is a burden, some magical bread, which is a plot device so we dont have to care about "omg where did they get food???" and the magical light from Galadriel which is a minor help. You just cant compare that to nobodies like Rey, Luke, Harry Potter who wake up and one day find out they have godlike powers who put them in the elite above 99.9999% of the population.

Theres a reason tumblr loves Harry Potter, Daenerys from GoT and Rey; its because they are nobodies (like the tumblrinas) who through no hard work at all one day have super powers. Its escape fantasies for loser. It doesnt apply to Frodo and Sam because they actually have to do really hard physical and mental work for no personal reward.

>>81009453
the only difference is that lucas is talking about his fans behaving like adolescents instead of like children. this paranoia over one's interests being perceived as inappropriately childlike is a major feature of adolescence.

Indeed there are, but there are also good books. There is very very few good films outside of good entertainment things.

No. There are tons of great films. People just don't watch them. Claire Denis is alive and making films. Apichatpong Weerasethakul is alive and making films. Pedro Costa too, or the Dardenne brothers, or Michael Mann or Kelly Reichdhart. There are as many great films as many great books if you just go and try to find them. The things that Bresson, Dreyer or Tarkovsky or Kurosawa or Antonioni did have nothing to fear when compared to great literature.
>>
>>81010676
Sorry, I should have qualified. Mainstream. Same shit applies to books. There is a reason why Twilight was successful. It's about a teenage girls choice between bestiality and necrophilia, written for tweens. Ta-da. Instant seller.

As a left winger commie I gotta say I couldn't agree mor with you. There's nothing more "human" than capitalism.
>>
>>81010992
I mean that's fine. That's perfectly fine. I'd rather people read Twilight or GoT than didn't read. But it's even more diluted in films because films are a visual medium and shit needs to attract the mouthbreathing retards who can't stop looking at their phone. This is why capeshit works, because it keeps people engaged and when they slip to look at their phone, there is (or was no need) to pay attention. You know that guy is the baddie and those guys are the goodie. Awesome. All done. But even capeshit can't do that right (though granted it seems to be only BvS that has failed in this regard) and so we're left with more dilution. More action. So even book adaptions, like Ender's Game, gets turned into an action fest that destroyed any complicated nuances in the book.

But my ultimate point is, anybody who shits on films for being action shit needs to stop being pretentious, cause guess what? Films need to be like that to keep people hooked. Which is fine.
>>
>>81010609
Oh, you mean the ones who are NOT in LotR but in a compilation of scribbles by the author? I know them.
Silmarillion is great, but I don't think it applies
>>
>>81011107
I don't see it as "fine" when we say that "the need to pay attention" is superfluous and dispensable. Nobody is forcing nobody to watch a movie. If you don't want to watch a movie, then don't. But this "I want to watch a movie, but I don't want to have to watch it in an active way" is pernicious both to society (who thinks that attention to other people's messages are not important) and the medium itself, who gives way to this kind of works over other ones that are more "difficult", and I'm not talking about avant garde shit here, I'm just talking about movies where you have to pay attention just to know what's going on. Just my personal opinion, tho. I don't want to sound like a total asshole to you, but this really makes me furious.

Also, I'd rather have people not read at all than to read shit for the same motives. It motivates them to behave in a virtue signaling, faux cultural superior way when they have not earned it. To stain yourself with shit is worse than being in a cultural blank slate.

>films need to be like that to keep people hooked

>>81011248
You misunderstood. I was saying that action films and shit that doesn't really require much thought is fine. But the problem is it isn't countered by shit that isn't like that. I don't even have a smart phone, not that I would look at it anyway. The problem is suits have to deal with this and don't want to deal with it. There is a reason why it's either capeshit, book adaptions or horror.

As for not having people read, I don't agree. My hope is people will read something like Twilight and then move onto something more complex. Yes, you have people who buy books just to put them on the coffee table to pretend to look smart and maybe have read a summary to fob off somebody who asks a question. Sadly you get people who read shit just to say they've read it. My dad is 72 and has read thousands of books, he always has a book on the go. Yet he couldn't cope with reading LotR, he just couldn't cope and he read it in like 1960. He's tried many times but can't do it. That doesn't mean he reads nothing complex, he does, but some books are beyond people either through the way they're written or the content they're about. Meaning you're not going to jump into whatever from the getgo.

>>81011367
I see you're out of your comfort zone, trying to actually read for once, it's OK. Read it a few more times and you'll see what i meant. But my guess is you're just shitposting, so I'll just hide your reply.

>>81011367
Did you not get his point? That films are being made to be action filled so people pay attention so they don't review it and go "OHH GOD I WAS SO BOOORED". Faggot. Learn to read you cretin.

>>81011248
He wasn't saying they were being forced to watch a film. Only that people don't like feeling dumb and that making a film that requires paying attention is not going to result in $$$ when people go on their Instagram or whatever and go "SO BORED #BORED #WASTEOFMONEY #INSERTFILMNAME".

>>81011463
You're not explaining yourself properly. You need to explain to retards on /tv/ who need to be reminded that films are made for $$$ and not for shits and fucking giggles. There. Now you've explained why films are action fests, because people don't want to feel lost or dumb in a film.

There's also the Sting, a magic elf-sword, magical rope, magic cloaks that offer nearly complete concealment. Also the Hobbits seem to have an innate "magic" that makes them by default stealthy and hard to track, as well as an innate resistance to corruption from the Ring.

>have godlike powers who put them in the elite above 99.9999% of the population.
so like Frodo being adopted and made the heir of one of the wealthiest and most important Hobbits in the Shire, as well as being given a magic Ring?

>Its escape fantasies for loser. It doesnt apply to Frodo and Sam because they actually have to do really hard physical and mental work for no personal reward.
Because somehow going to "paradise" at the end in a ship with a literal angel and high Elves isn't a reward. And of course they did recieve a great deal of help, both direct in the form of Faramir, but also indirectly through Aragorn and co. marching to the Black Gate, as well as the Eagles saving their asses from the volcano. And of course the help of the actual God himself making Gollum fall into the volcano to complete the Quest in the first place.

The capefags of today are no different than the monks from centuries ago or the adorers of totems from millenia ago. All human cultures have included some form of inane obsessions with fiction or unimportant pop culture. The only difference now is that you have the internet to see the faces of the type of people who have been indulging in this crap forever.

What should NOT be done is wage class warfare and enslave/execute millions of people AGAIN, ie promote a communist society

>>81012504
not at all. he's saying people want superficial signs of "childishness" purged from their movies and replaced by superficial "toughness", to feel less embarrassed. he does not mention "adult themes" at all.

don't have time to post a big explanation right now but for the relationship between counterculture and business you'll want to read "the conquest of cool" by thomas frank.

Whatever man I won't let you shift the discussion or the goalposts to something else since you already got called out and lost. Just don't use muh human nature as a argument for anything else senpai

any criticism of the dominant ideology of capitalism immediately triggers defensive memes

That wall is basically saying "I hold extreme importance to sitting on my ass and passively engaging my brain with media created by others for the purposes to make money off of me."

That's because to Lucas appealing to children involves slapstick comedy. His own movies and LOTR movies proves you can appeal to adults and children through proper world building instead of gag humour
>>
>>81013891
the problem with this conversation is that i'm simply telling you what that quote says whereas you have all these elaborate fantasies about this "george lucas" person that you want to talk about instead. i don't really care about george lucas or what you imagine he believes.

The pic isn't about that. It's about not being able to discuss real life topics without pop-culture references.

>i want discuss modern media, but only apolitically!

you're legit the stupidest person in this thread
>>
>>81012444
>I'm simply describing the human brain and biological instincts
You're just saying the words "neurobiology," "science," "human nature," and so on, and then saying they agree with your conclusions with literally zero explanation whatsoever.

>>81013299
Looks cool thanks.

>>81011608
Have you even read that book?

>>81013379
And we're right and leftists have no argument

You people are a religion

>zero explanation
What?

I didn't know I needed to explain the definition of commonly accepted scientific concepts to you people.

Are you this scientifically illiterate?

Your entire ideology is a joke.

That guy want me.

He was right though.

Sometimes I feel that Communists never actually want to realise their dream and instead just kind of whine about it.

>Human nature is a commonly accepted scientific concept
It isn't, there is no common agreement. It's a buzzword and you couldn't explain yourself if you tried.

Sometimes I feel like right wingers don't want to confront the flaws of capitalism and whatabout this hard over an ideology they probably don't understand

So you're saying that film has no potential as an art medium other than entertaining people's fat asses with explosions? Nice thinking dude...
