>a capeshit watcher will scream pretentiousness at the sound of an arthouse film title

I have never seen any capeshit fan say capeshit is better than arthouse.

Harry Potter is legitimately bookkino.
Try Twilight.

you really are a pretentious twat though, and you look like an idiot

I was like you once. I held the belief that inaccessible, raisin-dazin' films about 1930's foreign men and their troubles were somehow superior exactly because people of the great unwashed masses do not understand. It became a way for me, when I felt cold and alone, to label them as plebs and vulgar barbarians and wouldn't make good friends anyway.

However, it seemed I had confused cause and effect. The reason no one wanted to hang around me wasn't that they felt superior to my great intellect. It was because of my constant negging, incessant whining, and giving people the stink-eye for saying they like something popular.

So I moved out of my mother's basement, cut my hair and got a job. Suddenly, the 1930's foreign man became less of an issue. I stopped calling people a cuck in real life. I became much more mellow and easygoing. I lost the fedora.

My life has only improved since then.

Bookkino? What does it even mean? Your comment is so fucking bad but somehow still manages to bring more substance and excitement than one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

>an Harry Potter reader will know why people read and enjoy less accessible authors

Do they, though? Every Harry Potter reader who is vocal about it seems to reference it more than an evangelical Christian references the Bible. Most of them don't seem to have actually read any other books once they got to HP.
