I haven't set down and listened to a whole album, but a friend played me a couple of songs and I wasn't crazy about it. The beats were alright, but I found the vocals to be grating and the lyrics to be very discordant. I don't absolutely hate them, but I do think they are very over hyped in try hard circles. Maybe I haven't heard their best stuff or maybe its just 2#nxtlvl4me.

George Orwell seems to be pretty popular here. What do you like about his writing style /fa/? I thought the incorporation of "doublethink" like structure in 1984 was pretty clever.

>>6090967
Interesting can't say I've read much by him, care to elaborate?

>>6090959
He's popular because a lot of people are young here and he's very easy to read. Not that he's bad, but he's "my first favourite author"

>>6090980
basically he wrote essays critiquing writing, but at the same time uses a lot of the stuff he criticizes in his own work

Nineteen Eighty-Four is the reason behind the Orwell lust typically. Mostly because a lot of people turn to it as their first "I am going to rebel" books and thinks they are the only person to have ever read it. They then attach themselves to the counter government shit and follow up by reading about Che.

>>6090967
He wasn't a poor writer, one doesn't need 36$ sentences and 25$ words to be a good writer. His stories are very well thought out, and connect incredibly well with readers of all types.

>>6090985
I agree, but I do think its more to do with the "Babies first dystopia"

>>6090987
btw despite not liking his novels, that essay is a good read and i agree with most of his points

>>6091017
1984 is a poor mans Brave New World

>>6091037
Brave New World was my required reading for junior year of high school, 1984 was not.

i never said he did lol

>>6091060
actually i remember one dude having it as required nvm

>>6091037
Well
>>6091048
1984 is an out of school read, where as Brave New World is still taught in schools. Nothing wrong with that.

A little pet peeve of mine in these threads is seeing peoples fav books being essentially a list of highschool/elementary school required books, it makes me a little sad to see this.

had to read that in middleschool....

>>6091069

I also remember reading the giver in middle school which is actually a p sick book

>>6091023
>>6090987
Thanks for the link, I skimmed through it, I'll give it a proper read later. From what I read I can't help but wonder if his inclusion of those pitfalls in his writing was satirical or included with intention. For example he cites Marxist writing as a no-no and from what I remember there was much more of that in Animal Farm than in 1984. Was this intentional or am I reading to much into it?

>>6091069
i think he meant that he only read brave new world cause it was in highschool

or not I think iI read the post wrong

>>6091069
some shcools have 1984 too

>>6091079
>>6091069
Had to read 1984 and The Outsiders in middle school too...as well as Animal Farm.

>>6091048
Weird Brave New World was an out of school read for me and 1984 was taught in my junior English class.

>>6091063
The majority of the people I've heard make statements like that about him have disliked him for those reasons. As far as I know, his language is both one of his best attributes to his followers, and one of his worst to his detractors.

So why do you consider him a poor author?

basically what i said here >>6090987

I haven't read an orwell book in over 5 years so I'm not gonna go into specifics, but i remember reading animal famr and 1984 in middle school and I followed up later with that essay and remember thinking how hypocritical he was

basically 1984 is pretty bland, the characters don't really develop that much and the (little) emotion he attempted to convey fell short and didn't really come close to the human condition, there was that one kind of love affair , but it was sort of contrived and not particularly interesting

animal farm was just a complete miss, it basically took communism and stalin and was liek this stuff sucks and made a parody of it, not defending communism, because I hate it more than the next guy, but it just was a poor book and not really worth a read

Being a hypocrite in my mind doesn't make someone a bad writer, so I guess our difference in opinion is there.

Maybe you should re-read animal farm though, I understand and kinda agree with a few of your points on 1984, but I do feel a lot of the subtle things which go on in animal farm could be overlooked earlier in ones life. I see it happen a lot with younger people that take themselves a little too seriously, and once they see pigs talking start thinking its baby shit and stop reading into it.

Not saying you were one of those kids, but I sure as fuck know I was. I didn't gain a full appreciation for animal farm until I reread it about 9 years after reading it the first time.

>>6091177
I will however concede to this point. The book would be much better if it were more direct and more structured, but over all I read it as a bit of a play anyway, so it may not have worked well that way at all.

>>6091279
fight club isn't that special its just mad stylized

>>6091292
>Being a hypocrite in my mind doesn't make someone a bad writer
well yeah thats why i said he is a poor writer and a hypocrite

but my point was that he made criticism of writing techniques, but then turned around and used the same writing techniques in his own work

> they see pigs talking start thinking its baby shit and stop reading into it
not so much that it's a pig talking, it's more of the concept

like if you look at the essay i linked earlier he talks about dying metaphors, but then uses a pig as a symbol of greed, honestly

>>6091299
McQueen has a great eye, I thought the writing was the weakest part but even then it dealt with the subject matter very delicately.

Also why isn't art included here?

>>6091271
i find his writing beautiful of course, but so many plebs like him for the wrong reasons. plebs decry "purple prose," long for "simple and clear writing," without "needless description" but if this was really true they wouldn't read hemingway. his writing is ambiguous in meaning and 80% "needless description". they also have a personality cult that overtakes any real appreciation for his writing. it's a rookie "everybody sucks but me" signpost. only a couple people i know really read and appreciate his writing as such

its hard to recommend a director/movie without knowing your own preferences. there is stuff out there that i think is great (verhoeven) that others think is glossy, flashy trash, and other stuff i think is great (mohsen makhmalbaf) others would find boring.

you don't understand the meaning of "projecting." it means to take one's own insecurities and identify them on someone/some group outside of yourself. so for example if i was insecure about my masculinity, i would rip on bronies for not being "real men".

so which insecurity am i projecting, and onto who?

>>6091331
the insecurity that you have shit taste and so are telling other people they have shit taste

I was asking about how he was a poor writer in your mind though, and you just linked to a post where all you said was he was a poor writer and a hypocrite.

You did outline why you disliked a few of his books though, so I got a feel through that, but prior to that you had just said he was a poor writer without justification.

And here again you just talk about him being a hypocrite, rather than any real discourse about why he is a poor writer, or how him being a hypocrite makes him a poor writer.

I do understand your opinion though about how some of his work was unstructured and seemingly placed together haphazardly. I feel like your judgement of him is mostly based on him being a hypocrite rather than anything else though. I don't think that discredits your opinion however, and can understand why that would degrade his work for you.

that can't be right though, because i had to explain to you the meaning of projection before you even knew what you were trying to say.

telling people they shouldn't like something isn't projecting. if i tell people they shouldn't like twilight and the hunger games maybe that just means it's objectively mediocre shit. like fight club (book and movie--that reminds me, i forgot to put palahniuk on the list of a pleb's favorite things).

also, if you read my post carefully, you'd see i don't see all of those things as in and of themselves pleb/bad/mediocre/etc. you just saw your own taste there and got mad that your'e so predictable and common when you thought you were special for enjoying kubrik and existentialism (i'm laying it on thick here, m8. i don't actually believe these things, i'm just taking the piss out of you)

it's not *because* he is a hypocrite

he just made criticism, that i agree with, but apply to his own work

like i said in the earlier post, he's a porr writer *and* a hypocrite, not a poor writer *because* he's a hypocrite

i was conflicted about putting tarkovsky in. i put him in there because plebs latch onto stalker when they want to look cool (100% on rotten tomatoes--if i like this movie then that means i'm a connoisseur with refined taste right? so goes the logic)

basically i want to take people down a peg who think they are cool for reading a few books outside of their high school curriculum and watching a few old movies.

i don't carry this attitude with me in real life towards other people, it's something i can do over 4chan, because this is mostly where people who think they have great taste and want to be validated by strangers come to brag about not having watched a single wes anderson movie except bottle rocket

>>6091412
i think he is attacking the sincerity of the choice more so than the work itself

>>6091404

I was asking why he was a poor writer, and I am saying the only thing you've responded to that with(outside of you discussing why you dislike 1984 and animal farm) has basically been he is a hypocrite.

well you're hours and hours ahead of the average bro on lebbit/4chan/anyone among your friends probably. french new wave is most people's way "into" film. it was mine too, i don't think there's anything wrong with this, it's just one shouldn't get stuck there. there's a short list of directors from this time/place and once people have ticked those boxes they give up. there's so, SO much more out there!

as for anime, this is something i have been interested in "getting into" myself, and i don't know much about the genre aside from oft-heard names like flcl, end of evangelion, ghost in a shell, etc. i'm lurking /a/ more and more to get a better of idea of the "lay of the land"

if you liked the lo-key production and simmering style of touki bouki and jarmusch, try killer of sheep and early cassavetes (as director). if what you liked about french new wave was the mish-mash of cinematographic styles, try straub and huillet, or jump into iranian new wave via makhmalbaf or mehrjui.

my own taste seems to be split between absurd/ridiculous sci-fi and action movies (woo, verhoeven as said before, bring me the head of alfredo garcia, kung-fu, etc) and highly "boring," meditative, understated stuff (pedro costa, edward yang, yaaba, the fast runner)

there are lots of critical film websites and forums out there, some have essays on particular directors or "movements." i suggest giving some of that material a once-over, taking some notes on stuff that sounds interesting and then queueing it up on netflix or however you get your movies. this is how i've been clawing forward with my own backlog

I don't care what you think of his ideas, but if you think george orwell's writing is not great, you're an idiot, and you need to do the convincing, because you're against the consensus

>>6091623
ok thanks I'll check those out

I really enjoy sailor moon, the writing is terrific and I love the approach to humore, it's more spontaneous and effortless unlike a lot of humor in other cartoons which i find can tryhard and unfunny, overall it's pretty whimsical, but still manages to hit pretty close to the human condition, a lot closer than most anime and cartoons in my opinion

what film website and forums do you recommend? I don't really know any good ones aside from mubi

>>6091651
You're right, this orwell guy makes proust and joyce look like plebs in comparison, bought to go to barnes and noble and buy all of his work

>>6091562
im >>6091623

regarding orwell: try burmese days and his early short stories

so many times better than animal farm and 1984. it's not in high school curriculums because it's far more grounded in a particular colonial history, and the themes are more complex/difficult than those of the aformentioned two. "fascism is bad! power corrupts! freedom is good and romantic love is liberating. censorship bad." that stuff is facile in such fantastic scenarios as 1984 and animal farm; like i said in my OP, low hanging fruit.

>>6091689
forums, i dunno. i just know they are out there. i actually often lurk the film threads on sufu and sz; a cursory look at the "top 10" threads of the average film forum is filled with nolan, spielberg, kubrik, and other predictable names. i'm sure like every forum, there are often posters with highly developed taste that don't post very often (i found this to be the case on basenotes as well). it'll just take some lurking to filter it out.

as far as criticism/essays/reviews go, i read new yorker for more widely distributed stuff. if theres something relatively obscure (like iranian new wave), i just google whatever keyword and then filetype:pdf. i'm likely to find someone who's put something up through their university, sometimes blogs.
