I'm pretty astute when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Finished it now. Well made, strange casting. Worth seeing. Overall pretty good.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Give Only Lovers another chance, I think it's one of the best movies of the 2000s. The Dead Don't Die is lighter fare to a certain extent but it is also in a way Jarmusch saying "fuck you!" to anyone attempting to use genre tropes to understand climate change (as he sort of did in Only Lovers!). So I think those two movies together are really interesting. I'm in the minority of people who didn't love Paterson.Malloy wrote:ive seen all of his movies. i think Limits of Control the best. maybe Paterson. love pretty much everything but Only Lovers and The Dead.Mickey wrote:It's a puzzling little film, in some ways it felt underwhelming and in others it was perfect--I found myself really charmed by the slow, almost wistful boredom that stalks many of the scenes.

how fucking relieved are you that the terminus of your training wasn’t poetry mfa? theory/criticism saves lives (our, at a minimum prevents one from becoming yet another bloodless, bourgeois writer)Mickey wrote:Probably because I fucking hate poets and poetry.

i’m a partisan of the michaels/brown/nonsite argument about the limits of political “art” because of its subsumption by the market, in which political entertainments are reduced to part of an array of commodities that satisfy a boundless & interminable process of market segmentationMickey wrote:Go on...

this doesn’t invalidate a need for propaganda or political culture. it simply says these things don’t in themselves satisfy the criteria of an artwork.

I'm sure you're right about whatever you're saying, I just don't have the will to read it slowly three times and figure out if that's the case
