Giving you something to read on the toilet since 2009.

"The mistake lies in seeing debate and discussion as secondary to the recovery of meaning. Rather, we should see them as primary: art and literature do not exist to be understood or appreciated, but to be discussed and argued over, to function as a focus for social dialogue. The discourse of literary or art criticism is not to recover meaning, but to create and contest it. Our primal scene should not be the solitary figure in the dark of the cinema but the group of friends arguing afterwards in the pub."
-Don Fowler (1996) "Even Better Than The Real Thing"

Melancholia - Anonymous

"exhale. well, after the repeated recommendation of a particular friend of mine, I have finally watched melancholia. i'm actually at 1:22 right now. I fucking hate this moving so fucking much i want that fucking planet to fucking destroy this film bad right now. it is the only thing i want in this movie. humanity here is pointless and need of total deluge. it makes the flood story seem so fucking necessary. i don't see how noah was ever approved to float on that world of water. noah probably is just that part of us that we wish was worth something. this movie is a lie. it is only part of the whole, presenting itself as the whole itself. this film is a piece of shit movie and is as oppressive of one as any i've ever seen. 

i don't have any desire to have any of this published, mostly because i don't approve of all the expletives, but i hope this earth I'm now watching is destroyed. its beauty lacks love, whole human-ness --- i am not enough to fill these scenes with care or why they should exist in the first place --- the pictures and sounds, so beautiful, lack anything of real value -- love, caring, selflessness, true words, vulnerability, openness, friendship.

and 'your scientists'... please...

larz von trier really is a fascist or something, and it shows."
