faulkner is the greatest american author and the only problem with his nobel prize for literature was that it took so drat long. Sound And The Fury is my favourite book. though i havent read it in a decade. i agree it can be hard to get into. i like puzzles and interpreting things so i liked benji's section a lot even on first read. quentin is what blew me away though. but i identified a lot with him and still sort of do. so that could be part of it. the road sucks. book and movie. bland, boring prose. i hate the lovely "whiskey drinkin stoic masculinity" cormac tries so hard to trade in. you say hes tryinig to be faulkner but hes much more hemmingway in that regard. and hemmingway can eat my entire rear end.

Faulkner owns, absolutely wouldn't argue with anyone who says he's the great American novelist. I vacillate between him, Vonnegut, and Melville. Cormac sucks. I like Hemingway but I can't defend him. I like his 20's Parisian memoir where Fitzgerald asks him to judge his cock size.

I just got an email to confirm my email for an account on a legitimate website I did not sign up for. Not only did I not sign up for it, the email wasn't in my name either. I already emailed their support to be like yo this wasn't me please delete the account but it's still super creepy.

I mean I've been changing my password like crazy over the last few weeks. One thing that has changed recently is the email is a little more visible (I think) because the email is associated with an account that helps to run something. I can't just ditch the email completely though because so much of my stuff is connected to it and whatnot. Guess I can just hope the site will delete the account and whatever attempted monkey business never goes on, since I obviously didn't confirm the email with the account.

AFAIK McCarthy never talks about whiskey drinking with any affection and the only real heavy drinking I can think of is Suttree, whose alcoholism is a heavy part of his characterization because the whole thing is him trying to chase off his own death, and the band of rangers in Blood Meridian. I would argue most of his characters are hardly ever stoic; most of them seem very confused by what their American masculinity demands of them and what their own rationality tells them and typically make bad decisions because of that. John Grady is a brutally hopeless romantic, Llewelyn Moss’s belief in his American invincibility is fatally flawed, the Counselor believes loving a woman and being smart and savvy will save him from drug lords, etc. I don’t think there’s much to the idea that McCarthy/Hemingway line up other than both being American authors. McCarthy is extremely fatalistic and holds a lot of Hemingway-type characters in complete contempt. Hemingway’s writing is very concerned with ideals and basically every ideal is talked about in McCarthy as futile unless you’re in control of vast swaths of money. Faulkner is part of a whole line of fiction where nothing loving happens but it’s written well, and I can’t stand that kind of fiction. See also: Suttree, The Orchard Keeper, Inner Dark. I don’t think it’s a puzzle or hard to get into, it is just devoid of actionable interesting things.

I really like Philip K Dick, how about him? Here’s one of my most favorite opening lines, from The Divine Invasion: It came time to put Manny in a school. Look at that; it’s lovely.

A few times I've had random "click to verify your account" emails and it turns out the person had a typo and it got sent to a username that was like one character off from mine - so it could have been something like that and not a data breach, hopefully. Unfortunately those breaches are happening near daily nowadays as IT security is still awful among most big companies. Some of the poo poo I've seen working in the industry I do would cause most people to freak out and go off grid forever.

Yeah anytime I get one of those emails I instantly get really paranoid thoughts like "Oh great, what got hacked today and which account will I have to spend the next month on proving identity theft so all of my money isn't gone" due to things that have happened to people close to me so I feel you.

It was from OfferUp which seems to be some kinda e-commerce deal where people can transactionally trade poo poo like eBay or CraigsList? Whatever the case I didn't sign up for it and the name attached to the welcome email was not mine.

Seth Rollins posted:Monster A-Go-Go is the worst movie ever made The email in question I use is also a gmail with a fairly boilerplate format of letters and numbers so I could see that being the case here too, the only disconcerting part was the inaccurate name is nowhere near my own (it doesn't even contain a single common letter that's anywhere in the email) and there was another thing that was oddly on the nose about the name that's not mine that was used. Just very weird and I've been having a disproportionate amount of wonky security stuff happen lately so it's just strange all put together.

Mr. Carlisle posted:What's the worst movie you've all seen? Verotika can best be described as "Danzig directed a horror film and it's exactly the amount of quality you'd expect" A Serbian Film, the Human Centipede films, and Salo were all various levels of unpleasant disgusting that I never want to sit through again Daniel Ferrands made two bad exploitative films back-to-back (Haunting of Sharon Tate, and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson) The Snowman is, on top of everything else, just straight-up unfinished and a significant amount of the IMDB film trivia acknowledges that fact Of the MST3K type stuff, Manos is the only one I actually had trouble sitting through even with people making fun of it audibly The Village and Curse of La Llorona were the only films I fell asleep during in theaters

Captain Magic posted:The Coens are phenomenal except for the Hudsucker Proxy and Intolerable Cruelty. Hudsucker Proxy rules actually and is just more proof that Tim Robbins is the actually good version of Warren Beatty Mr. Carlisle posted:What's the worst movie you've all seen? In theaters: An American Carol On video: Immortal Ad Vitam, which is in that post-AOTC wave of digital backlot movies but unlike something like Sky Captain which is just fun about it, is an impenetrable story about an Egyptian God doing date rape.

I’m not going to argue anyone’s qualities over Beatty or Robbins but man the central love tension is just not there at all for me, and Intolerable Cruelty has the same exact issue. Hudsucker Proxy has a lot of good gags; it’s not without many good parts

I fell asleep during the 300 sequel, the caveman soccer movie from Aardman, and the latest Laika movie. The only movies I ever walked out of were both when I was a kid, FairyTale because it was boring and Mission to Mars because a man exploded and I couldn’t handle that at 10.

Raising the titanic Foodfight Hands down worst things I’ve ever seen. I’m convinced raising was done as a cruel joke on the cast. Foodfight inflicted significant damage upon my self. If I ever meet the creatives behind that there will be violence.
