looks promising

I know nothing about this

It's a book, right?

yeah

What is it about?

about people burning books

Yeah, seems interesting

they've made the movie before if you want to watch it. It's from the 60's and shouldn't be hard to find if you're interested. But it's not very action packed

It's ok
I will see if I can get both

If I remember to search for it

@Fulcrum010 It's a different take on "Society that spurns harmful knowledge" than from something like....1984

It's also much lighter, textwise

@Legiondude
Yeah, seems really interesting

Yeah, in the future, firemen are now known for burning forbidden books, instead of for fighting house fires.

forbidden books or all books?

I dont remember

all books iirc

people just watch tv instead

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451#Plot_summary

Yeah, i read it when I was much younger. Don't remember it being so graphic though

There is a scene in the book where one woman refuses to abandon her house full of books so the Firemen just immolate her in the doorframe with the rest of it

Oh god, 'Superwoman' is in the film

I know that black guy is good in the Canadian SciFi circles

I just hope they don't sjw the shit out of it

it looks promising though

Jurry is out. Doesn't seem to be from Hollywood

Well I have more faith in MBJ doing it justice than I do it being sunk

And here I thought I had no more films to look forward to this year

oh wow. I have good faith they will ruin this 451 movie

Has anyone seen any of the screenwriter's movies?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramin_Bahrani#Filmography

lol I'm literally looking at that same page

Kinda exciting. Even if it sucks I can't wait to see youtube critics roast it 😃

I dont really watch movies

This guy, I don't think he has the credentials to handle Bradbury's work.

Yeah, I just looked them all over

All activist work

Hmmm, guess that's why they slipped Lilly Singh into a role

Ran out of negotiating money

I hope it's good, what an amazing book

could really wake some of these free speech haters up, although whytf have they not studied their history in the first place?

Because public education is shit

they are dooming more reasonable people to repeat it with them. 😡 🔫

Speaking of which, I started college today (GI bill)

What arguments should I write my English papers on?

what are your most passionate arguments

write from the heart, and do kickass research

Toxic masculinity, and access to firearms as a human right (lol)

I did get to cover Fahrenheit 451 in AP English IV for HS. But the specific book wasn't mandated

find another name for "toxic masculinity"

of course.

if you want to argue that it effects society negatively

The crisis of our young men

find a way to discuss it that doesnt blanket-generalize just normal dudes that work out and value competition

The AP courses I took in high school focused on a pragmatic approach to essay writing, since there's the time constraint on the tests. When I got around to taking ENG102 in community college, I just wrote what I knew about the best, which was WWII tanks

if you go hard-opposite to the healthy version of masculinity, you get what you guys are calling soyboys

@Legiondude Our class is focusing on arguing current events

its once again, lack of middle ground

if its the argument you care most about and it can be relevant to your curiculum i would say go for it

@M4Gunner I might bring up the point of a lack of purpose for the male mind

in the 21st century

you could always pick something more closely tailored to the course material

Do you have any counterarguments that you can encapsulate and rebut thoroughly?

oh. that makes me sick to hear. please do.

Per subject?

i cant think of a more depressing predicament

hm?

``lack of purpose for the male mind``

Oh, yeah.

that is a horrifying statement, and ive seen a lot of different kinds of depression

i would never take this over any of them

HMU if you need an edit, I'm much better than i type on boards 😃

<--formerly paid parttime marketing blogger 🤢

lol ewww

do anything for money

😉

ill do this one pro-bono though

Thanks, I think I'm good though

Okay but if you share it with the board later ill be interested to read it

are you going to a military-centered school or is it like a scholarship at a regular uni

It's a community college, but it's paid for from my military service

Okay. your english/writing classes will probly have the worst peers as classmates, but you could probly guess that

find out if your teacher is radicalized and keep it in mind

Yeah, but they're a bunch of Bros, buttholes, and smart asses

fun group

ive taken writing classes with a full class of mary sues

every single one of them write their creative nonfic about some bulls††† that only concerns them

@Fitzydog cite the shit out of JBP

yeah he has credentials

<:cleanyourroom:429612328192049152>

🦀 master race

its a good point, psych studies is just as valuable to your writing as English

knowing the human mind you know both your friends and enemies

Mmmm <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

study effective proaganda, even if youre in marketing courses

Shitposting is a hobby of mine, yes

lol

shitposting yes

theres nowhere good to shitpost these days, twitter is basically pointless

Redpill these children my dude

nobody will see it
