You should check it out.

and it also, pretty esoteric,

im always reading

umm... it's basically about a kid growing up and having an older kid as his esoteric guide of some sorts

they begin their journey with the older kid revealing that the Kain and Abel story has actually been reversed by christians

interesting

If i ever sit downto write something again, I'll write about how much i hate cinema and film

why is that?

If i ever sit downto write something again, I'll write about how much i hate cinema and film

why, what is there to hate

Too long to fit chat

modern cinema or cinema in general?

why, what is there to hate

right on.

At first i thought it's modern cinema, but by now i think it pretty much applies to film as a whole

ok

I might guess as to why

well the thing about cinema is that it leaves no room for the imagination

at least modern cinema

Pretty much the only kind of films i can bother watching nowadays are either war films or so called "art films"

human brain has difficulty suspending belief, movies in a way supplant natural intake and assessment

"art films" only if they don't deal with social or sentimental themes

what you see, regardless if film, it becomes a reality in brain assessment of environment and higher thought

umm... art films is a pretty general term

could you elaborate

I have no problem enjoying the cinema

although I do filter my viewing a lot

just watched "The Descent"

hmmm tana bailed. sad.

Film's fatal flaw is it's reliance on conversations

so you enjoy the silent films of old, in a way?

more facial emotion as example

ok have you tried Michael Haneke?

Nope

71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance was impressive

I recently enjoyed a film by Tarkovsky, called Solaris

But I don't really consider it to be exceptional to my general sentiments about cinema

@Metalheim Have you seen a film called Dr. Caligari?

umm... no

I mean i enjoyed a drumb and bass and trance party i attended couple of weeks ago, which doesnt mean i dont hate trance and drum and bass
