I actually read books. I know that's hard for most of you guys to believe but it's true. I get better lit discussions on tv, of all the godforsaken places

/tv's taste in cinema is embarrassingly provincial, so I am skeptical of their taste in books. I think they rated the Dark Knight in their top ten greatest films of all time and Kurosawa didn't even get an entry in the top fifty

arguing on tv has its drawbacks like engaging with the actress obsessed incels while trying to pop their bubble that films involving attractive actresses are not necessarily good, but it's definitely better than this place which always comes off as pretentious and elitist, on tv, you don't have to pretend you are some wannabe scholar

you turned down the difficulty of the game and think that's worth bragging about JEJ

it doesn't seem like so if the highlight of your day is wasting your time arguing with a dullard
>>25116774
what difficulty, most of you retards spend time regurgitating the same talking points and never getting anywhere

Answer the question anon, I won’t go to that sty unless I have good reason to >>25116751

Leave then, go back to /tv/ and discuss fucking dawsons creek or whatever you do there. Clearly you’re upset about the way you’re treated in /lit/. Only a doormat masochist or a retard would stick around if he hated it here so much.

>>25116787
they discuss narrative not books, literature is not about books alone
>>25116790
i can do both anon, i can discuss with tv while admonishing lit, you seem like the angry one, pretending that /lit/ is in the best form it has ever been and can do no wrong

>/lit/, you don't deserve me! I will continue to post here incessantly for the next 10 years nonetheless
Can we just sticky one of these threads and leave it up on the board for all these guys so they don't make this exact post 20 times per day?

>>25116754
And yet you wouldn't discuss the early Buddhist literature I've long been inviting you and /lit/ to read. You know why? I know why. Because you didn't read. You know why you didn't read? Because you were busy feigning intellectual character.

Are you really acting this conceited over the fact that you sit in front of a tv and do nothing for 2 hours? Yeah, we’ve all watched a movie before retard, it’s not fucking hard, you’ve got nothing to act superior over.

>get better lit discussions on tv,
This is true for all subjects across all boards. Try discussing sword and sorcery or Robert E. Howard on /v/ sometimes. You'll get a great 300 post thread where everybody is sincerely analyzing the genre in-depth.
Conversely, I've had some discussion about video games right here on /lit/ I could not have had in a million years on /v/.

Yeah, I'm just sorry it took me so long to realize it. I wasted a lot of years on tg
You guys may be elitist af but tg is elitist AND insufferable. I can at least have a discussion here about whatever I have been reading

Before the Internet and video games, TV was the brain decaying pastime, and with many people it still is, even their arthouse slop like Dekalog and Bergman are as you say, midwit failed writer tier at best.

I'm of the opinion that people were much more generally intelligent in the past. I do in large part blame the television. Our modern, multi-ethnic society is comprised of a bunch of detached, lazy hedonists who think nothing further than their next dopamine session. Look no further than our current elderly population, arguably the biggest TV lovers of them all. They act much different than elderly people did of the past. The elderly often actually were wiser and more learned than their children & grandchildren (for obvious reasons) & placed greater emphasis on religious piety & communal well-being. They also acted as a bulwark against progressive politics. The same cannot be said today as most young people pity and condescend their ill-informed, TV obsessed grandparents

This board has basically become just leftist faggots, refugees from Reddit and 8ch, and brown and gay groypers/zoomers pretending to read.
Unfortunately, tvchmoe /lit/ is slow as fuck. And other places are full of women and Gen X/Boomers with terrible taste.

I really like trashy creature horror. Especially if there's a spec-ops team that has to fight them. Especially, especially if the creature was uncovered through human folly. I can chew through them in 1-2 days. Also enjoy bizarro horror from time to time. I also really enjoy transgressive lit, though I haven't read one in a while.

Based, sounds like a blast actually, not my thing though personally since I actually am a pretentious il/lit/erate (sorry for lying) but I should probably stop being so insular and expand, any authors of note?

>>25116711
I wish capeshitters in /tv/ actually read comic books and not demonstrate exactly what >>25117033 says

>>25117993
William Burke and Grieg Beck are my favorite authors in the genre, my favorite books from them being Scorpius Rex and Beneath the Dark Ice, respectively. Michael Cole is a big one, but I find him kinda mid. Micheal Meikle has a whole series about a spec-ops team fighting different monsters. There's Matthew Reilly- his books are like really trashy sci-fi movies. Tim Curran is a huge name and his works are great except that he really drags them out too long. Then there's Hunter Shea, his books are like trashy sci-fi movies that would be actually pretty great if the budget had been higher.
>>
>>25117993
They're all kinds of fun. Matthew Reilly's Great China Zoo is like a Jurassic Park rip off except with dragons. I could see the movie in my head, including all the shitty CGI and terrible shaky-cam. It was amazing.

See, I used to love movies that you’re basically describing in book format. I’ll take a look into them, thanks for it man!

Stephen King is basically, like, one of the best writers of all time, and all the adaptations of his books are better than the books themselves, so, like, I'd say /tv/ proves to be superior.
