Has any book touched very deeply inside your heart? And perhaps made you cry or think solemnly of your life?

I don't think any book has ever moved me as much as "lonely castle in the mirror". My whole life up to my young adulthood was just a traumatic event conga. I felt very understood when reading that book. Has anything made you feel kinda like that? Vid unrelated.

There is a part in Paradise Lost when Satan arrives on Earth, where he contemplates his fate, and concludes that there cant be no escape from hell because he fundamentaly cant change, redemption under dures of infernal suffering would not last the moment he is free of it, he would return to his old ways and earn himself hell once again.
I remember crying while reading it, recognising my own condition in it.

A farewell to arms made me cry. It was all for nothing.

I recently read Land of Men by St Exupery, I found it deeply poetic and beautiful and it did move things in me (wether when he free a slave, when some desert people see a waterfall for the first time and ask when its gonna stop, when he talk of the desert resistance fighters that get a purpose in life through their enemy, his pal that walked 5 days straight in the mountains to save himself after a crash and almost gave up but refused by thinking of his wife not getting insurance money if he disappeared). The early day of aviation were crazy. I really need to read the little prince now.
I also had a tear reading an assisted suicide scene in black man by richard morgan, but more because the personal stuff its associated with and the fact its obviously a strongly emotional scene.
I had a tear of awe and joy when reading children of time by tchaikovsky and the spider civilization entered in contact with its creator for the first time, reading its response.
if anyone is interested but dont care about spoil I can dig up some quotes

In a world that proclaims victory in the midst of defeat, how do we locate the gaps where new realities form?

HOUDINI Collective members, writer MMF (Marfa, TX) and situationist artist SHEM SHELLEY (London, UK) collaborate on a zine about the process, the movement, and the dream of it all.

Drawing from Derrida, Marx, and the classical political economists, this 8-page piece asks us to stop waiting for the messiah and start facing the specters that are already here. "How the Night Moves" is a meditation on the ghosts we exclude from our "end of history," and the socialist promise of returning the human essence to itself.

8 pages, PDF, with a web version releasing March 27th exclusive on HOUDINImagazine.com

Going off this >>4480 anon's point about post-apocalyptic films; how does such fiction reproduce capitalist ideology generally?

Just read through the Judge Dredd spinoff comic Fall of Deadworld, or at least what's available now. It's not a bad apocalypse adventure story, and the art is really good at being creepy and unsettling.

Here are some doodles I never bothered finishing

I like the doodles, anons.

Used to love to draw but my depression has sapped me of any enthusiasm for it. Maybe one day I'll get it back.

>>47334
As someone in a similar situation you're much better off just putting pen to paper than waiting for enthusiasm to somehow return.

Terrible film making fun of marxism, the initial concept was interesting, but they spent all of the film's time to revolve around 5-6 annoying main characters rather than environment. They had a "marxist world" eternity sold out (eternities are somehow scarce?) and all these other obnoxious ones that were being advertised, but it never really explained itself, instead it just focuses on one meaningless relationship to characters I could not care less about. The MC was asking the right questions in the beggining but then just gave up and made it all about his wife. WHY?
The ending was just a random "happily ever after" ending, I would've preferred if the wife got sent to the void for being so indecisive. The entire "afterlife" lobby or system is not very precise and appears to be operated entirely by people. They never bothered to explain how any of that works, just completely ignored this new concept the movie brought and revolves around.

In short what they presented was:
You die, you are in a giant waiting lobby, you get to choose your own eternity which is a world in which you spend eternal existence in but you only get to choose once, if you choose one and then try to get out or switch they will try to catch you and if they catch you they send you to an eternal void, eternities are scarce and some eternities are "sold out" or "defunct" because they became full or are "outdated" (i.e. they mentioned racist eternities and a "marxist world eternity" was also shown to be "sold out"), the MC's wife somehow manages to switch eternities without being caught and we're left to assume she lives forever in the new eternity, some people don't choose so they have to stay in the lobby and do jobs. NOTHING ELSE IS ELABORATED. They didn't give a fuck to even play with this concept a bit, they made it all about a cuckhold husband, a wife and her former husband. They had this insane concept and turned it into the cheesiest lamest romance story.

if you have an afterlife with all this potential why would anyone choose to limit themselves to just one shallow theme park style world? Literally what is the point of that, and who would ever design it that way?

This whole genre of modern magical realism annoys me because it treats all these foibles of 20th century capitalism like they are natural laws of the universe and not something made up by a specific human society. The Backrooms is probably the most distilled version of that: you find a space between spaces, somewhere outside of normal reality, but it just looks like bland hallways. Not because of some weird eldritch entity has warped human-made architecture, but because architecture is treated as natural. Eternity apparently does this too, treating advertising and the tourism industry as something apart from society, more real and essential than gravity.

>Severance seems highly derivative of Squid Game
I don't think that at all. I don't know which parts you think are the same even.

Yeah the film kinda sucked, I thought it was going in the direction of all three of them sharing an entirety as a polycule together as all 3 and was disappointed when it cucked out and gave us the boring predictable ending

Unrelated but the first half of Paint Your Wagon is pretty based

What the fuck was this image, I can't remember.

Because fascists are notorious for employing chameleon tactics and appropriating the trendy ideological buzzwords of the era to make their nonsense seem valid and like a genuine ethos, e.g. "libertarianism" in the US, "national socialism" in Germany, "communism" in China, etc. But really it's all just smoke and mirrors, what these people truly are are just nihilists who don't believe in anything at all.

If WB is going to be sold to some megacorporation, I would have preferred Netflix. Lesser of two evils.

Would theaters have died off because of the Netflix/WB deal? I don't know and I don't care.

WB has been acting retarded for years, like they had some insider intentionally ruining things to lower the price to buy them. Consolidation is inevitable under capitalism though.

probably bad but everything sucks and we're all gonna die so really it's fine

from a communist pov its obviously irrelevant. from a personal pov it fucking sucks especially when this is happening right as paramount is starting to produce "anti-woke" films lol

Eventually it will all be merged into one unified megacorporation that spoonfeeds you all the watered down corporate slop you can gobble up like the mindless fucking pigs that you are.



 

Since nobody has made a new one and people keep asking for it I made the next one.

Be me try
>Try to build upper body for years
>Do push ups and bench and light cardio and have no results
>Do start lifting and focusing on pull muscle groups more
>Noticeable result in days
>Leaner tighter chest and slowly shrinking gut too
What gives? Are pull exercises and lifting just superior? Is something wrong with me or are push ups/benching a meme?

>>46999
Lifting is superior to calisthenics and cardio yes, there's a reason people lift.

How do I go from skinny-fat to fit-but-thin? I don't wanna get swole

>>46852
>you should spread put your meals over the course of day to maximalise musle growth?
That's a thing for pro body builders. Past a certain point of swoleness your muscles will start to break down if you go for a few hours without food. This isn't even really an issue if you are still mega swole but not extremely low body fat. For anybody but pro BB this isn't really that useful for retaining/building mass though *technically* I think spreading meals out more is generally good for you (but so is intermittent fasting). For the average person trying to maximize gains you probably get better results by eating (more) around the time you train.

>>46999
Lifting is better for muscle growth than calisthenics because you can train with higher weight, but calisthenics are fine if your goal is to do cardio/endurance strength. As for pulling vs pushing and losing weight you probably notice a tighter chest because of less body fat. Pulling won't make your pecs bigger, but you will have more of your chest shaped by pecs if you lose body fat there.

>>47000
>Lifting is superior to calisthenics and cardio yes
None is superior to the others in general, they all do different things and ideally people would combine them all. Lifting weight maximizes your ability to gain muscle and raw strength. Calisthenics is good for mobility, stability, and some light cardio and supporting strength. Cardio is cardio - it's good for your cardiovascular system and is often neglected because the results aren't visible.

>>47302
Nobody ever accidentally put on "too much" muscle mass. Just do some kind of training regularly, whatever you find appealing enough to do consistently. The only things you need to avoid are caloric surplus and progressive overload. Weight loss is more a diet thing than a training one.

i am not watching that new sappy chloe zhao or the new mental health pixar slop. let alone all the glorified student films in the live action short film category. i don't understand why dedicated cinephiles feel compelled to do a more thorough investigation of the nominees than the actual members of the academy

The new 28 Years Later rocks, it improves the first movie

what did y'all think of Eddington?

>>47213
It was too long but alright.

Speaking of which I just watched 'Bugonia', it was mid and the ending 'twist' is bad

>Gezhi Town
poor acting and weird chinese humor but some destruction scenes were good
I liked the ending scene where a chinese rambo was firing a machine gun with huge recoil and spitting blood
