The best part of the book is when all the European tribes like the Gauls and the belgines ally together with Caesar to kill the mongolturks being led by the mentally challenged Ariovistus
Gee, I wonder why no Roman ever wrote a book about the Germans absolutely buttblasting their asses at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest SO HARD they never bothered trying to conquer Germania again.
The Roman general was so humiliated by the German rape train he offed himself like a coward instead of going back to Rome.

Must be sad flaunting your only victory like that. And in the end the German tribes were the ones who begged to get Roman citizenship status.

I wanted to do that with every movie I watched, just keep a basic text file with "film title" a short summary of what I thought and a x/10 rating.
Never got around it and now it feels like I'm way behind to even bother.
I love when plebs start complaining about muh modern books/movies as if there aren't thousands of classic movies and books to occupy several lifetimes.

every bookstore looks like that nowadays, if you aren't already aware of good books' existence (to buy them online), you wont get to know them.
this has been extremely annoying. im getting back into reading after something like 10 years of not picking up a book. while im at work i like to listen to audiobooks and i cant for the life of me find one thats interesting and dont know where to look
If you're a homophobe, you can start by reading Frank Herbert's Dune saga, the books, not the movie. Since you're on the Cinemaphile just pick up books that have live action film adaptations: The Lord of the Rings, Gone Girl, Minority Report, the Shanara Chronicles, Blade Runner, Chronicles of Narnia, Starship Troopers, Ghost in the Shell(manga), Parasite Eve(Japanese, English is out of print, but there is a kindle version), Howl's Moving Castle, The Wizard of Earthsea, Black Hawk Down, The Witcher, Flowers in the Attic, etc.
>if you aren't already aware of good books' existence (to buy them online), you wont get to know them.

>Tender is the Flesh is a dystopian novel by Argentinean author Agustina Bazterrica. The novel was originally published in Spanish in 2017 and translated by Sarah Moses into English in 2020. Tender is the Flesh portrays a society in which a virus has contaminated all animal meat. Because of the lack of animal flesh, cannibalism becomes legal. Marcos, a human meat supplier, is conflicted by this new society, and tortured by his own personal losses
sounds like edgy slop like the purge movies. >broo what if cannibalism was legal I am very deep
Also probably a gay pro vegan metaphor. Pass.
this but also the sidewalks of ultra liberal suburbs as the old indoctrinated seniors put all their old good books on the sidewalk for free so they can make room for the newest copy of guide to amputee sex

Celebrities have multiple sources of income so that they stay rich and don't end up poor. Writing a book and getting it published so that people will buy the book is a way to make money when they aren't making music or acting in a movie. Even Selena Gomez has a clothing line and Avril Lavigne had a manga. Lana Del Ray has written a book of poetry and probably still sings. Arnold Schwarzenegger does promotions for mob8le games and vacation spots. Some other celebrities are in the agriculture business and have their own cattle ranches.
and it's all ghostwritten too. All their alcohol brands are made in the same distillery with their name slapped on it. All their clothing lines are made in chinese factories and designed by other people. Wealth is a snowball, becoming richer when you're rich is piss easy.
It’s money laundering and tax evasion
You can’t bribe a politician but you can offer them a contract for a book same for celebrities, they can write off the loss of sales from the book
21st century literature isn't worth anybody's time. And in my opinion, very few 20th century authors are as well. The early Americam period saw a hoat of incredible authors, who were actually entertaining, transported you to another world, and wrote to the common strain of humanity- Charles Brockden Brown, Washington Irving, Herman Melville, to name a few. I'm also partial to Dicken's for the most part. For 20th century I really only like Thomas Wolfe, and Steinbeck. Hemmingway destroyed generations of men, by encouraging them to feed their passions, addictions, amd vices.
Ive been waiting for the Rangers Apprentice movie/show for 20+ years now. Inefficient australian fricks will make sure my grandkids are the only ones to watch it
Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut is supposed to get a television adaptation by Dan Harmon but that was announced back in 2017 and there’s been no updates since
A lot of Indians are actually Lactose intolerant which is why they average 10 or more bowel movements a day.
its just how they evade taxes
They can also hire a lawyer to do their taxes and find all the loopholes.
and it's all ghostwritten too. All their alcohol brands are made in the same distillery with their name slapped on it. All their clothing lines are made in chinese factories and designed by other people. Wealth is a snowball, becoming richer when you're rich is piss easy.
Uhhh. Well, I'm pretty sure that Lana Del Ray's poetry book is legit, even has an Art degree in philosophy.

Why do you recommend Dune for homophobes?
Dune shits all over homosexuals. The main villain is a flaming queer pervert
Every Philip K Dick novel is better than it’s adaptation

Would love to see the Doug Selby Series by Erle Gardner were given a film series that is done faithfully. Genuinely great murder mystery books.
Imagine a display table at a bookstore coming up to your chest as a "grown man."
blood meridian for the kino, charismatic, psycho judge holden scenes. tender is the flesh for the shocking cannibalistic violence kino.

I'm pretty sure Indians are behind the contamination of the animal meat. Probably because they want to spread their Hindu-based meatless diets.
Why the hell would be people turn to cannibalism rather than just eat imitation meat, premise is too dumb for me to even bother reading any of it
Antique stores are where it's at Cinemaphile frens
this but also the sidewalks of ultra liberal suburbs as the old indoctrinated seniors put all their old good books on the sidewalk for free so they can make room for the newest copy of guide to amputee sex
Look what they did to literature.
Pop 1280 both Andrew Dominik and Lanthimos failed to get it past pre-production though.
I wanna see that Eileen movie, I read the book and though it was great
if you want to see some "femcel" mentality, it's perfect
