Put it back in your pipe, Jodorowsky, so you can blow it out your ass.

Put it back in your pipe, Jodorowsky, so you can blow it out your ass.
Jodorowsky is an absolute hack, kek. It's baffling how con-artists and snake oil salesamen like him can easily fool the arthouse crowd.
He's a male Yoko Ono
It's fricking hilarious how Jodo filters midwits. His films literally SCREAM their meaning into your face, it's not even subtext it's literal actual events that happen on screen, and mentally impaired "people" STILL couldn't understand it.
I do get that it is all nonsense for you because you physically unable to comprehend film, it's beyond your inherent intellectual capabilities, but i still believe that some of you may still be functioning enough not to embarrass yourself in public.
You don't get Jodo, you don't get how magnets work, you can't use elevator - that's all ok, just don't brag about it, you're making a fool out of yourself
You actually made me laugh out loud.
The notion that his adoring fans hold that they're the only ones getting him is self-reinforcing that over time builds into delusion. This
is an example.
>EXPLICITLY state that every non moronic person i.e. the majority get him
>The notion that his adoring fans hold that they're the only ones getting him
Like i said before, you're embarrassing yourself. If you can't even read one post right maybe films as a medium just aren't for you
Anon, you're pissing yourself.
>the majority get him
The Majority thinks he's boring slop.
So did he fool the "arthouse crowd" or not, make up your mind
The arthouse crowd is not the majority dumbfrick.
>The art house community who's most likely to watch Jodo isn't the majority
>He has them all fooled btw
>Meaning most people who watched him liked him (i.e. the majority likes him)
>The majority as is just me thinks he's boring slop
Interesting. I feel truly enlightened rn
Meeting between Salvador Dali and Jodorowsky when Jodorowsky wanted Salavador Dali to be in his Dune.
>In Paris, on the Champs Elyses, there was a very fancy restaurant… and he was there with his court. He had 12… Twelve persons at the table and him.
>"Sit down. I want to ask something to you.”
>"What, Mr. Dali?”
>"When we was young, myself and
Picasso, we went to the beach.”
>And we open the door of the car…
“…always in the sand, we find a clock.” Clock, no? Dali asked, “Do you find, in your life, a clock in the sand?”
>And I say, “What I can answer?” It was very quick, like this, because… all the 12 person are awaiting my question. Because if I say I find, all the time, clocks… I will be a vanity person. Ridiculous. If I say I never find a clock, I will be a poor guy. And suddenly came to me, I say: “I never find a clock. But I lost a lot.”
>"Okay!” And then, "I wait you in Barcelona!”
No opinion on Jodorowsky, never seen his movies, only a surface-level knowledge of his career. Explain this interaction for a midwit?
He's got banter
So I get that the joke is the implication that these watches found by Dali were lost by Jodo. By vanity person, does he mean he didn't want to sound like a suck-up? And by poor guy, does he mean somebody who was not in on, or was not blessed by, this cosmic coincidence of Dali's?
They're referencing this painting, though I don't entirely get it either
>Are you lucky to find material possession out of thin sand (air) in this theorical scenario?
>Yeah i get material possessions all the time even though it's practically impossible
>No i find it hard to get material possessions 🙁
>Actually, i put the material possessions in the scenario
Anyways, Jodo is just bragging about being witty with Dali and it's not something to be analysed
Were they both esl? This is like watching poos shit talk each other in English. What the frick is this?
They are both Mexican, yes.
So the actual exchange happened in English? Did no one polity tell him that his story is moronic nonsense when he explains it in English and not an example of supreme wit like I assume it was in Spanish?
In Spanish*
I think he thinks talking in broken English like
is funny
El Topo is still a masterpiece and your short film didn't even get picked up. Seethe and cope.
this entire movie was a shitpost and he was making fun of the arthouse crowd. have a nice day
Ironic pretentious shit is still, you know, pretentious shit
>He fell for the ironic post
Jodo haters aren't the smartest bunch...
Dammit...I should've known the genius I was arguing with was operating on a higher level of meta-irony than I could ever begin to fathom...
and as always, the first post is the best post
As a Hispanic, Jodorowsky reveals an additional layer of insufferability that is lost outside the bubble: his adamant efforts to not learn proper english cloak just how cynical he really sounds while speaking his native tongue, and reveals his nutso-but-wise shtick as a mere mask.
>and I say to im, thi thi worrl is juan maind, juan espirit, an je go I'll do di muvi
Frick OFF
Another narcissistic hack popularised by druggies. Sad!
He also speaks french and some japanese. Maybe you learn to properly stfu. I'd argue you don't properly know any language since you have nothing to say to anyone.
If it's so easy to con the entire industry, then do it you silly goose. Always pointing never doing. Unwise.
Just because he knows more languages has more money and popularity doesn't mean he's smarter than me
actually anon,
You could be smarter than him but he legitimately wants and tries to help people. So he would praise you for your intelligence even if it surpassed his own.
whats the purpose of seething about 50 year old movies?
This was the first Jodorowsky movie I saw. I liked the abstractness of it and the deeper meaning was abstract as well, but somewhat distinguishable. I feel like it was more so a vehicle for his books because he better explains his motivations and things he went through. He is more so about healing people through his words and art in his older age. His movies The Dance of Reality and Endless Poetry are reflections of his own life and are based on his book The Dance of Reality.
The Holy Mountain is about the 10 Sefirot of Kabbalah, El Topo is about the 22 paths of Kabbalah.
t. conquered the mountain horizontally
part of this movie felt like the most midwit critique of religion and modern society "get it? they are commodifying jesus christ!!! industry BAD!", part of this movie felt like just a comfy, non-pretentious, funny, surreal film, like that scene with the guy moving through the mountain horizontally, and part of this movie felt like it had demonic presence and i was watching some sacrilegious ritual
i don't know what to think about it
Keep in mind it came out in the 70s where this kind of thing and subsequent dissection of it weren't as common as today. He also intended the final scene to be a woman really giving birth on camera but the lady opted out last minute so that's why we got the ending we got.
yeah, lot of symbolisms and shit. BUT, his movies scream trash. They're trash. I prefer his comics
Santa Sangre is his only truly good/great film. Holy Mountain and El Topo have cool visuals but they're obviously some shit a hippie thought was deep while being stoned out of his mind in the desert
>Santa Sangre is his only truly good/great film
You only say that because that's his most accessible one. It's still good though, just like El Topo and Holy Mountain
Jodorowsky's humour flew over your head.
Don't be embarrassed, you've plenty of friends here on Cinemaphile.
Honestly, his fans are even worse than Lynch pseuds. Quite the accomplishment.
L Y N C H E D A N D J O D O R O W S K I E D
Quite the accomplishment.
what everyone misses about jodorowsky is that he's an arthouse director who isn't a boring butthole. he makes films that are constantly entertaining and thought provoking without being purposefully dry and meandering. it's no coincidence that two of his best films are a western and a slasher, or that he has written a great deal of comic books.
that's what all you joyless homosexuals always miss. I don't watch him because
>oh my god it's so deep he changed my life
but because he mogs other directors when it comes to raw enterainment value and memorable imagery. el topo is a western first and foremost, and it delivers in spades. the holy mountain has some of the most batshit imagery ever put on film, and it's full of satire. if anything, it's a comedy since it spends most of its runtime being purposefully funny.
tarkovsky fans feel innately threatened by jodorowsky because they know watching someone stock their pantry and wipe their ass in real time is boring pretentious shit that nobody would want to watch, so it makes them feel like an intellectual for enduring it, and then along comes jodorowsky making kino that manages to hit all the same notes and still be entertaining by virtue of having things actually happen on screen. he threatens their hipster exclusive arthouse club and reveals them for what they are: fart-huffing homosexuals.
Post the little girl already uogh
Jodorowsky is just a gay israelite with a scat fetish.
To the point that he wanted to make a Dune movie where a hundred men poop on the ground.
Why hipsters like Jay Bauman and YMS worship a scar fetishist is beyond me.
Imagine watching Holy Mountain and that's all you get out of it. Jodorowsky is also not gay at all, he is on record for having raped at least one woman.
Yeah, but he later backpedaled, which is kind of sus. A truly hetero man would have stuck to his guns on that one.
Let us remember, he did raped Frank Herbert
I never watched a jodo movie (discounting dune) but his comics are FANTASTIC
He's underrated and highly praised in that regard, ...same as his movies and Psicomagia career.
how the frick can you achieve this perfect balance of mediocrity and perfection?
Jodorowsky is one of the greats, it'll be a sad day when he dies which can happen any day now. He's so fricking old
