Sometimes I watch fun movies. Then I never think about them again.
Movies are not that important. Relationships, self-growth and contributing to society are important.
The older I get the more I agree with Ted K's philosophies. Directing, watching and discussing movies is simply a meaningless surrogate activity to fill the emptiness in our lives.
It's even worse when you realize every comment on here or other social media isn't an authentic opinion but 99% of the time it's an npc opinion regurgitated for the 100th time.
Nowadays not only the movies get remade multiple times and the same story recycled again and again the same is true for online 'commentary'.
Endless complaining with the same phrasing copy pasted about the same topics with no end in sight. No one willing to change or do anything to improve the situation.
Go ahead and write your 'funny' one liner, write the slur or the shallow defense of your thoughtless consumption. You've posted the before. Everybody knows their lines. Put the greasy thumb on the phone screen in the hope another minute passes in which you don't have to confront yourself.
> in the hope another minute passes in which you don't have to confront yourself.
Have you ever stopped to consider that the rest of us are aware that it's meaningless entertainment, that we don't fricking care that our lives are meaningless, and we've accepted entertaining ourselves as our highest aspiration? No, you didn't. Because you're a Zoomer. You haven't stumbled across something profound or new. You aren't seeing something others don't see. The irony of your post is how meaningless and banal your own observation is. You aren't special.
frickin' A.
>Because you're a Zoomer
bot post
nice try coombrain
Nope. Decidedly not a bot. I was merely noticing a pattern. The mere fact the OP presented this as some profound truth with allusions to others being sheep is a strong signal they are a young person. Young people are particularly dumb right now. No awareness whatsoever, no ability to conceptualize anything outside of themselves. Zoomer is a good shorthand for this type of person.
I don't think it was meant as a profound truth, but a rather accurate observation about movies and their online discussion culture.
There is no such thing as Zoomer. You are a bot.
>Relationships, self-growth and contributing to society are important.
These things are important to society, they are not even vaguely important to an individual. Go out and become a wagie, find a used up hag willing to marry you, spend your free time learning dumb "skills" to improve your pay grade.
You won't be happy about any of it at the end of the day. The grass is always greener on the other side for rats like you, I've watched plenty of fun movies I think about from time to time. Entertainment is the one saving grace of this hellish rock and pitifully short existence.
If I didn't have art in my life, I'd have nothing. It helps me learn about about the world and learn about myself. It doesn't stop me from confronting myself, it helps me to do so.
They are watched by millions and influence those people, sometimes in profound ways. They are important even if they are not important to you specifically, you are kind of being a self-centered narcissist.
Truth is, I thought it mattered. I thought that movies mattered. But does it bollocks? Not compared to how people matter.
>contributing to society
you need to get a little more "older"

Movies are an american phenomenon. American people are so devoid of genuine human feeling and experiences they have to watch movies to get it lol.
The media is just a sideshow the elites use to give you catharsis and false dopamine. Make you believe you might be some movie character when you're just some dumb wage goycattle giving taxes to israelites
Art helps us explore our own humanity, not that I expect racist trash like you to have any in the first place.
>goy cattle so used to the slop he defends
These things are a COUNTERFEIT to real life experiences. Movies, porn, music, etc. just serves to puff you up with fairytales so that you get disconnected from reality. It is distinctly inhuman. At least the american productions.
>let's discuss darth doodoo from the star wars prequels
grown adults actually do this
Kind based but completely wrong. Only a few people know or care about your intimitate relationships and it will all be forgotten. But I can always talk about good movies with people around the world. I can also tell something about them by the movies they prefer. And these discussions can span over decades unlike personal relationship topics which are the same repeating material (just like movies) but with a smaller audience
People who talk about movies are NPCs. You might as well be discussing funkopops.
I don't care if Thanos killed Iron man or whatever
Very idealistic world view. In reality such light heart topics like movies are a very useful social lubricant. Sure other topics deserve more time than they currently get. Sure, it would be better if people read more books. But my point stands. Culture outlasts people and their personal relationships.
p.s. I saw Iron Man once and don't even know who Thanos is.
I will be dodging the draft.
The vast majority of people throughout history were penniless dirt farmers who died of disease never having gone 10 miles from the village they lived for their entire lives. Ted had the liberty to LARP a rustic life he never actually lived, being reliant on preserved goods and pressurized gas from a nearby town, thanks to the progress, technology, and globalism he so despised and blamed for the decay of society (and in reality a deflection for his own personal failings of squandering a promising career at harvard.) Moving on from his LARP of a traditional life, he proceeded to LARP as a revolutionary by bombing people who had actually made something of their lives. That soulless freak never made a human connection in his life and spent his cabin days fulfilling himself with the surrogate activity of knowledge he would never use in any constructive way while somehow believing himself above it all, so it's ironic you'd invoke him in this big rant about human connections and the worthlesness of hobby and recreation
I don't think Ted's fatalistic view and actions were correct, but his philosophic view of the world and the root of modern societies problems were.
It's less about the person he was but his ideas.
Just read through the catalog and see how many people share genuine opinions instead of witty one liners
Vast majority of people in the past. Had their own plots, had a virgin wife, had legacy, had family, had tight knit communities, had God and Christ, had genuine work
You think giving you mcdonalds and coke replaces all that lmao. Dumb american.
>it's wrong to kill people because they have regular jobs to get revenge on society
>DURRR YOU ARE AMERIMUTT AND COCA COLA HAS REPLACED GOD AND TRAD WHEAT FARMS
You preach that truth from 15 different smartphones set out on a folding table bud
that guy was a troony though
Movies are important, but birds? Not important at all.
You're not as enligthened or as smart as you think you are. What is even more embarassing is pretending to be above the rest of the cattle you're a part of.
>contributing to society are important.
contributing death to society is important, yes
>self growth
>relationships
>contributing to society
these things aren't related at all
you dumb npc Black person
>Movies are not that important
They are very important, because of how much they shape the thinking and language of the public. Consider Aldous Huxley:
>A great deal of attention has been paid...to the technical languages in which men of science do their specialized thinking...But the colloquial usages of everyday speech, the literary and philosophical dialects in which men do their thinking about the problems of morals, politics, religion and psychology—these have been strangely neglected. We talk about "mere matters of words" in a tone which implies that we regard words as things beneath the notice of a serious-minded person.
>This is a most unfortunate attitude. For the fact is that words play an enormous part in our lives and are therefore deserving of the closest study. The old idea that words possess magical powers is false; but its falsity is the distortion of a very important truth. Words do have a magical effect—but not in the way that magicians supposed, and not on the objects they were trying to influence. Words are magical in the way they affect the minds of those who use them. "A mere matter of words," we say contemptuously, forgetting that words have power to mould men's thinking, to canalize their feeling, to direct their willing and acting. Conduct and character are largely determined by the nature of the words we currently use to discuss ourselves and the world around us.
Of course a writer would say that. Punch him in the face and see what he says.
It's all they have. Words are important but especially movies have a negligible influence. More people play games than watch movies or TV nowadays.
Delete every movie in existence and our world barely change.
