I want to start a thread that would anger a lot of GAF people but don't have the eloquence to pull it off

oh I didn't realize it was about some singer. I just thought it was about a Lars von Trier movie that definitely IS a thing of beauty.
She's super talented and very lovely.
How can anyone be perpetually angry when they've been playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions?

he's my fav. so yeah.
Dogville is his best. I'd skip Melancholia and Nymphomaniac.

Melancholia is my favourite by far, and one of my favourite films straight up. Dogville is pretty amazing too. Antichrist is if anything visually astounding.

What game is that?
Maybe Ceallach should buy a large notebook and create a journal?
idk, I would platonically hug Ceallach and listen to her.
Antichrist is really really good. Melancholia is alright but felt mediocre compared to the rest of his films, and Nymphomaniac is just boring.

HOW IS NYMPHOMANIAC BORING! IT HAS EVERY EMOTION
okay I'm out. I can't do movie discussions anymore because I'm always right and everyone else is wrong and it damages my glass spirit
who do you trust more? who has he better taste in music? think hard.
Dude makes a lot of visually and tonally different movies. If you just watched Antichrist and thought all his films were like that you'd be very wrong. So a lot of people feel a lot of different things about his work.
oh yeah, I've only seen antichrist, melancholia and the first part of nymphomaniac.
melancholia was amazing!

...yes good point
It's overrated imo
I knew going in that it probably wasn't a movie I'd enjoy, probably because I'm dead inside, but it was very well filmed I guess.

His films are visually unique and stimulation, and almost always thematically confronting and personal. They're very committed to an often uncomfortable or unusual direction, pacing, and storytelling that combine both traditional linearity with symbolism, sometimes aiming to emotionally resonate simply via sequences of visual and audio stimuli. Tonally his work covers a broad range of topics and styles, so it's very easy to love one movie and hate another. Lars succeeds, if anywhere, in at least making original, emotionally provoking films that'll stay with you one way or another.
Melancholia resonated with me in very specific and personal ways, whereas Dogville I loved more for its originality. Antichrist leans more towards Melancholia, but is bleak in its own peculiar way. Nymophmaniac is a hell of a slog but a pretty on point emotional rollercoaster with a fucking awesome ending and I appreciate it for that.

it's not a slog X( I've heard people say that about Melancholia..which I can understand since it's a very slow movie...but Nympho? it's funny, it's exciting, it's dramatic, it has great music, great visuals and a very human story. if anything I think it's the least slog-y film of his.
My taste is trash

I didn't mean slog in a negative way. More that it's a 4+ (nearly 6 if you watch uncut) hour emotional rollercaoster that requires a significant time investment from the viewer to see the narrative arc go through its many beats and come to its conclusion. I agree with everything else.
I couldn't keep my attention invested enough over the entire movie, which I realize is a failing of my own viewing rather than the movie itself, but others have said much the same of it.
I need to rewatch Dogville and Antichrist now though.

Sounds good. Sold
Ctrl+Alt+Del then F8 on startup and select "SAFE MODE"
Remember, self care isn't selfish.
Do I run safe mode forever?
That's what I'm doing. Shuts down all input ports and ethernet communications so that there is no way that any outside agent can gain access.
It's the only way to be sure.

I haven't had a blue screen in like half a decade.
Mostly driver related.

It's looking like my hardware is faulty. Too late for the warranty probably
Oh wait. Were you not continuing the metaphor? My last blue screen was just from overheating

Huh. Lot'sof girl's pretend to be taken even if they're interested. It's all a game.
Several women have told me that.

Eh, some girls'll do that. Ain't like boys aren't constantly playing games too.
At a certain age men and women stop playing games tho.

I don't think so. So many divorces are pretty late age.
People just pretend they're mature.
People just follow trying to be happy.
No one is really happy. There are people who are content. Nothing else
I mean, they get tired of games as they age cause games are dumb.
There's nothing the predisposes boys and girls to play games around dating and fucking besides social learning and pressure, at a certain point it gets tiresome.
It's always been tiresome for me.
Eh I think that's just because of your perspective
Older people definitely don't stop with other games. In fact their seniority allows them to go further with it

Yeah, I'm pessimist. Not because of some angst, just life experience.
And it isn't just me. Being happy isn't scientifically reasonable.

Just hit on everything is my motto
Your life experience is anecdotal though and filtered through the lens of whatever social pressures have shaped you into the human you are now.
I'm sure, it seems to me, based on my limited experience, that these games become less common over time rather than more common.

That's what I said. It isn't just me.
The happiness trap is real.
People are content. Not happy.
