It was sitting on my bookshelf so I said "why not?" It's taking me a lot longer than it should, since I'm practically plowing through the thing but don’t wanna drop it this far into it (sunk cost fallacy, I know). I think Marlow sorta summarizes my feelings towards it in one part of the book...

I also don't have a Facebook for the same reason. I'm thinking a). sharing the link on my Instagram page as a story (it's not like I have a lot of followers or artistic friends, but maybe it could help) or b). reaching out to the people I know are into art personally and casually dropping the link.

I've seen the term "collective trauma" thrown around a few places on the internet when talking about the pandemic, and while I don’t know if it's collective (I guess that’s why I'm asking), I'm certainly starting to feel it myself. At the beginning of the quarantine I was sort of excited to see...

Re-reading this right now. Roughly translated it would be Chin Chin The Wino. Best way I could describe it is kind of like Factotum, written in a Hubert Selby style (lack of puntuation, lots of slang and no regard for grammar) and set in Tepito, Mexico City. It's worth checking out (though I...

I just found out about Leonora Carrington. I had never heard about her before. I've been looking through her work a little and it looks very interesting. She seems really sincere in her approach to art, too.

That sucks. Hope you can get it all back.

I'm personally a sucker for old, colonial architecture. The historic downtown of Cartagena, Colombia is a good example. We have something similar where I live but let’s just say that, unlike the one in Cartagena, it hasn’t been taken care of as it should. It’s mostly dilapidated and abandoned...

Hello! Welcome to the forum. How was your collection stolen?

This is some of the most interesting concept I've seen in a while. I saw a few similar videos I wanted to share here but I didn’t know where to post them. I'll post them here.

Never seen it. I was never really into the Bond movies. I liked the concept, but somehow the movies never drew my attention. However... damn, was that N64 game good!

I've been thinking about it lately and, like MJP said, the main think about punk is the DIY thing. Although, I would also add simplicity and environment (as skiroomalum said in his post) as trademarks of punk. I guess it all falls into the rock n' roll umbrella, but by now rock is one big...

I'll wait a bit more to see what Amazon is up to. The page you linked to says the printed edition is out of stock. If it takes too long (which already happened to me once this quarantine with Septuagenarian Stew which I had to cancel) I'll buy the e-book so don't worry. Thanks a lot for the help.

Okay, okay. I'll have whatever he's having. It says they'll send me an e-mail as soon as it's available. Been waiting two weeks so far. Don't know if there's anywhere else I could get it Hosh.

I'm probably gonna give Sandinista! a second listen (I first got around to listening to it completely like three months ago). That record left me overwhelmed from the amount of songs and the variety in styles, but something in me wants to listen to it again. However, this song stuck to me like...

Gave the 7 day free HBO trial a shot and saw two really good TV shows.

A bit of rant here, feel free not to respond. I was in another corner of the internet and I saw a discussion that truly rang a bell with me, and it's how a lot of things right now on the internet and sometimes in art are presented as "ironic" and "satire." If they are not explicitly presented by...

Been on a movie kick lately. Watched Jarhead for the first time and liked it. Also rewatched Robocop and Dredd, which I'd really recommend if you like Robocop. Yesterday I saw this one, which surprised me a lot with how good it was.

She's an actress who mostly appears in teenage comedies and that kind of crap, but she's very good nonetheless. Known for her deadpan humor. I'd really recommend Ingrid Goes West, a movie where she plays a crazy fan who stalks her favorite Instagram star, eventually deciding to go to LA to...

Was planning on starting a new thread asking about jobs, but my better judgement told me to use the search bar. Just wanted to know some of your experiences working. Have any of you had one of Bukowski's jobs? How was your experience? One of my mother's grandparents worked in a factory where...

I used to be one of those people that think "Wow this is weird and I can't understand it, therefore it must be DEEP (and I'm probably dumb)!" Then I read Bukowski. I still enjoy some of Lynch's movies (Eraserhead is an all-time favorite) and surrealist art in general, but it's sometimes hard to...

It's definitely a product of its time. I think that, like they usually say about the show, it inspired a lot of the shows we see today, in the sense that it's more of a long movie than a TV show. The first season still holds up, in my opinion. The second one is a slog to get through, but has its...
