— “GOOD ART CLARIFIES THE MIND AND HINTS AT FORGOTTEN VALUES. GOOD ART IS MAN’S DIVINE RIGHT AND TERRIBLE DUTY. THE WHINING, COPING, HAM SANDWICH RACE WISHES TO DESTROY THE CANON.”Long way to say that according to them, good art conforms to their biases, while bad art challenges them.
I’d argue it’s the opposite. Good art should challenge the way you think, it should be capable of making you uncomfortable.
this feels fascist
this is basically the nazi obsession with removed art (the fact it was removed implies worse words than what I actually said)
If “Hints at Forgotten Values” and “Believes in, and tries to produce, beauty” weren’t enough then “Good art is man’s divine right and terrible duty” should remove all doubt. Its most definitely Fasch.
On the offchance anyone doesn’t know, it’s the word that’s the opposite of regenerate
How are these losers still crying about Duchamp’s fountain over 100 years later?
A seething, unstructured, arythmic thing that made you feel weird, sapped your energy, set off a downward spiral, confused your mind, spat on beauty, mocked the very concept of values and enfeebled life itself? That is not bad art. That is a Great Old One.
I’m UNSTRUCTURED AND OBSESSIVELY ANTI-RHYTHM
A lot of the bad column describes Nier Automata
(But in a good way? Art is supposed to be many things; provocative and thought inducing as expression of the human condition is worth remembering.)
The only real difference between good art and bad art, if there is such a distinction, is whether the art is revolutionary or reactionary. Art that serves revolutionary politics is good while art that wallows in some reactionary nonsense is bad. It’s quite telling that values has to either be hinted at or mocked, leaving little room for openly politicized art. Could it be that this loser has reactionary ideas but understands that those reactionary ideas can’t be openly expressed so they must be hinted at?
Nah, great art transcends the binary of revolutionary or reactionary
One could argue that great art has to have some level of creativity. And thus by deffinition cant be reactionary.
Even if a reactionary makes good art. The art has to have creativity in that sense the art is no longer reactionary.
I wonder how this guy feels about David Lynch
Fuming with rage as he watches Lost Highway:
“This is a malevolent, bad map!”
every single descriptor for “good art” makes the most sense if you’re thinking it’s talking about porn lmao. i wonder if the author would agree?
Real kino art is back on the menu boys.
One time I recommended Uncut Gems to a coworker, and she gave it a shot. She said it was the most bizarre film she had ever seen and it was completely contrary to her values.
I asked what she meant, she told me she thought Howard was going through a redemption arc. That he’d eventually see the error of his ways after winning the basketball gamble and go around to everyone he wronged to apologize, hand them money, and then convert to Christianity (yes she said this). She told me she felt weird for days after seeing it. I think she’s more used to watching creepy evangelical propaganda movies.
So that’s what this guy reminds me of
is this a tonyzaret alt account
god just like, the one thing that sticks out about this guy, about all the roman statue guys, is how obviously phony it is. like they’re preaching a doctrine of universal beauty and nietszchean inner strength but their actual life is desperately trying to craft the 280 character summary of c. s. lewis’ theology that will give them lots of followers and likes and eventually let them profitably drop-ship brain supplement powder from taiwan. i’m sorry if you are trying to make twitter your job, you are eating the bugs and living in the pods.
It’s hilarious how un-Nietzscheian this chart is. Upholding the Canon and past values, and this whole retvrn to tradition thing, enfeble, not empower, life. But what’s a more classic combo than rightwingers and not getting Nietzsche?
What is “bulletproof coffee”? Is it just some fascist coffee company or something else?
Just looked this up.
Apparently it’s a thing some people who are trying to skip breakfast do where they dump unsalted butter in their coffee.
Yup! Usually it’s a thing done by keto idiots or other “I eat only meat because humans are actually carnivores, just look at our massive canines” types. It’s pretty embarrassing, and I can’t imagine it tastes or feels good to drink
Its truly not bad until you finish the cup and your mouth feels like you just chewed and swallowed a hunk of butter for the next 45 minutes.
Hayao Miyazaki vs Junji Ito is my favorite meme too, but you don’t see me going around generalizing it.
I think this does a disservice to Miyazaki. He’s a snob and you can criticize the writing quite easily, but he at least appreciates the connection of animation to one’s experience of life rather than as an abstract exercise in pleasant stimulation.
