necrophilic ass thread

We're all ass here.

Jesus Christ, just the let thread die and we'll create a new one later

this thread = comically ass

Yes, someone create a better thread edition too next time.

>>214453363
Just hide the thread lol, or never come back. wtf?

>>214453426
You forgot -this-

Idk where to post this but I just read a short story called Moiron by Maupassant and in it a beloved man, one who goes so far as to buy his pupils candy as gifts, is discovered to have murdered dozens of his pupils through hiding broken glass in the candy he gives them
On his death bed he confesses that he did this because he realised that God was evil when his 4 children died of illness at a young age, that God was a murderer and that he'd get revenge against God by copying what God did by murdering the children
Does that ring a bell?

>>214453393
It's funny that you spoiler'd the post; shows you care for the working class lol

>>214453476
>Does that ring a bell?
No, but it reminds me of that time in It's a Wonderful Life when that drugstore nigga was drunk af and tried to poison a child.

>>214453476
Why didn’t authorities realize during the autopsy that all these niggas had cuts in their mouths and it might’ve had sum do with the nigga givin out candy, are they stupid?

>>214453477
I worked in a kitchen for 7 years. I WAS the working class son.

>>214453497
lil bro thought he was Mr. Potter

>>214453497
Idk man but after I read that I couldn't help but think Denis used it for the initial plot of Prisoners
Obviously Prisoners develops a lot of other themes beyond this plot point but still
>>214453503
They did
He got arrested and the sentence was the death penalty but he received clemency from Napoleon III and it became a lifetime in a penal colony instead

>>214453560
Idk, I'm not a huge Dennis fan. Tbh, I can't really remember about 90% of that film, but the "God is le evil" angle has been played out so much that by this time I prefer more complex motives (though God is le evil is still kino). I like Kurosawan villains; they always have interesting backstories and motives which to some degree justifies their existence.

>>214453560
Reminds me of some French story I read about some nigga who was celebrated in the army and elevated himself to high society but turned out to be a sadistic murderer and torturer of children. Something Grilles I think?

>>214453606
Prisoners was solid but only as a one time watch kind of movie. Very engaging but no rewatch value t b h. Denis peaked with Arrival and 2049.

>>214453518
Thank you for your service

>>214453614
You're thinking of Gilles de Rais; he was gonna be the subject of Pasolini's 3rd film in the style of Salo. I would sell my anus for that film.

>>214453625
Dunno, last time I checked on that n word was with Dune, -which was pretty enjoyable-, though I don't really care that much for his type of cinema.

>>214453674
2nd film
The 3rd one was going to be a film about war
That would've been the Trlogy of Death

>>214453606
I like the film because the motives and actions of the real villains aren't really that important and by the time you learn what they are they seem ludicrous
The meat of the film is how people respond to the actions of the villains
It's kind of like High and Low
By the time we arrive at the end we're a bit disappointed when the villain simply rants and then has a mental breakdown because we expect more but I loved it and thought it was perfect
>>214453614
Gilles de rais?

INTO THE CRYPT OF RAIS
OUGH

>>214453674
>>214453713
Yes that is the guy!
Did not know that was gonna be a Pasolini film. Damn shame we never got it.

>>214453732
>Gilles de rais?

Yes. It would be awesome to see a biopic of him but then again there isn’t a single director today who could probably do it right.

>>214453713
I didn't even know about the war film. Still, I think Pasolini's death is the worst event that happened to cinema by far.

>>214453732
High and Low's villain dude reeing at the end is one of the most relatable / realistic ways of coping with failure I've ever watched on a film.

>>214453785
Takashi Miike

>>214453393
hell yeah

>>214453743

>>214453807
Yeah but I mean realistically, cause Miike isn’t French and I don’t know how much he knows about the nuances of French speech and behavior so it could backfire like most directors do when they work overseas.

Ngl the lensing is actually quite nice.

Hi /film/, after much delay due to moving house over the course of this summer, the text of my new translation of Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters is finished. I just need to fine-tune the line breaks and subtitles timings and I'll be putting it on Soulseek, but first I could do with a couple of folks here taking a look at it as it stands and letting me know if the timings are at least broadly appropriate, or if you think they average way too short to read in time. The quicker folks respond the quicker I can get this polished and out there properly:

https://mega.nz/file/So4wCRpJ#mNBKV_pdEaeH8CJLwsWkoxKRIzw4gak1ABm3v1_5De8

Since this version isn't final, please don't spread it yet. I expect to have the polished version out next week if I get replies by the end of the next thread.

Because of the way the Japanese language works (i.e. in some cases words we use several syllables for, they can express in one or two syllables) my translation is necessarily going to be wordier than the official 'translation' dubtitles, and I'm sure some won't be happy with some word choices or others, but alongside this more natural/liberal translation I will also be publishing a hyper-literal translation simultaneously, and I'll also be uploading my translation notes explaining what things I'm not sure of, and the couple of dozen lines where I've deviated from what's being spoken to varying degrees e.g. to make something that translates awkwardly read clearer in English. I recommend holding off on any criticisms about the translation itself until after I publish my notes regarding my choices. At this stage I'm primarily interested in feedback about the subtitling.

What I am certain of is that my translation constitutes an upgrade over the previous translation, which for whole sections of dialogue switches to totally different topics to what the characters are talking about, and thus has been worth doing.

Why are g*rmans like this?

>become live only bands
I agree, and I think King Crimson took the correct route, but I also feel like a lot of those boomer bands actually enjoy the experience of writing and recording music, even if it's mostly insignificant stuff. Did you know Yes and Deep Purple are still releasing new material? Who's listening to it exactly, I'm not really sure

>>214474095
Crazy how Yes is still releasing new stuff given most of the original members either quit (Anderson), retired (Bruford), or died (Squire). Are Steve Howe and Alan White still playing?

This Jimbo guy was kind of badass, ngl

>>214474095
Yeah, I don't think their material of the last 20 years sucks massive ass, but it's obviously mid as hell when compared to their classic albums. It's evident that recording albums is a business for some bands, but I think the world would be a better place if we had more artists going the Acid Bath route: 2 classic albums and quitting the band when it isn't it anymore. KC is kind of a good example of a group which works in a live setting even though they don't record music anymore. Either do it right or don't do it.

>>214474666
Anon.... Alan White died 3 years ago
Howe is the only real member left. The others are mainly hired guns. And he wasn't even a founding member or the main songwriter, I'm pretty sure he's only using the name Yes instead of 'Steve Howe band' because it's easier to advertise the shows.

>>214474886

Oh fuck me.
>I'm pretty sure he's only using the name Yes instead of 'Steve Howe band' because it's easier to advertise the shows.
True. Anyone with ears and eyes can tell it's all but a tribute act at this point. I remember 5-10 years ago watching the current band perform Heart of the Sunrise live on Youtube and it was so sluggish, so lethargic compared to the original song. Seeing Howe up on stage struggling the play those fast guitar runs at the beginning genuinely bummed me out. I've always been a huge fan of Bruford and Squire given how incredible they are together in Yes, so when Squire died, I remember thinking they should've ended it right then and there. Yet they're still playing to the peanut gallery…

>>214475175
>I've always been a huge fan of Bruford and Squire given how incredible they are together in Yes, so when Squire died, I remember thinking they should've ended it right then and there
Oh, absolutely. They were the heart (heh) of the band. I feel a similar way about The Who, without Keith Moon and Entwistle, they're just an embarrassing couple of granddads.
Bruford's memoir is superb. He's a surprisingly good writer (assuming he didn't hire a ghostwriter, but I doubt it, since he's very witty and well-spoken in interviews) and there are lots of intriguing anecdotes.
