DOES ANYONE KNOW ENOUGH FRENCH TO TELL ME IF THIS IS BARTHES TALKING ABOUT AUTHORSHIP OR THE DEATH OF THE AUTHOR OR ANYTHING?

DO ANY FURRIES KNOW FRENCH? ANY WILLING TO HEP ME OUT PLEASE?

Did you ever think that Foetus should stop using those faggy keyboards and be, like, a metal band making ironic circus music? If you did, you'd be retarded, but you also might really dig this album. That said, there's a lot of really great shit on this album, but the problem is that it overstays its welcome by a long-shot and while the music is often quite interesting, the lyrics are almost always completely smarmy and idiotic. 6.5/10.

i found a little plot of land
in the Garden of Eden
it was dirt and dirt is all
the same
i tilled it with my two hands
and i called it
my very own
there was no one to dispute
my claim
well, you'd be shocked at the state of things:
the whole place had just cleared right out
it was hot as hell, so i lay me by the spring
for a spell, as naked as a trout
the wandering eye that i have caught
is as hot as a wandering sun
but i would want for nothing more
in my garden; start again
in the hardening to every heart but one
meet me in the Garden
of Eden
bring a friend
we are gonna have ourselves a time
we are gonna have a golden party
it's on me
no siree, it's my dime
we broke our hearts in the war between
St. George and the dragon,
but both in equal parts are welcome
to come along
i'm inviting everyone
farewell, two loves that i have known
even muddied as waters run
tell me, what is meant by sittin' alone
in a garden, seceded
from the Union in the year of '81?
the unending amends you made
are enough for one life; be done
i believe in innocence, little darlin'; start again

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS pfffffffff quentin, you card, you
Posted 16 years agoi know
i know how much you like them
but seriously now
really
you AREN'T GODARD
STOP PASSING OFF SHITTY PACING/EDITING FOR JUST LIKING NEW WAVE
NO IT ISN'T "EDGY" FOR PEOPLE TO AWKWARDLY PLAY PARTY GAMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FILM
godDAMN
it was so fucking stupid. there is not good-stupid either. It was just completely idiotic. Every time someone is about to die, you can see it ten minutes away. every character was a non-dimensional mess created entirely so you think that they're badasses. and apparently WAR IS SO MUCH FUN (see trailer's tagline: "you haven't seen war until you've seen it through the eyes of quentin tarantino " )
"WHEN DONNIE BEATS TO DEATH NAZIS, IT'S THE CLOSEST THING WE GET TO MOVIES"
SERIOUSLY, QUENTIN, SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU... all these wonderful little sociopaths are wonderful little heroes-- not even portrayed as anti-heroes-- they're just pitch-perfect badasses. Nope nothing wrong with cruel violence. It would have been interesting if they were disgusted by the time they did the scalpings, or if they seemed empty after the murders. But no, HOOH YEAH, IT'S MANLY ACTION TIME. All the Germans too are just one-dimensional prissy dick-wads.
And it was completely pedantic for the clinch to figuring out the Brit was how he held up his fingers. not even a subtle thing. it's just Quentin going "LOOK AT THESE FACTS I KNOW". All the characters are like that. Everything is just to get them to say some cute thing in hopes people will think he's clever, or add some inane pop culture reference to anywhere.
Also, what the fuck: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3022817280/nm0910607 "ja, i am tscherman, tsee my reedeeculous alps pipe" in the middle of a pretty damn serious scene; then again, whenever that character opens his mouth, its always something really affected and stupid sounding, so not liked it really ruined the non existent suspense. There was so much really cheap, predictable over-used cliche bullshit that anyone with a brain could pick out miles away. Aldo saying he could speak Italian, everyone getting killed in that one scene, the french guy at the beginning hoarding jews and obviously at least four people must die by the end of the scene, etc. The plot was stupid, as usual, the acting was affected and unbelievable, as expected, the writing overwrought and corny, and as much as i love talking about movies and things about them, shoehorning it into a WW2 picture is completely needless and adds nothing to plot, setting, character, or human understanding whatsoever (we don't need the characters telling us that they're in a Mexican standoff why are you doing this to us why do you hate everyone quentin where did your uncle touch you).
and as much as i hate thinking about art in terms of cultural theory-- this isn't art: i wonder if anyone sees the cultural problem with how all of the jews in this film are all driven entirely by cold-blooded revenge with nothing else to it. (and didn't the Allies have no knowledge fo the concentration camps and such before the war ended? i mean, everyone hated Jews at that point still. the UK refused a boatful of Jews saying even one would be too many to let in (and then the USA and Canada rejected them too)).
And the music, christ the music, we know, Quentin, how much you like spaghetti westerns, but this isn't the time nor the pla-- DAVID BOWIE, WHAT?!... GODDAMNIT, QUENTIN, GET BACK IN THE CAR, WE'RE GOING HOME.
Last scene was basically Final Destination. EVERYONE DIES. WHY. BECAUSE I SAID SO I AM TARANTINO, GOD OF MOVIES, BOW DOWN BEFORE MY POWER TO PASS OFF SMUG BULLSHIT AND RIP-OFFS AS ART.
From IMDb: "When asked about the misspelled title, director Quentin Tarantino gave the following answer: "Here's the thing. I'm never going to explain that. You do an artistic flourish like that, and to explain it would just take the piss out of it and invalidate the whole stroke in the first place.""
Oh you pretentious cunt...
the lulziest experience i'vve ever had was in the trailers, specifically Law Abiding Citizen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzxHnXDOsbw#t=1m29s just 1:29-1:36. I couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the trailer in the theatre. not even "all of you" from the writer/director of Equilibrium. Haha. I would go to that though. I would watch Gerard Butler killing EVERYONE in the world for two hours. Now that is an action movie with no pretentions to being anything more.
tl;dr : i am quentin tarantino aint i a genius movie was insincere, predictable, retarded, the same as every action type movie, EVERYONE DIES, and Zac weeps for movies because he is pretentious and can't have fun.

There's also some kind of "under 25" thing going on at some community centre downtown that's also for fags and dykes, maybe go to that. But I'm sort of thinking it'd be everything i wouldn't be interested in anyhow.
I probably don't really have anything better to be doing anyway, so maybe i ought to try to go to those things, but i don't know. what does fuzzaffinity think?
In other news, every day from monday to friday I will be watching one portion of Matthew Barney's Cremaster Cycle. Wheeeeeeeeeee?

8 THINGS/1 onesentence review/the truth about canada
Posted 16 years agoA--
1- i like Ayn Rand's novels and there are many aspects of her philosophy that aren't just rape/conservatism that are nice such as individualism, artistic integrity, holding strong to your morals, being your own person, finding happiness on your own means, strive for the best, be self aware and honest, etc. (although in real life she really was a slutty bitch). a friend and i were talking once and it went like-- Me: "i just noticed that all the people i know who liek Ayn Rand aren't libertarians/objectivists." other guy: "lol, and all the people i know who are libertarians hate Ayn Rand." wheee.
2- i fucking hate the idea of liking things "ironically". a main measure of worth for movies/music/books/all-art for me is how sincere it is. like, even frank zappa and captain beefheart, when making ridiculous and funny songs, made it with sincere expression in mind.
3- i fear being pretentious.
4- i feel bad for not reading more than i do right now.
5- i often(read: always) lack the drive to get anything done.almost all of the time unless i get an outside push to do it.
6- i hate hate hate hate hate hate linda nochlin's essay "why there are no great women artists". bitch should go back to the kitchen.
7- i think i'm losing weight like i ran over a Gypsy lately, but instead of any sort of pride or good-feeling about it, i feel mostly just embarrassed and kind of just weirded out by it.
8- Ray Carney and Piero Scaruffi are sort of heroes of mine in a way.
B--
Veckatimest (2009), by Grizzly Bear.
"With Veckatimest, Grizzly Bear has created a Pet Sounds for our generation; unfortunately, subsequent generations don't require superfluous revamps of existing albums that remain widely available" (line ripped off from Andrew Miller). 5/10.
Standout track: the only not-boring track, the strangely mesmerizing "Two Weeks".
C-- just so you know about Canada

Posted 16 years agoHoney (1968), by Bobby Goldsboro.
By and far, the most gloriously lame thing I have ever heard. 3/10.
Standout track: the almost-Zombies-rip-off "Love Arrestor".
The Furry Album (2009), by Kurrel the Raven.
Stephin Merritt is a big influence-- or maybe I should say STEPHIN FERRET! DO HO HO (but seriously, some really cute and "human" art-pop, even if half made up of in-jokes it makes a real effort at accessibility ). 6/10.
Standout track: The heartwrenching "Maybe One Day".
I Could Live in Hope (1994), by Low.
So sad you'd think they're swedish, so heartfelt you'll be surprised they're mormon. 9/10.
Standout track: the dynamically hopeful and yet hopeless ten-minute "Lullaby".
69 Love Songs (1999), by The Magnetic Fields.
A few good tunes, a great track or two, and 60 or so disappointments. 5/10.
Standout track: The beautifully hopelessly sad, if slightly obscure, "Busby Berkeley Dreams".
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart (2009), by the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.
A cute, catchy little collection of My Bloody Valentine b-sides. 6/10.
Standout track: The adorable and punny-as-all-hell "Young Adult Friction".
The In Sound From Way Out! (1966), by Perrey & Kingsley.
Influential in that is the first electronic pop music created-- not without its campy ridiculous flaws though, but still not without its campy ridiculous merits. 7/10.
Standout track: the cute "Swan's Splashdown".
Jealous of Shit & Shine (2006), by Shit & Shine.
Turning using crappy half broken instruments and recording equipment-- and then breaking them even more-- into an artform. 8/10.
Standout track: the tribal minimalist jam "Practicing To Be A Doctor".
The River (1980), by Bruce Springsteen.
The American Dream. 9/10.
Standout track: the bittersweet pragmatic "Hungry Heart" or the gloriously tragic title track "The River"
WEAKNESS (2009), by weakness. http://weakness.bandcamp.com/
Better than Wavvves. 7/10.
Standout track: the funky punky "fame" and the dynamic "Stormy Dayz".
