Perhaps it could BECOME a legitimate forum for debate.
when pride in what has been established becomes the
basis for argument it shows. skin bec0mes onionlike and
tranmsparent -- the people cannot really sustain logical
rational argument without becomeing despearately
ad-hominem and resorting to flat out denial and turnig
away.
which does what? it creates fallow earth where nothing
can grow, ezspecailly not intellectual or socially
healing fruit. which was the original and utterly non ad
hominem statement. this will remain a film PHILOSOPHY
group -- as that is what it says on the label. filmic
philosophy. now if you want to do what Americans have
done and drum out the real intelect and courage from
think tanks and bunches of people who get together to
attempt to understand, what you will do is understand,
-- by accident -- the bile and hatred that an Artaud had
for the system, for the mise-en-scene and sometimes for
theater arts.
the original statement remains the same -- that academia
is dusty and dry-fart-like 0-- and therefore everything
about funneling back towards capitalisme is what it is
about.
sop it goes no where. it ceases to be about
intellectual maverics or stand alones, rebels, and
becomes about Eliot's waste land.
now if you feel insulted by this, you feel free to
attack my person.
But i have NAMED NO NAMES and it will make you look like
a pimple. What capitalism has done has been to outlaw
feeling that is not enslaved to the State. That is a
THESIS. it goes along with analyzing and attempting to
gain an understanding that is beyond petty personal
judgments about the ideas that we hope to turn into
visual moving story.
