i have been a stan, but now im not.

i guess im a stan for raymond durgnat, but y'all would have to google that so it's not like i have to defend him ever.

horseshoe i want u to know that this thread was also partially inspired by that "high schoolers favorite books" thread or whatever where u came in swinging ready to defend your favorite books to the death--i admire that very much

Durgnat's socio-political approach - strongly supportive of the working classes and, almost as a direct result of this, American popular culture, and dismissive of Left-wing intellectuals who he accused of actually being petit-bourgeois conservatives in disguise, and dismissive of overt politicisation of film criticism, refusing to bring his own Left-wing views overtly into his writings on film - can best be described as "radical populist".

ha ha this doesnt remind me of anyone on ilx at all.......

haha googled raymond durgnat, considering becoming a raymond durngnat stan

xpost aw! i maybe do this a little too much, but whatevs

nah theres something i like about loving writers/artists/actors so much that theyre like family, and you feel like youre the only one allowed to criticize them

i srsly think one of the things that influenced me being this way about things/people i like is that scene in manhattan where diane keaton and that awful dude are making fun of, like, f scott fitzgerald and other awesome people and woody allen's character is like, "yeah and how about mozart and shakespeare? all of those people you just named are great." it's so true!

I guess I'm an f scott fitzgerald stan if I'm a stan at all

I'll rep before I'll stan, if someone doesn't like something I love then total whatevs

im a stan for like half the things in the world

right?

haha i think i mostly agreed with diane keaton's list in that movie

then you are my sworn enemy

sporting a commemorative username here ppl

i like this thread but i don't like the idea that attaching myself to something as family implies that i'm going to lock my girlfriend in my trunk

i dont know that i would really kill my girlfriend over my borges standom but im not going to make any promises at this point

me not being able to fathom why anyone would be put in a situation where they have to defend borges probably means I am a huge borg stan

a key sign of standom is complete and total shock that anyone could dislike the object of your standom

hmmmm...better throw Jack Kirby on the pile, then.

i like all these shits... i mean im totally with you on borges max, i even tracked down his house in BsAs when i was there... but for some reason i cant commit myself to any real stanistans. maybe i'm too fickle, tastes change too much or something?

lol im watching a pbs show right now made by charlie chaplin stans

everyone on this thread is an ilx stan

max since you are the Borges stan, I have only read Historia universal de a infamia and thought it was a'ight, what should I read that is awesome?

lol, dont ask stans what to read, because we will say, "all of it"

> jean-pierre melville

Nice one, and this means you are the person I was probably thinking about when posting on the greatness of "Big Deal on Madonna Street" this morning. Or last night. Or whatever.

i like the early stuff and his evolution is pretty amazing to behold too xp

agree on the evolution part but the gangs of new york and chinese pirate kite flying princess saving the day shit is pretty zzzzzzzz

big royal trux and steely dan stan 2

i actually was an eminem stan. but it faded. (still will stan for the first 3 records, but i guess conditional stanning isn't stanning at all.)
