idk seems like trenchant commentary thread split the vote here
also it'd be bad form to post challops from girls only thread

I guess "trenchant social commentary," which is basically a subset of challenging opinions, does OK still.

"Such a lively character" He is like a perfect composite of all the worst aspects of every pretentious bore you could meet in a lifetime and his movies are childish fucking idiotic garbage.

Oh pish posh. He exploited the potential of cinema much more than either Chaplin or Keaton (both of whom, yes, exploited it exceedingly well and have many masterpieces under their belts). Tati may have surpassed Lewis on that level but he lacks Lewis' grotesque personality which is essential to his life-affirming effect. I'm reminded of something Richard Barrios's disdain for Al Jolson (a key Lewis progenitor) in The Singing Fool: "Charisma, when applied this relentlessly, becomes oppressive." But yo, Richard, that's precisely why we go to the movies (or listen to, I don't know, Morrissey): to witness a gargantuan, out of control ego as a way to measure the contours of our own steady paths. If I wanted an even-keeled experience, I'd knock on my neighbor's door and ask to borrow some sugar.
P.S. Pizza is stupid and boring.

An Apology For Shakespeare: Bold New Book Defends Poetry & Classic Literature, as Antidote to Culture of “Vanishing Ideals”
S.A. Joseph’s ‘An Apology for Shakespeare’ proves that the diminishing popularity of poetry, its themes and wider classic literature is a vital part of modern society’s rapid downfall. In a world where Satan’s influence runs high, the book and its explorations seek to reassert God’s influence. Joseph considers Shakespeare to be the great poet of all time and a “master of the arts”; someone whose words and concepts can still heal the world hundreds of years after they were created.
