Those oh so golden times you talk about, most children died when they were toddlers. Thats why they had so many children. People have been practicing contraception for thousands of years.

Not useless, just increasingly irrelevant. I went through film school and found myself at a major disadvantage to those kids who just went for it. Most all of us who come out of film school find it to be like that.

Its great for learning theory, but its a pratical field and your degree means little. Do I regret studying film? No. I learnt a lot. I regret that I paid so much but thems the breaks. Buying a camera and sound equipment is probably a much better investment.

Notice how peope who subscribe to left vs. right mentality are idiots?

Simply existing is murder because you inadvertently contribute to the chaos of the world that will lead to the deaths of others.

Its only murder if someone cares. Nobody is gonna cry over Tiffany's cum stained panties.

shit we can even communicate with coma patients simply by asking them to generate emotions to answer 'yes' or 'no' answers

Children's literature.

Is getting into film useless? No not at all, its one of the few creative fields loaded with opportunity if you want it. You have to deal with some of the worst people though.

slapdash is my favorite though, and more succintly articulates the idea.

rushed or hurried are more conventional terms

Check your area for local production houses, ask around if anyone knows someone, or hell just move to LA and wing it.

This. Some of us just want to eat fresh foetal material.

totes orginal qwote op xD

It's a shame we don't have mods, because Rand needs to be autobahn

If you want to follow film, dont go to college, try to apprentice/shadow someone who actually does this shit already. You'll need a job on the side, but youll gain more skills, contacts, and credibility than someone out of college.

Sadly this is what everyone is doing, and there arent nearly enough positions. Enjoy dat community college course.

Eric is caught up in a en epic stampede of the hippoi athanathoi, horses of the gods, his best friend Lars is destroyed by their hooves. His wife remarks that she never really loved him.

The exact same threads about 1984, Rand, Camus, and Dostoevsky again and again and again and again and again and again and again

ITT a community college lecturer with an ego flaunts it like a slut

I liked it when I was a kid

I preferred the Oz books though

reposting this from some anon:

"Cyberpunk was a fairly small and temporally distinct movement. You can pretty easily read all or most of the significant cyberpunk works. Check out William Gibson (especially Neuromancer), John Shirley (especially City Come A Walkin), and Bruce Sterling (especially Islands in the Net). Also read the anthology Mirrorshades. Also When Gravity Fails is okay. That's at least a decent start. Oh, also, Snowcrash, which is a decent parody of the genre, in addition to being a decent Neal Stephenson novel.

For some stuff outside Cyberpunk, suggest you read Ian McDonald, who owns bones - seriously he's really cool. You might also enjoy some of Charles Stross' stuff, or that one Cory Doctorow book (can't remember the name and hate Cory Doctorow, but yu might like it)."
