You’re a geek.

The way people fap over Harry Potter pisses me off. It's not good. And you're too old for that shit. And JK Rowling is a moron. And those movies were shit. Emma Watson is hot though.

 

[Montezuma]

Emma Watson is hot though.

So was Dumbledore.

Ok grouchbag

 

[Montezuma]

Rowland S. Howard is better than Nick Cave.

Have you seen Autoluminescent?

 

[El Dubya]

Ok grouchbag

You're the king of declaring things overrated, nothing in history has been more overrated than the Harry Potter series. Read a real book.

 

[El Dubya]

Have you seen Autoluminescent?

**** yeah. Saw it in cinemas, it was amazing. Held back tears through most of it.

It is a real book but they’re kids books, I grew up with HP.

The last two books aren’t really kids books tho.

 

[Montezuma]

**** yeah. Saw it in cinemas, it was amazing. Held back tears through most of it.

Yeah, it's a beauty. I liked the way they focused a lot on his work in Crime and City Solution and These Immortal Souls as opposed to just The Birthday Party.

 

[El Dubya]

Yeah, it's a beauty. I liked the way they focused a lot on his work in Crime and City Solution and These Immortal Souls as opposed to just The Birthday Party.

Yeah, which at the time I didn't know as well. I'd been put onto his solo work, which I think is his best, but that really opened up a lot of other stuff for me.

She isn't a good writer. She's barely better than Bob Dylan. Read a real author, not some genre bullshit fantasy wankfest.

You’re an English teacher, the only real authors in your mind are Shakesphere and Ernest Hemingway

 

[Montezuma]

Yeah, the two solo albums are absolute quality.

Shakespeare, overrated.

Hemingway is the best, underrated in Australia. There are many authors that I like, but so many over infantalised morons think JK Rowling's spittle is the glory of glories. Just **** off and die, she is not a good author, she's Dan Brown level.

 

[Montezuma]

Hemingway is the best, underrated in Australia.

So is Faulkner.

Hemingway a narcissistic wank.

 

[El Dubya]

So is Faulkner.

Massively. Strange how these authors have a huge impact in the US, but don't have the same affect here when Fitzgerald, a peer of theirs whose overall body is significantly worse, is lauded globally.

Hemingway a narcissistic wank.

Do you ever tire of being wrong?

 

[Montezuma]

Massively. Strange how these authors have a huge impact in the US, but don't have the same affect here when Fitzgerald, a peer of theirs whose overall body is significantly worse, is lauded globally.

It's strange as well, because I would have thought that Hemingway would be much more relatable and enjoyable to read for most Australians. In fact much more so than Fitzgerald.

Do you ever tire of being an opinionated ****wit?

You'd think so. I think it's the aspirational quality of Gatsby and the fact that so many readers miss the point, including that ****stick Baz Lurhmann, who completely ruined the novel in his shithouse movie. It's about the ultimate shallowness of the desperate search for success, yet everybody wants to dress up like a flapper and dance like a moron. **** me dead.

It’s right though.

P.s narcissistic doesn’t mean bad author but his love fest for himself is obvious in his writing. If marrying yourself was legal, he would have done it.

Hemingway’s style isn’t for everyone, I could never get into it.

 

[El Dubya]

Do you ever tire of being an opinionated *******?

Nah.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Do you ever tire of being an elitist *******?

EFA

I'm aware of what narcissism is, and I would describe Fitzgerald and Faulkner as narcissistic while both being good, moreso in Faulkner's case. Hemingway was simply passionate about writing, he loved it, he wanted to shred it to it's bare bones. It isn't narcissism it's passion.

 

[El Dubya]

EFA

Still nah.

Haha, I haven't seen the movie, but the point is clearly missed by many and kind of seen as a flamboyant and celebratory book of positivity.

I was going to go into more detail about why the movie is shit, but it was popular so I didn't want to be accused of being an elitist again.
