Like people who like these might have a very basic taste in movies, but they are real movies made by real people. Not a collection of gifable moments smashed together by an algorithm and 35 focus groups.

Also the guy's favourite movie is American psycho, I feel like you can't be an American psycho guy and make fun of fight club guys.

    The spectacle is not a collection of images, it is a social relation mediated by images. Being became having. Having became appearing. Appearing became spectating. Spectating became telling other people they were looking at shit dumb. Telling other people they were looking at shit dumb became posting online about how you told other people that they were looking at shit dumb.

    Is there something below this? Something even more bleakly abstracted from existence?

    First, you must ask yourself if you care to know the answer, and if so, why.

    Then you will come to realize that I alone watch media correctly and that mass culture peaked with Short Circuit 2.
