Rentboy does his favorite book

>I love you.
Fucken faggot

idk, my fantasies of success go a little bit farther than what this guy has accomplished so far..

What really bothers me about this guy is how he's clearly trying to be so enchanted by all this shit, I'd honestly watch his videos if he didn't seemed like he was fresh out his first watch of Amelie Poulain trying to enjoy the little things in life or some shit.

Just drink excessively and talk about your parental complexes while trying to give a clumsy analysis of Gargantua and Pantagruel, seems more honest.

Too busy watching youtube videos of depressed women past their prime present their misinterpretations of Debord and Jameson.

>Watch any of his videos and you will struggle to find even one piece of compelling analysis or unique insight about the book being discussed. He uses vague adjectives and personal anecdotes to repackage book reviews which would otherwise hold no more substance than a cover flap quote.
this is exactly my problem with him. that said I usually still bear through a couple minutes of his videos because he reviews the pomo trash that I love

Anyone have any theories as to why I find this woman being wrong for 13 minutes arousing? It blindsided me desu.

You know she is trying hard but deep down she really just wants to forget about all this lifeless academic nonsense and have her hair pulled and her ass slapped.

It shines through in her critique. Look at the sexual tension when she talks about superficial needs at 5:20 in the first video.
Hilariously, she then moves on to discuss aging, trying to dismiss her own denial of the fact she will never again be unashamedly railed by a handsome teenage stud on a frat couch like that time in first year.

She believes in astrology...

She genuinely believes in astrology...

And she teaches at a university...

Women are nuts for astrology. I decided to try The Luminaries after it won the Booker, and it starts straight into astrology. Completely crazy.

Only good book tuber is bulletdeer

>i basically just chucked the old book out the door
what?

That's a UK 10.

are you serious?

Also it's as if every other video she changes her style.

How her forehead gon have it's own shining star bruh

No, sadly, he is not ironic at all. Hyde has better taste too.
Yeah nah mate
Religious belief is not eradicated, it's just substituted. This woman chose feminism, conspiracy theories about capitalism and astrology instead of traditional spirituality.

And the fire burn.

>Sensibility, modus operandi. His methods are punk, output sublime.
Very informative.

>With that said, he is an absolute pseud. Watch any of his videos and you will struggle to find even one piece of compelling analysis or unique insight about the book being discussed. He uses vague adjectives and personal anecdotes to repackage book reviews which would otherwise hold no more substance than a cover flap quote. His content is intellectually bankrupt and more concerned with filling the facade of a lit lifestyle than actually making meaningful contributions to the internet's literary discussion.
Absolutely this. It's so incredibly, nearly insultingly obvious. You learn nothing from his reviews, not even his own opinion on it because he can't even begin to formulate his opinion or analyse the content of the books.

Cliff is a Nick Land fanboy.

/ourguy/ confirmed

Did you watch OPs vid? If he is our guy this place is worse than I thought.

Dean Goranites has always been /ourguy/

holy fuck under rated post

Hey Cliff!

So...let me get this straight...

>He has the rights to shoot Acephale?
>He wrote the script?
>He talked with Christopher Doyle in a bar and the guy said, "lol, sure kid, I'll shoot your movie."
>So he takes to YouTube to ask for money and think everyone's gonna be blown away by this?

So he thinks this movie is, for sure, officially happening? He can't honestly believe this, right?

Then, it hits:

>"Oh Gosh, gee golly willickers...I mean...like...what if I cast the perfect lead actress meeting her on YouTube??? Crazier things have happened, right???"

Aaaaaaaaaaand there it is, Cliff. There it is.

Gotta hand it to you, buddy. You're definitely taking booktube whoring to a new level. In a way, I respect it. Brazen and brash.

Good luck, buddy.

Can you cast me in the movie. I can play the eye

I though 2666 was his favorite.

I thought it was Blood Meridian.

I'm jealous. He's living a full and interesting life doing what he loves and I'm here reading some anons shitposting.

Pretty good

Thanks

Hey!

Post pics and I'll see if I can use you.

No

Close, but no

Thanks man. Please stop by my Patreon and make a donation to fund that lifestyle.

Where do you get the idea that he is successful?

He barely has an audience and surely doesn't do this for a living. Having a trust fund doesn't mean you are a success at your hobbies.

TfN is leftist era Nick, easy to like for pseuds.

>leftist era Nick

Why do people keep repeating this meme? There's no such thing.

>Traditional schemas which oppose technics to nature, to literate culture, or to social relations, are all dominated by a phobic resistance to the side-lining of human intelligence by the coming techno sapiens. Thus one sees the decaying Hegelian socialist heritage clinging with increasing desperation to the theological sentimentalities of praxis, reification, alienation, ethics, autonomy, and other such mythemes of human creative sovereignty. A Cartesian howl is raised: people are being treated as things! Rather than as ... soul, spirit, the subject of history, Dasein? For how long will this infantilism be protracted?

This was written the same year Thirst for Annihilation came out.

I'm now embarrassed to like this book.

I laughed uncontrollably. I hope he remembers that comment on his deathbed when he breathes his last unfulfilled breath.

Ah man, I almost feel bad for him now... almost.

Holyshit, this guy is shameless

i do feel bad for him. think i'm growing too thin-skinned, because these days i often feel that Veeky Forums is too mean-spirited. i just wanna funpost with my e-bros, not mock others relentlessly :(

The guy is a genuine con-artist, he deserves to be mocked

Why are women so interested in mysticism and astrology?

>I'm going to discuss a book
>but first let me tell you a meandering story about my life

shit like this is why i dont miss having a gf

this is so pure and nice user, get out now while you can

this is as awful as his reviews
2edgy4me

Did he confess to murder at the end, or is it just me?

>edgy

Bonjourno reddito

Hamfisted but good effort.

Don't you understand the best thing you can do is absolutely nothing? Just let him drift into obscurity like every other hack...

>Rentboy
It's Ratboy.

but i love this place. you guys were my friends when i had none. it's just that i appreciate Veeky Forums for different reasons now, as a 23 year old finally growing comfortable with who i am, than i did when i was a bitter 13 year old.

Usually I can tune into cultural toxicity but I don't understand what's so repulsive about this guy. Do you need to know a lot about literature? I don't know a lot about literature

He talks the talk but he doesn't-
No.
He walks the walk but he doesn't talk the talk. Style over substance. He has nothing to say and takes a huge time and æsthetic effort to say it.

WHY DO I UNDERSTAND
BUT CAN'T EXPLAIN
WHY DO I UNDERSTAND
BUT CAN'T ARTICULATE

He's that guy who always brings a guitar to a party but can only play like four chords

ahahaaha dang fanwise

that's the one i hate

He sometimes manages to do it, but it's rather rare

Can I play the priest?

I opened the video just to thumbs-up this comment. Doing god's work user.

Fanwise dump

...

absolutely based

>Hegelianism is a humanism

'i've sutdied rigorously' DYING

This is a good analogy. Painfully oblivious or just doesnt care about appropriate manners/culture

lel underrated

Only reason to be in a band in the 70's, and now the only reason to be a film maker in LA.

the sarge is getting btfo

what does he do for a living? I want that life.

I swear, this user is the most bitter person ever.

he's a rat-resembling humanoid who lives off his parents' money and makes videos like he's 19 despite being 42

>What is Veeky Forums /pol/?

that fanwise guy is a bit too much angst for my liking but if this is how cliff is going to play it then he deserves to be called out.

there was so much overly affected posturing going on in OPs video; it's undeniable.

Is he, dare I say it, /our guy/?

What an insufferable faggot. This post embodies the essence of manchildern perfectly. What kind of grown adult can't control his/her emotions enough to cordially explain their viewpoint?

That he makes so little of the 'patrician' authors he reviews does not grow his intellectual stature. James Franco-tier.

Bataille would probably begin plotting this guy's death upon seeing this video.

fuck off Cliff

He /does/ analyze at times in his videos, it's just not consistent nor is it a barrage of information spoken formally. He's very casual about the videos, the complete opposite of pretentious. He's just a completely normal guy and you guys can't get past that because very few people here believe normies can be interested in high literature and understand it well.

>very few people here believe normies can be interested in high literature and understand it well.

that isn't at all what this thread has been about. user are annoyed with his posturing. you can be a normal person and still know quite a lot about high art..
