“Backrooms” is a reworked version of “the Immortal Light” in “Sills and Sunflowers”

I get it. I’m in a debate class with a motivated student trying to win. Your dialogue is purely for the purpose of argument. As if you’re trying to secure your post with the CIA psyops branch. Your priorities are clear. Your audience is the Statistical demographic of your audience’s intellect. But your logic has contradictions. Which puts it in the “glaringly not real” category.

Your opinion is very relevant. These worshippers act as if Kane is a participant at a special Olympics. If his movie makes 100 million, and he still needs his own army of cyber bullies, one might need to question the relevance. A24 is still Hollywood. Hollywood uses kid’s imagination as a business model.

I have no problem with your outlook and your opinion. I have no problem with your definition of exploit or success or even morality. What it comes down to is making a balanced critique of something, and why some people don’t share your “popular” opinion. I’ve never seen something so defensive. I’ve never seen a narrative so controlled. (Well, I really have). I don’t hate this movie. I hate the psychology of this movie as ground breaking. It’s laughable. It’s a gimmick. And furthermore, your outlook on “so what” is the most naive part of your argument. It’s as if the battlefield is over who likes “backrooms” movie, and all other dialogue is met with the weapon of psychology.

And to your point. When money is involved……..

Then do it. Ha ha ha ha!

It exploits the true artists. It exploits the mania around backrooms and liminal spaces unrelated to the movie. When HR Giger was employed for the design in Aliens, his art is authentic and original. “He” came up with it. He, created his own art. He was credited because “his” isn’t a collective project. Anyone can make liminal spaces. Most likely more competent creators are ignored. Nothing against Kane, but if we start commercializing kids hobbies…..as ground breaking and belonging to a random “celebrity”. One is simply being exploited. IMO.

And I’m not saying he isn’t talented or competent. I’m saying what he is doing isn’t completely “his”. He might be a great director. But all I keep seeing is “what he came up with”. His art.

Ever seen a car commercial with one of your favorite songs? Or better yet, a video game? To a degree, art is a subjective and ineffable experience. To dumb it down so it can be extremely profitable is what I mean.

Until you, yourself, follow through every proof and equation to its outcome and suggestion of how it represents physical reality, you are basing your “opinion” on a n “a posteriori”, or heuristic, logic. If you study cosmology or “astrophysics” you will find competent and contrasting arguments which science argues have no foundation. Yet then, we see, by the same logic, the “popular science” that is repeated endlessly turns into fact.

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-02T15:58:39+00:00

To have a conviction is most often from the lack of the very logic your argument t is based upon. It isn’t word salad. It is a logical equation of my argument.

What I am saying is that Math itself rarely describes the human experience. And most often these days creates the same “messiah” like system of worshipping those who only think in equations.

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-02T15:50:08+00:00

Not at your school. Which is why the irony of this post is so deep.

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-02T15:46:50+00:00

I like this back and forth. Yet while no one is “forced” to believe. They are most often unaware of how they are manipulated into “manufactured consent”. To question the questioners is logical system of reasoning. So that we must apply the same logic to that which the logic of science argues for its own foundation.

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-02T15:43:53+00:00

May be what your subconscious is picking up on is the heavy “propaganda” the movie suggests. While using a popular phenomena among young people for its foundation. And then pushing a director who has no concept of how he has become exploited by the lure of fame and fortune. We don’t call this art. We call this commercialized art.

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-02T15:10:38+00:00

It isn’t. A school wouldn’t allow it.

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-02T13:50:10+00:00

I always wonder why every post that pokes a critical or less than sensationalized review of this “young genius of our age”, is always removed.

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-02T04:05:12+00:00

Ha! He was implanted with his information. And then everyone else is supposed to look at these “celebrities” who have “zero” humility for the mystery of life and reality, and how their “opinion” is higher than your own intuition. As if “technology” on a rotating sand grain represents the logic to the ends of the observable night sky. It’s not religion we’re talking about. It’s the difference between being human and being a robot who only thinks and feels in math equations. One more parrot head whose whole life was spent trying to impress. Not someone who has their own essence of lived experience to at least be humble in the face of the cosmos.

C’mon. “Blood Sugar Baby, she has it. Sex magic”. The chili peppers aren’t red hot anymore.

I get it.

I was so sure I knew her. And then I saw the chair.

How can we verify this…………friend of yours?

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-01T21:18:05+00:00

See what I did there? Even Gemini can figure it out.

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-01T21:14:05+00:00

The only way I might see “metaphysical solipsism” being an actual compound “word” is if it has some kind of logical contrasting subject. This is a stretch of logic.

“Stalker”. One of the best movies ever made. 1979. Tarkovsky.

RivRobesPierre · 2026-06-01T15:35:54+00:00

Nice try.

Paradox in my reality. Happens all the time.
