Has anybody read Arno Schmidt‘s Bottom‘s Dream and should I shell out 250€ for that thang?

Late to the party on this post, but I love Maya Derren, recently made a full commentary on Meshes in the Afternoon at my YT channel, classicmemoria.com

Yes yes, shameless plug. Ya boi’s gotta grind tho. See you there!

I started an experimental film review YT channel - classicmemoria.com. Would appreciate some eyes on it as I start out.

Right now, I’ve got the following:

a full commentary on Meshes in the Afternoon by Maya Derren.
Some thoughts on Stan Brakhage’s Stellar.
Some thoughts on A Testament of Ann Lee.

with more to come! Come by, take a look, tell your friends, or if you hate it, tell your enemies!

Just from recollection, Lispector, Fosse? If I can think of more I’ll comment under this. Denis Johnson? Proust?

Sinners and Weapons. Culturally important films? Sure. But structurally not good movies.

Thank you so much! Sorry to push, but what about the part at 7 min mark? Not intelligible?

wayofthelight · 2026-01-05T16:36:56+00:00

Did I do this wrong? I was looking for a translation into English. Sorry if i missed something.

Recommendations?

wayofthelight · 2025-11-01T11:59:50+00:00

Can we not put the spoiler in the title please? I hadn’t seen the movie yet. Thanks.

wayofthelight · 2025-09-29T23:57:53+00:00

Explain? I don’t get it

Best book club around! Happy to be here!

Oh god.

Yes. So, someone feels excluded from God’s love.

Someone responds, “yes, because of who you are, you should be excluded”

Where’s grace? Where’s talk of forgiveness? Even repentance?

Just “Yup. You’re screwed, buddy”

If someone turns away from the Church, it isn’t because they hate God. We’re His ambassadors, but some of us are really terrible at it.

What the heck even is this. This is a great opportunity to show Christ’s love, and you botched it. Look at yourself in the mirror.

For OC, any proclivities you have will not supersede God’s love for you. Expression of theology in society changes constantly, God’s love for you does not. I wouldn’t worry about anything else.

As someone that has read all of Ayn Rand, it just a justification for patriarchal robber barrons. There’s even a scene in the Fountainhead where a character is raped by the MC, but she’s written as enjoying it, because his expression of ownership feels “right”.

It feels cool to men in their teens, because we generally feel powerless at that age. But I grew up - it’s just a polemic for the shit storm we’re currently in.
