Elf Media General

[anthony]

A thread for checking in on how our eugenic wasp/jew overlords are entertaining themselves. I read about a lot more media than I bother with in full. Now and then I find a great one I want to share with people.




"Magnificent"... "Cannes Film Festival"... "Anthony Hopkins"... "a gem"...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armageddon_Time#Plot

Plot
In 1980 Queens, New York City, on his first day in sixth grade, Jewish-American Paul Graff becomes friends with a rebellious African-American classmate, Johnny Davis. Johnny was held back by a year and gets harsher treatment from their teacher when they both joke around in class. Paul often disassociates from his schoolwork and draws pictures instead.
Paul lives with his financially stable family. He is close with his maternal grandfather, Aaron Rabinowitz, who encourages him to pursue his aspiration to become an artist. His well-meaning but strict parents, Esther and Irving, are less convinced of Paul's career prospects as an artist. At night, Aaron tells Paul the story of how Aaron's mother escaped antisemitic persecution in Ukraine, fleeing to London before eventually immigrating to the U.S. with Aaron and her British husband.

One day, Paul and Johnny are caught smoking a joint in the restrooms, unaware that it's an illegal drug. Furious, Esther allows Irving to beat Paul as punishment. In the hope that he becomes more disciplined, Paul is sent to the Forest Manor Prep private school by his parents,[sup][5][/sup] where his older brother Ted is studying. Meanwhile, Johnny stops going to school after being relegated to special education.

Forest Manor is financially supported by famous businessman Fred Trump, who also supports Ronald Reagan in the upcoming presidential election. Many of the students are also Reagan supporters. On Paul's first day, Fred's daughter Maryanne, one of the school's famous alumni, delivers a speech to the students about working to earn their success. Paul sees the school's advantages over his previous school but doesn't feel welcome. He is also unnerved by other students' racist comments when Johnny meets with him during recess. Johnny begins living in secret at Paul's clubhouse, having nowhere to go other than living with his sick grandmother, where foster system workers searching for Johnny have begun to visit regularly.

While playing at the park on the weekend, Paul tells Aaron of his struggles at school and how he did nothing when he witnessed racism. Aaron encourages Paul to stand up against prejudice when he sees it, reminding him that while antisemitism still covertly persists, he and his family still have the privilege of being white. Shortly after, Aaron dies of bone cancer, with the family mourning his loss.

Tired of living under high expectations from family and school, as well as the unfair treatment of Johnny, Paul convinces Johnny to steal a computer from school and sell it so they can run away together. After stealing the computer, they are arrested for trying to pawn it. While being interrogated, Paul confesses that it was all his plan. But knowing that he has no options in life, Johnny takes the blame to let Paul go, much to Paul's dismay. Paul and Johnny bid farewell, as Irving arrives to take him home with no consequences because Irving once did the interrogating officer a favor. At home, Irving confesses to Paul that he is sympathetic to his frustration with America's unfair racial inequality, but tells him that they need to survive to have a good life. The two agree to not tell Esther what happened, as she is still mourning her father.

Days later, the Graff family are disappointed by Reagan's victory in the election, while Paul is focused on schoolwork. During a Thanksgiving dance at school, Fred Trump addresses the students, expressing hope that they'll become the next successful elite. A disillusioned Paul leaves during the speech.

You need a very high iq to understand this.

Definitely. Apparently there are plans for a sequel to this very popular movie...

In October 2022, Gray said he was interested in wrangling back the cast for a semi-sequel to Armageddon Time, to focus solely on his mother, who was portrayed by Anne Hathaway. "The story goes in a very unexpected place," said Gray, "Because my father actually did achieve some financial success but wound up getting it all confiscated by the government when he got into legal trouble [?]. At the same time, my mother found out she was dying. And so, it's going to be, I think, something about that period."

The assembly line of (Jewish) autobiographical feature films shows no sign of stopping.

[Guest]

I've been trying to figure out why films like this exist. They're not entertaining in the slightest, and they're not marketed to a broad audience, so they fail as propaganda. Even the kikepedia article admits that Armageddon Time flopped. It's redundant for jews and collaborating upper-class goyim as anything the film has to say is something they already believe. There's nothing wrong with a director making films he wants to make rather than churning out blockbusters for the lowest common denominator, but media like this is just shit. James Gray is not doing anything interesting with film as a visual medium and he's certainly not "experimental" because tikkun olam glurge has been around for a very long time now.

At first I thought these are conceptually similar to DTV B-movies or mockbusters insofar as why they're made. Namely, to game and exploit a system. B-movies and mockbusters exploit the old and lower class by looking superficially similar to better movies whose names they can't remember clearly. Movies like Armageddon Time exploit the upper class by meeting a quota of tropes that jews deemed "artsy". Everyone knows that some films are made for no other reason to win awards, even if those awards are petty shit that only the worst faggots could ever care about, so that seems like a good enough explanation. However, there may be another purpose to these films.


Consider fashion shows. They are quite strange on the outset. Models walking down the runways are often wearing bizarre outfits that look like expensive Halloween costumes. I used to look at them and think "Who the fuck is going to wear this in public?" until someone pointed out to me that no one is meant to actually wear mass-produced versions of the outfits shown.  Rather, they're meant to act as inspiration for practical clothing that incorporates subtle aspects of the runway outfits. In this way, film festivals like Cannes and films like Armageddon time may act as the equivalent of fashion shows for the film industry. Directors with broader audiences may attend these film festivals (and may even be required to do so if they want to get anywhere) and the films shown may set guidelines for the kind of content directors are expected to include henceforth. A jew shows off some grotesque shit at cannes, and over the next few years mainstream films feature similar themes to his work.

Writing all this finally made me understand the careers of directors like Todd Solondz and Harmony Korine. They're not simply pretentious jews who think too highly of themselves but tastemakers and trendsetters for the larger film industry.

I must confess that I've seen this movie, but only because my mom told me to watch it with her. At some point a character says nigger and I couldn't stop myself from kekking out loud. I'm truly a victim of the longhouse. Maybe in WWWW tortured souls like me will get the highbrow biographical coming-of-age dramas dedicated to them.

By the way, look at the Wikipedia page for "Category:Films about racism in the United States". All this human effort dedicated to shallow ideological production. In scale of waste and opulence, I feel like I'm watching 10,000 tech destruction videos at once: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:F...ted_States

“I enjoyed the Will Ferrell movie about them.”

Writing an autobiographical dramatic screenplay about why I was a good person in middle school and how my parents beat me one time.

The central moral to the story will be ethnic agitation propaganda, to teach a lesson to the nation my family emigrated to.

My favorite thing about Jews is how humble they can be. The film received positive reviews from critics, which is what really matters in the end.

In January 2012, while criticizing then-leader of the opposition Tony Abbott in a speech at the National Press Club in Canberra, Australian Federal Minister Anthony Albanese plagiarised several lines from The American President.[sup][17][/sup]

Albanese describes himself as "half-Italian and half-Irish"[237] and a "non-practising Catholic".[238] He is also a music fan who, not long after becoming prime minister, attended a Gang of Youths concert at the Enmore Theatre[239] and previously intervened as transport minister to save a Dolly Parton tour from bureaucratic red tape.[240] In 2013, he co-hosted a pre-election special of music program Rage and his song selection included the Pixies, the Pogues, the Smiths, the Triffids, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, Hunters & Collectors and Joy Division.[241][242] On 30 November 2023, Albanese posted his Spotify Wrapped to his Instagram story, indicating his top artists to be Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift, Hilltop Hoods, Bruce Springsteen, and Lily Allen.[citation needed]

Made me laugh how some of the sentiments about freedom of speech and the constitution wouldn't fly with leftists today, as well as how the punch line of his brave policy is climate change of all things. The cuts to the people in the audience looking shocked and awkward are so funny. Libtards really watched this and thought WAIT THAT'S ME I'M ALSO SILENT AND SPELLBOUND WATCHING A GUY GIVE A SPEECH IN THIS EXTREMELY BIASED POLITICAL FANFICTION!!



Not sure why he stole those lines only to deliver them with all the charisma of a high school English assignment. The talk show hosts did have to admit they liked the movie too.

I highly recommend reading The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson if you're of Aryan/Scandinavian descent.

Mockbusters are deceptive, but B-movies in general aren't -- they're just made on a low-cost and often high-volume basis. But neither explains elf media. Solondz and Harmony Korine might be elf auteurs, but they're not doing the same thing as the OP. Woody Allen is the model here; the dark matter of this sort of "art" is the social networking aspect. I doubt Allen's producers ever got a great monetary return on their investment, but they got to be part of Show Business. They got to fuck attractive women and feel like they were good people. There's a similar ecosystem of externally-funded literary fiction that no one ever reads but which produces a lot of academic sinecures, glamorous jobs, and exposure to younger women (this is in my opinion why the takeover of publishing companies by foids got so out of hand).

It's basically just Luxury Shitposting. The Jewish version of getting some gigachad dialogue about the Holocaust filmed and released to theaters. ("And then I stole the Chabad rabbi's television -- the shomrim tried to stop me but my Aryan dad just threw some change on the ground. They were mugged by niggers before they could make it back to the synagogue.") Will normies go to see it? Who cares! Also you got your dick sucked by whoever you hired to play the supporting actress.

I can recommend Elric of Melnibone. It is slightly confused due to Moorcock's liberal slant, but enjoyable nonetheless due to Elric being a quintessential Sensitive Young Man. The Melnibonean race is a cool portrayal of atavistic morality. This is the only Elric book that I have read, so I can't speak on the others.

Moorcock acknowledges the work of Bertolt Brecht, particularly Threepenny Novel and The Threepenny Opera, as "one of the chief influences" on the initial Elric sequence; he dedicated 1972's Elric of Melniboné to Brecht.[4][5] In the same dedication, he cited Poul Anderson's Three Hearts and Three Lions and Fletcher Pratt's The Well of the Unicorn as similarly influential texts. Moorcock has referred to Elric as a type of the "doomed hero", one of the oldest character-types in literature, akin to such hero-villains as Mervyn Peake's Steerpike in the Titus Groan trilogy, Poul Anderson's Scafloc in The Broken Sword, T. H. White's Lancelot in The Once and Future King, J. R. R. Tolkien's cursed hero Túrin Turambar, and Jane Gaskell's Zerd in The Serpent.[6] John Clute consiers Elric to be a deliberate parody of Robert E. Howard's Conan. [7]

The story of Kullervo from Finnish mythology[8] contains elements similar to Elric's story, such as a talking magic sword and fatal alienation of the hero from his family.[9][original research?] Besides Elric, Kullervo has been proposed as having influence on Poul Anderson's 1954 novel The Broken Sword,[citation needed] and J.R.R. Tolkien's Túrin Turambar. Moorcock has stated that "Anderson's a definite influence [on Elric], as stated. But oddly, the Kalevala was read to us at my boarding school when I was about seven", and "from a very early age I was reading Norse legends and any books I could find about Norse stories".[10] Moorcock in the same posting stated that "one thing I'm pretty sure of, I was not in any way directly influenced by Prof. T[olkien]".[11]

Elric's albinism appears influenced by Monsieur Zenith, an albino Sexton Blake villain whom Moorcock appreciated enough to write into later multiverse stories.[12] Moorcock read Zenith stories in his youth and has contributed to their later reprinting, remarking that it "took me forty years to find another copy of Zenith the Albino! In fact it was a friend who found it under lock and key and got a copy of it to Savoy who are, at last, about to reprint it! Why I have spent so much energy making public the evidence of my vast theft from Anthony Skene, I'm not entirely sure... ".[13] Moorcock later said: "As I've said in my introduction to Monsieur Zenith: The Albino, the Anthony Skene's character was a huge influence. For the rest of the character, his ambiguities in particular, I based him on myself at the age I was when I created Elric, which was 20".[14] The influence of Zenith on Elric is often cited in discussions of Zenith.[15]

Moorcock does not always surpass his predecessors. In particular, Poul Anderson is far superior (I recommended The Broken Sword earlier in this thread.

Elf media occasionally produces good content. The second season of The White Lotus is a good example. Or even the film Call Me By Your Name. While they use the language and symbols of the left “wine bar with gf”, they prize physical beauty firstly, and they embrace biological determinism. Morality in The White Lotus is post Christian, and embraces cruelty in the nietzschean sense.

"Are you aware that you just referred to two works created by homosexuals?"

To work this into a real point, I think the good Elf Media is stuff made by people who are incidental members of the coalition who might pay it a bit of lip service now and then while doing their own thing. Every cool Jew artist has something great on their wikipedia page if you ctrl+f 'Hitler'. To produce watchable movies today the elf coalition needs guys like White and Guadagnino who probably have a hell of a lot more in common with Peter Thiel than Sidney Lumet.

Are you talking about Elves, or... Dark Elves...?

I guess this is the next natural direction to take this thread. Does Dark Elf Media exist and if so what defines it?

When natural members of the coalition play against the current popular grain while not outright rebelling. Zack Snyder is too crass to be a dark elf (even if he's a better filmmaker and artist than most elves), but someone like Guadagnino strikes me as about the right balance. Other examples might be guys like Palahniuk, Ellis, and maybe for a more extreme case, we might say that whenever an elf writes something too real they're having a dark elf moment. Maybe we can also count someone like Robert Eggers if any of you want to insist, for trying to make Based A24 fodder. I don't like it, but there's something to be said for that.

We know that Moldbug has some rather unfortunate taste and seems weirdly bad at actually identifying what a superior successor culture could look like, but does anybody know what Thiel is into? Does he also believe in the De Vere Ball?

Of course you all know where I stand, I think America has produced great high popular culture just about all along only its been consistently betrayed and buried by corrupted elves at the top trying to force art as tonic poison on the people. And people already know this. Scarface exists and Americans love it more than anything else that came out in its time. Only question is, does Brian De Palma get to be a dark elf or are Italians not allowed in that particular country club? Of course chuds like Vincent Gallo need not even bother applying. But this is where the real art is.

God, I wish I could get Moldbug to talk about culture. I wish the constant string of podcasts and interviews wasn't a succession of fucking morons with no curiosity about anything. That stupid fat fuck Ethan Ralph got him talking about gamergate for about 20 seconds then said "but let's not get into that. Tell us, what is The Cathedral?". Almost put my fist through my screen before instead opting to close the window.

There’s a woman in the White Lotus who identifies as non-white and appeals to her boyfriend’s Asian-ness to gang up on the white people they socialize with. She’s the most insufferable person on screen. And her wokeness falls flat. I see this as the defining mark of the dark elf. Someone who can skewer biol-leftism without appealing to overt arguments, but instead presenting it as low status and uncool.

I think the formula for dark elfism is straightforward. 

1. All white cast.
2. If you have minorities, make them insufferable.

You're thinking too deeply, Guest-friend. The way I see it, such films are half-masturbatory self-congratulation, half status-seeking for a very narrow group of elite friends. He made that film to indulge his own ethno-narcissism and "fee-fees" and to impress his New York art scene friends. Nothing more. Hence why it's shit, because a person's childhood experience and the attached emotions is like their taste in exotic pornography: seemingly very interesting and important to them, but utterly boring and tiresome for just about everyone else. I would add that both actually do become interesting to others if there's murder involved.
