What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

talking about films that make you depressed and feel like killing yourselves, i'd advise you to refrain from watching "Der Todesking" (The King of Death)

in four short vignettes, it aptly demonstrates how life is, well, actually really meaningless

I don't understand why anyone would write a story about rich "libertines" torturing and sexually molesting children for months before finally killing them, including their own daughters. And it's from 1785.

I guess Marquis de Sade was a real *******

what ever you are saying there....you are right.....Sade was a real (insert any foul word)....keep in mind what word is rooted in his name

but you cannot just dismiss his books as Sadistic pornography and this one in particular is really not written that way (or at least not so much in my opinion....Justine is much worse for that aspect) but the philosophy in his writing should not be ignored very few people have been willing to express mankind for what they are capable of and really grasp the concept of "will of power"....and the corruption in everyone's soul

and this book is a real joy to read while riding on public transportation

I tried this with Bataille's Story of the Eye but nobody said anything except some hipster dude who probably knew about it from that Of Montreal song.
