Tfw you are actually a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft
was it a lovecraftian thread?
Lovecraft is objectively shit. He's literally a meme author. Death Grips of literature.
Lovecraft was always a meme, only literal retards like his shitty work
kafka
I recommend Pacific Rim user. VERY lofecraftian with all the mindboggling deep sea monsters that you can'T ebem imagine!
Yea it sucks especially with October coming around. Normally I load up on horror kino to watch this time of year, and that includes lovecraftian horror movies. Now I can't even get real recommendations since I'll just get memed
STOP IT YOU GUYS
Look out for "The Untamed". Looks quite good.

This is the truth why we will never have a movie based on Lovecraft
Lovecraft was a white loser writer who wrote for low-quality magazines.
Nothing he wrote can be compared to works by modern authors.
The only fans of this mediocre are edgy and lonely semi-illiterate boys and racist right-wingers.
> He was a beta that in the whole life only managed to have sex with a woman, for pity.
> He was an affected racist, his hatred of minorities was a shame even at that time
> He was totally devoid of talent,skill and experience, his works were limited to a few pages without a deep narrative and really complex characters, all of them imitations of himself, an incapable, boring and pathetic white male
> It was too anglo, all his work is based on the limited spectrum of the life of an anglo-saxon man.
> Even though he was only focused on this limited racist expectation of an Anglo-Saxon, he was unable to create characters with whom we can identify with ourselves. Even if you are a descendant of Anglo-Saxons, you cannot identify with his racist and poorly educated characters.
> His scientific knowledge was pathetic even for works from the early 20th century. There would be great difficulty in adapting his lack of knowledge to intelligent content for modern audiences.
> Lack of economic and political knowledge. He flirts several times with eugenic and socialist conduct. Had he lived long enough, he would probably be an admirer of Hitler. This lack of knowledge in these issues makes their work become even more outdated and less complex.
> Total lack of subtexts. He probably did not even know what that word means. He also had an extraordinarily poor vocabulary.
that thing started over night
like what the hell happened? It was just kind of there one morning
In summary, Lovecraft is a lame """"""""""artist"""""""""", his work is incapable of captivating people endowed with education, imagination and taste.
Hollywood understands this and seeks to stay away from the pitiful quality and racism that the name Lovecraft is eternally bound.
Here is an example of the """"""""legacy"""""""" of Lovecraft
Literally all of this
Also an ugly motherfucker who hated himself
i told you to stop making your daily cthulhu wankfest posts but you didnt listen. you get what you deserve plebian.
I've been spamming Sup Forums with the ear shattering fart noise cthulu pasta for about a month straight because it turned out to be breddy gud bait to provoke the asspain of armchair lovecraft experts every single time
then after a few weeks more people started spamming and what began as cthulhuposting transformed into a generalized lovecraft mockery which is kind of funny, but I fear may have damaged lovecraft discussion on Sup Forums, which used to be fun, forever
name your 3 favorite books
how does it feel to be a winner?
Fuck off rebbit
Atlas Shrugged
A Tale of two Cities
Artemis Fowl series
(You)
>Its a Lovecraft and his best work, Call of Cthulu, are critically acclaimed and revered across the world so Sup Forums hates it episode
Yawn
indescribable horror.
>calls lovecraft a meme
>likes ayn rand and sci-fi tripe
KEK, too funny
Post Lovecraftian Sup Forums experiences.
Wait, when did Lovecraft adapt Harry Potter? Or is it fanfic?
>having favorite books
You read literature or you stay on goodreads kid
Don't pretend to be me, cunt.
>it's a horror pleb thinks he's ever read quality writing episode
i bet you voted for trump
Do you even know what "critically acclaimed" means? it means that it is appreciated by critics of literature. And it's not. Lovecraft is a joke in literary circles, his popularity comes from obese, neckbearded, uneducated autistic manchildren.
He was basically the capeshit of his day.
A lovecraft inspired series where a likable autist travels around 1900s New England and Europe seeing crazy paranormal shit. That would be cool.
hey buddy, it's pronounced Nyarlat-hotep, not Nyarla-thotep
This will never happen and you dont want it to, the void being memed as a cosmic horror was bad enough. People dont get lovecraft and will at best shrug off his legacy through simple means by saying he was racist.
Hollywood for that matter can never touch him because his inherent style invokes a slow sense of atmosphere which goes against the common trend of bombastic ghost house horror.
(You)
>People dont get lovecraft
yeah man his stories are just too deep and philosophically sophisticated (dude god's not real morty, the cosmos doesn't care about us, what if space squids weren't just a story lmao)
>you actually want a "lovecraftian" movie or television
You're not a fan then. You have no idea what you're talking about, his shit is unfilmable.
Also "Lovecraft fans" are literal plebs drawn to his writings by virtue of copyright being expired. Otherwise no one would know this fag in this day and age.
>it's all a big meme now
One unfunny faggot spamming his stupid shit is not a "big meme."
thank you
I was gonna look it up, but I thought it might be funnier if i wung it
>You can't enjoy things for style and subject matter alone
Fuck you plebs.
Sounds lovecraftian desu
>Admirer of Hitler
wtf I love Lovecraft now
t. minority who's jealous of the white man
>im a brainlet the post
It has nothing to do with his themes being deep although during his time lovecrafts ideas were nobel at best. It actually has to do with years of derelithian influence and the evolution of what would become pop lovecraft or the 'cthulhu mythos.' He real reason hollywood doesnt touch lovecraft is that his true strengths lie in giving character to bleak opressive environments more than the actual characters. Atmosphere mixed with the central anti anthropocentric subject matter meant to make the character question the thin permeating bubble that is our reality.
The reason echopraxia and saya no uta are considered lovecraftian is not becuase of the overuse of the word unfathomable and name drops of yog sothoth. Its more of because they deal with mankinds natural limitations and overal importance in a ln ever expanding universe we have yet to fully or possibly cant understand. This line of thinking is not something you can sell to the average movie goer.
>foreign cultures are scary!
>dude, muh fear of miscegenation
Lovecraft was a racist hack.
>I recieved a poor american public education and cannot identify basic tropes and metaphors even when theyre blindingling obvious
this thread is all one guy shitposting because he's mad someone was a racist
Just play Bloodborne.
Now even sneed is Lovecraftain.
>tfw you are actually a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft
This doesn't make ANY sense in modern time. What made his books scary and unsettling is pretty much accepted everyday knowledge these days. So unless you REALLY like reading retardedly long descriptions of random things, I don't see how anyone could be a fan
>you actually want a "lovecraftian" movie or television
this would literally be impossible, unless you mean "muh tentacles" in which case you've never even read a single book from him
>actually a fan of lovecraft
>post lememetentacles
No you aren't.
Alien is about the most lovecraftian movie to exist and it took one sequel to turn geiger creations into generic bug fodder.
>white boi so scared of niggas he started writing fanfiction
the shitposter of cuckporn of his time
I've read one of those books
Shit! My brain just unrolled itself.
This feeling bro.
The absolute state of Sup Forums. Do you enjoy being literal crybaby hipsters? Everything that is popular HAS to be shit, right? That or just butthurt black people that can't accept everyone was racist back then
>What made his books scary and unsettling is pretty much accepted everyday knowledge these days. So unless you REALLY like reading retardedly long descriptions of random things, I don't see how anyone could be a fan
ADD moron who thinks GoT is literature
>this would literally be impossible
Parroting moron who has never actually read Lovecraft.
Congratulations, you're the stupidest person I have found on the chans today.
try hard as fuck. go back to /lit/, no one cares here.
yea but at least he could write
>The sight of such endless avenues of fishy-eyed vacancy and death, and the thought of such linked infinities of black, brooding compartments given over to cobwebs and memories and the conqueror worm, start up vestigial fears and aversions that not even the stoutest philosophy can disperse.
>tfw i really want to post a thread asking for good kafkaesque movies but too afraid to get banned
>HE DIDN'T WRITE ABOUT DINDUS OR KID FUCKING IN SEWERS WHAT A HACK REEEEEE
the dilemma behind this post is literally rather kafkaesque
>you actually want a "lovecraftian" movie or television
Check out:
Absentia
AM1200
Europa Report
The Thing
I've also heard The Mist is good too
Don't lump in with Lovecraft with right wingers.
If you were a fan of Lovecraft, you'd realise his horror is only suited to the page.
>trying this hard
>Artemis Fowl
>series
The first one was excellent, yes, but after that only 4 and 5 come close to that kind of quality. I barely remember anything about 6 and 7.
b8
>the Iliad
good taste
>Herodotus
Oh look, it's another kid larping as a classical intellectual.
Does it get anymore lovecraftian than "Ghostbusters"? Not even memeing. It's got all the tropes associated with Lovecraft; professorial protagonists, sinister cults, a big world ending trans dimensional monster, everything!
Best Lovecraft Stories?
The Outsider
The Colour out of Space
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
The Rats in the Walls
At the Mountains of Madness
The Haunter of the Dark
>no Music of Erich Zann
>no Shadow over Innsmouth
pleb
mountains is overrated as shit. it's the quintessential "discovering the ancient ruins of aliens that used to live here millennia ago, oh god, the implications dude" HPL story, only ten times longer for no good reasons, it keeps repeating the punchlines that you've already read a dozen times, and it makes the whole thing tedious and annoying.
This board is full of sub 80 IQ shitstains and shills.
LEAVE THIS PLACE AND NEVER COME BACK
Colour out of Space
The Music of Erich Zann
Pickman's Model
The Outsider
The Whisperer in Darkness
Objective btw
Carpenter's apocalypse films are the closest we're ever gonna get to a good Lovecraft film. The Thing nails the atmosphere/tone of his works pretty well, not to mention the arctic setting.
t. Obese LARPer
Watch From Beyond nigga
Test
Del Toro would have had a female in the movie who falls in love with Cthulhu who is shoehorned in along with a hamfisted message about how mankind is more evil than the Old Ones.
Isn't the first Alien film inspired by the Mountains of Madness?
There are arguments that the story The Thing is based on was inspired by Mountains. They were published in the same magazine two years apart.
Is that Davy jonees?
Yeah Lovecraft shamelessly ripped off PotC
I would watch a lovecraftian movie directed by Michael Bay
lol
dude, sign me up for shadow over innsmouth by michael bay.
>these some kinda FISH PEOPLE?!
>Fish guts explode everywhere
>American Flags raised over the town
>U.S. Navy comes and fucks everything up
>A few racial stereotypes cleverly designed as ''fish people''
absolute baykino
>>He was a beta that in the whole life only managed to have sex with a woman, for pity.
So he's the only person in this thread who isn't a virgin.
