I’ve always wondered about the correlation between IQ and media preferences. If you asked someone what their 10 favorite movies are and then scored them based on sophistication, the scores would probably be positively correlated with IQ, though I doubt the correlation would be more than +0.5 since some smart people like dumb entertainment (The Jerry Springer show was popular among Oxford students) and a lot of other factors like nostalgia play a role.
You can probably infer a lot of other things from the top 10 list beyond just IQ, such as personality and even psychiatric conditions like autism, depression and schizophrenia.
Here’s my own top ten list:
1. Halloween (1978)
2. Friday the 13th (1980)
3. Carrie (1976)
4. The Sweet Hereafter (1997)
5. American Beauty (1999)
6. Silent Night Deadly Night (1984)
7. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
8. Creepshow (1982)
9. Quest for Fire (1981)
10. The Breakfast Club (1985)

Be interesting to see top 10s of a poll of liberals, cuckservatives, alt righters, marxists and libertarians.
Id say the libertarian one would be like animes list.
Cuckolds would have at least 1 magic negro biopic to prove theyre not racist.
Liberals would be forced to pick minority and homo movies ‘in solidarity’ with their false religious idols
Alt righters and marxists would be interesting ones chosen of free will.
Afro all contempt aside and dropping the hack routine what do you think of magic negro movies. Do you think theyre weird? Ive read articles by some blacks in the atlantic and nyt saying movies like that fetishize blacks or dont win enough oscars. Im just wondering what you actually think of these movies. I would guess about 90% of the people that watched moonlight were white retard liberals and maybe 5% black.
Imo blacks tend to like tyler perry and big mommas house a lot more than serious sjw movies like 120000 years a slave. I bet half of the blacks are genuinely confused at whats going on. Morgan freeman probably is amused people pay him to play god in movies.
Of course afto, who is mentally retarded, probably thinks all his successes come from himself and not jews fucking with peoples heads.
My dad might be retarded but he never did anything like bill gates or afros parents.
How many times did you wipe your father’s butt? I need that info for an upcoming biopic called A Failed Abortion.
^^^GO BACK TO HAITI^^^
Look, I already have a couple of scenes ready for the movie:
The schizo and his buddies:
The schizo at a party:
The schizo on vacation:
This is Oscar material for sure.
make one about having AIDS afro.
Oh wait, here’s a new scene!
JJ and Schizy meet at the eatery:
great comedy from 1984 Spinal Tap
“These go to 11”
my IQ is 155
The Big Lebowski is the only good of the coen bros.
the dude is an archetype.
way over jordan penisson’s head.
Why are you smearing Peterson? Because you’re a sociopath who feels no remorse for the harm you do to the reputation of public figures putting their face out on the front lines while you cowardly hide behind pseudonames?
Petersen never talks about racial stuff, always about gender… the softest of (((polemic))) today.
And when it’s about jews, he wrote that super stupid and absolutely suspicious reponse.
Santo please place off-topic comments in the open thread.

almost all my favs are from 1960 to 1981.
Apocalypse Now
Dr Strangelove
2001
Gates of Heaven (documentary)
The Hustler
Brideshead Revisited (1981)
War and Peace (1972) is second best of dozen hour adaptations.
same list as i have on this thread: https://pumpkinperson.com/2017/10/30/2001-a-space-odyssey/#comments
someone should make a book of ll my comments. it’s genius.
contrary to popular opinion sebastian and charles are not explicitly gay or bi, whereas anthony blanche is.
supposedly sebastian is based on hugh lygon, who was a sodomite as was his father.
according to the canuckistani wade davis…
at the same time sebastian and charles were at oxford, the old carthusian mallory was at cambridge and thought he was a homo for some other guy, did the deed and discovered he wasn’t. he did NOT like it.
mallory kinda looks like lenny baker, died from AIDS in 1982.
the point is that actually engaging in homosexual acts or just “entertaining” them was a thing at oxbridge at the time…and almost everyone outgrew it.
this was when oxbridge was all male AND all students came from all male BOARDING schools. their sexual appetite had no female outlet.
the idea of “homosexual” as something one just is, as identity, had not been invented.
in fact, if you’ve read the novel,…
only in one instance does waugh hint that sebastian is a homo.
when the canuckistani rex mottram (julia’s husband) suggests sebastian’s alcoholism be cured by a shrink who “also does sexual cases”.
”someone should make a book of ll my comments. it’s genius.”
catatonic psychotic…
the whole thing can be watched on youtube apparently.
the interesting thing about Brideshead is that the old rich IDLE family follows Cynicism yet doesn’t give away its wealth.
at the end of his life tolstoy felt this contradiction…and died in a train station.
at the end of the novel and its perfect adaptation one actually feels sorry for these people who have been given EVERYTHING.
it is tragic but true that thinking is a luxury.
the opposite of hating on the rich is NOT worshipping them.
there’s a via media, an aufhebung.
people differ in their abilities and motivation…this is fact.
that this difference is genetic is NOT fact.
and even if it were this would NOT justify the current level of inequality.
capitalists oppose eugenics…because it would invalidate their position.
fucking gorgeous…cinematography.
it just SNAPS!
i guess The Thin Red Line is the second best of the 90s.
its christ like hero reminds me of Stephen Karopczyc.
ebert and scorsese appeared together on best of the 90s.
ebert gave Goodfellas #3.
scorsese gave The Thin Red Line #2.
what makes a great work of pop culture is NOT just a matter of how great it is in itself.
it’s also a matter of its influence on pop culture…how great it is thought to be by “influencers”.
it’s also a matter of how long the savor lasts.
watching these movies for the first time one may be unimpressed…but they leave a mark…better first impressions don’t last.
THEY’RE WORTH WATCHING AGAIN!
by that standard, how could you leave Michael Jackson off the ‘great pop singers’ list? He’s had a yuge effect on modern music.
that’s New Orleans cosa nostra. the guys who (may have) whacked JFK…the oldest cosa nostra in the US.
but he wasn’t italian…and he was likely extorted…he was poor, but he had a talent…
for (the) numbers.
he was a genius.
invigilated.
not only by my mother, but bye her cousin who’s in Who’s Who for fluid dynamic, turned down a full professorship at stanford.
my 6’3″ grandfather goodfella is one very good reason why i will never be an HBD-er.
under better circumstances he would’ve won a nobel prize…no kidding.
the only great movie since 2000.
i couldn’t believe hollywood could make a movie so ADULT.
i was right. it was PUNISHED.
Budget $26 million[1]
Box office $14.8 million[1]

the location is IMPORTANT.
it’s CYNICAL.
difference in life expectancy between guadalcanal and the US is now only about 5 years.
alexander died at 32.
diogenes at 89.
just drop it motherfucker!
it’s easy!
a scene so GREAT, because it was so BAD!
bourdain killed himself?
very weird.
he seemed way too cynical to kill himself over a girl. and way too old. he was 61.
but it happens. women have no idea.

How the hell do you watch horror movies and go to sleep in peace? I’d love to watch more horror, but, I’d like to sleep well at night too.
2001 and American Beauty are borderline top 10 for me. A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket are both top 5. I love Kubrick. He might be the quintessential “big brain” director – even ahead of Nolan, whose movies are good but overrated and kind of pretentious imo.
Have you seen Ex Machina? That’s easily one of my favorites. Highly recommend.
