Twitter IS weird

Whatever meme who exists without my knowledge exists without my consent.
It would be such a testament to the terrifying charisma that The Judge possesses and the skill of McCarthy for being able to portray that to see people start going "literally me" over a child predator who may or may not be the actual devil solely because he gives powerful monologues that make some of the most wretched ideas sound logical.
And it’s a testament to the humanity the Child possesses because, though he’s not a hero or protagonist in any real way, he still possesses enough room for mercy in his heart to reject the Judge’s attempt to turn him into a spiritual son figure.
Even in a world of greed, mindless violence, and the eternal dance of the judge, the room for compassion and mercy in one boy’s heart still wasn’t fully extinguished.

I was on a boat on the Mekong in Laos with my girlfriend (who was an American lit major) and some people we'd met in Thailand. The trip was supposed to take 12 hours, but ended up lasting 4 nights and the best part of 5 days. Whilst our rations dwindled to spicy cup noodles, some weird Thai Pringles rip off, an unholy number of nasty Vietnamese cigarettes, increasingly warm Beerlao, and a couple of bottles of scotch, we passed the time playing cards, staring into the passing jungle, and taking turns reading my girlfriend's dog-eared copy of Blood Meridian. Mass-delirium brought on by sleep deprivation, hunger, and, let's face it, a constant state of mild intoxication, really amplified the effects of the book on a bunch of pretentious 20-something Arts students far from home. At some point it started to feel like we were traveling towards some Colonel Kurtz-type encounter with the Judge.
Wtf were y'all doing travelling the mekong outta curiosity lol

Wow, that is such a unique way to have read BMed and just really etched itself in your mind. I am envious!
so when did you propose?
Wendigoon putting this book on the spotlight was both a great and terrible action.
This is an already overrated sentiment.
It was just great. That’s it. More awareness is a good thing.
It was already an incredibly famous book. It's a book that's regularly taught in American Lit courses.
@@itsaUSBline yeah it's also considered to be one of the great writing achievements of the modern era. McCarthy has been revered for like 30 years now.
I'm tempted to ask youtube to take it down just so more easily inpresionable idiots with no personality stop ruining the book...cause all honesty Wendigoon doesn't need the money and I can this is gonna make the internet more shit.

Yeah, that's pretty accurate.

@@angkhoa1216Judge Holden DEEZ NUTZ!
I haven't read the book in awhile, but basically I remember two things:
- Vistas are described in 10,000 different ways that make you look at them fresh every time, that make them somehow both awe-inspiring and a reminder that you like the hares and the lizards will one day molder and in your putrefaction leave no trace upon this world to the utter disregard of any divine eye that may have once turned Its sights unto this blighted and dreary universe.
- Scalping a thousand people in order from least sympathetic to most sympathetic.
Is that what happened in the outhouse?
The judge, too. Pretty impressionable. Dancing naked and all.

Spoiler warnings.
Least sympathetic to most sympathetic? Seems like almost everyone being scalped is far more sympathetic when compared to the gang or the filibusters. Do you mean people who we would expect to be most relatable or sympathetic to gang as a whole?
If in reference to the latter, I did notice people saying the events show how ready thie gang members just become more more sociopathic and only about themselves as individuals. They'll refer to how the gang started with dehumanized natives, moved on to Mexicans and then to their own injured comrades, and other white Americans, but I think it's a bit of an oversimplification. They were always hints that this is just the way they were as men who seemed chained to this personification of violence and social Darwinism.
@@PrettyH8Mach1n3 I mean, about 50% of the way through they take the time to single out a toddler, make everyone coo over how cute the baby is, then scalp him too. So I wouldn't say it's a direct, linear approach to "least to most sympathetic"
Only the True Great American novel can cure him, so give him Green Eggs and Ham.

Some characters in books, movies, games, and other forms of media are just not meant to be impersonated by the people. They are meant to be a warning, a terrible display of how not to be a human.
Coincidentally, these characters are often the favorites of the internet.
This is because the internet media comprehension is pretty bad.
Also, you got to blame Hollywood a little for making villainous protagonists like Humbert Humbert more ‘likable’ for the audience.
Well that's the thing people like absurd characters they find them fun. Villains like joker, Johan, Darth Vader. U guys looks too deeply into this, it really isn't.
@@Elricsedricabsurd characters like Joker and Darth Vader are fine. It’s when people start idolizing realistic evil people that the problems arise.
@@bigoj7917*cough cough* Patrick Bateman *cough cough*
This is mainly due to the "Literally Me" crowd not reading the book
@@thenablade858No, just because people have a rebellious idolization for a character doesn't mean they don't understand that they're supposed to be bad. Sometimes just the awe of how horrifying someone is can sort of hypnotize people into a shocked sort of reverence, alongside people seeing basic similarities between individual parts of themselves and individual parts of the character. But regardless, it doesn't mean they don't understand the character's place, in fact you honestly shouldn't use condescension as a first resort against people you disagree with

@Dance Gregory Dance i dont know... i love Lewis' work, but im not sure he could have been the judge. A great bill cutting, a great lincoln... a great oil baron even... but the judge? I dont think anyone can play the judge. I think hes too... literary a character to be brought to life on screen. I get why this boom was/should never be a film. Its written too visually, too emotionally... too interpretively. You get to choose if the judge truly revels in his words with zeal and emotion, or if he speaks them with cold calculating logic... or if he changes it up, you pick when. To give an actor that task would be too much, because it would yield too little.

The viewers filed in out of the dusty stillness of the warm evening to watch the man carry his thing, like wayward supplicants prostrating themselves before the altar of some familiar yet distant deity. The man's words simultaneously offered comfort and estrangement. The bitter fruits of an unknowable lecturer.
I got stranded once while camping due to an flash flood caused by unexpected torrential rain. I was there for 11 days longer than I meant to be. I had only Blood Meridian to read as someone had told me it was the kind of rollicking Western I liked to read whilst camping. They lied. Over and over I read it. I don’t think I was very well when I finally got home.

This has been on my bookshelf for years. It seems so daunting.
Read it but don’t read it during a low point in your life.
Why does it seem so daunting? I remember at 18, being a high school dropout, working a dead end job and trying to read Ulysses and it took me a year. Oddly, I didn’t see it as daunting at all. But 20 years later despite being more knowledgeable I wonder at my mental stamina at the time and the foresight to l read multiple companion pieces alongside the novel. Is Blood Meridian anything like that?
Honestly dude it's not difficult to read, it's just relentlessly dark and violent. But it's also just very fun and the writing pulls you along because it's so good. You'll come across english and spanish that you don't understand but the gist and the tone is always apparent.
It's just hard because of the lack of attribution. It's not too difficult
Read it.

"Twitter is weird"
Best solution to deal with Twitter : dont use it at all, save your sanity
I'll be honest, there was the briefest moment where I actually bought into the 'war is god' monologue. I thought, 'y'know that makes sense'. Then I started living in reality again.
I mean. It kind of is from a historical perspective, or maybe more accurately in its sheer cruel profitability and the way it forces technological progress. However this is something humanity should strive to overcome. 😅😅😅
But it's not wrong in a metaphysical sense. Of course If you think that the fundamental conflict of existence is the problem of difference and duality, the issue that's been in play since creation. War is man's way of manifesting that conflict in our own way. It's our way, in a fucked up irony, of reaching towards the divine...almost in the same way art does...but for completely different reasons

If it ever gets adapted, get Robert Eggers to do it. That's all.
it’s funny seeing someone else say this because as i’ve been reading the book and especially in reading the infamous dancing and “he says he will never die” bit i totally envisioned an eggerian shot of the judge dancing in the dark accompanied with a low orchestral drone as the only source of sound
isn't it a joy when a book sparks such enthusiasm in you?
''if something exists without my knowledge, it's actually because I'm a fucking moron''
Honestly after the 5 hour video essay I want to read it too
Never forget that Cormac McCarthy did LSD while it was still legal in the early to mid-60's and then wrote a dozen books about incest, rape, pedophilia, murder and living in a Godless universe where the only certainty is death, so never forget that there's always drugs if you're looking for inspiration!
“Anything that exists in this world without my knowledge does so without my consent!”
Yeah…I just finished Blood Meridian…after letting it age on the bookshelf for fourteen years!
Might as well say, “Whatever I haven’t read yet is still on my to-do list!”
Tried reading it last year and had to stop. Not because of how harrowing it was or how violent. I’m just a fucking idiot who got a quarter way through and realised I wasn’t even paying attention. Will get back to it once I start reading again.

Thanks again!
@@davidcatlett4052 The Road was awesome! Took me a while to get used to the odd writing style, but once I did, it was a damn good read!
Hot take: I hope nobody makes a movie/series out of this book.
The book is beautifully written and the scene's are very detailed as if you are reading and watching a movie in your head. Also not to mention this book is filled with very brutal scenes and racial slurs so if the book ever gets adapted to a movie then we all know the movie will be a watered down version of the book.
@@uberfeel Movies always are. One thing I've learned, if you'll pardon me, from being a cinephile and a bibliophile (though sadly I've seen numerous more movies then I've read books) is that movies are summaries intended to get you interested in the source material. Very few movies (comparatively) are made out of original ideas and most are adapted from much longer source material. But hey, they are almost a quality of their own! Take, for example, The Lord of The Rings. The movie trilogy fails to capture the original ethos of the book for most people (myself included), but as far as being faithful to the source material and to get people inspired to delve into Tolkien's world, I dare you to find a cinematic adaptation with more impact. As I read once, "They are masterpieces in their own right."
I loved when Man mentionned himself by saying "Man and War"

My favourite part of the book was when the Judge said "its judging time" then judged everywhere
Before man carrying things was, youtube skits waited for him, the ultimate meme format awaiting its ultimate creator
The man carried the thing like an acolyte upon some task of heathen means trudging through the ash of the smitten dawn with its apocalyptic glare and on his penance he spied cadavers slithering within the murk aside the road and he carried the thing towards the steeple of the church and the sky hung close around it, the cosmos watching as the man carried the thing.
and the two halves of man carrying thing have been married in the most beautiful fashion. combining literary insight with goofy shorts. and god smiled upon us this day
I've been watching, pausing and rewinding this video for half an hour now. Let's say I learned some new words today.

"[...] And if the dried and blackened shell of him is found among sands by travelers to come yet who can discover the engine of his ruin?"

You what the audiobook? Also BM, like Kesey's Sometimes a Great Notion, is largely about the nature of men, so I don't really see the point of reading a book you can never fully understand but you do you I guess
Now I know I'm a boomer. Started watching Wendigoon video, paused 10 mins in, ordered the book on Amazon. Did you know they sell other things besides books now?
@@thegercast4794 You read with your eyes, not your ears. It's not a boomer thing.

Finished blood meridian yesterday, can't say I enjoyed it as much as I thought I would. Love the timing of this video though
