Whacking Permalink Archive 30-10-02 If you ever need proof of how socialist thinkers are sorry, humourless nerds with no life, check out the movie reviews section of the World Socialist Website, written by a group of reviewers who really need to get laid. Where else would a film reviewer discuss Reaganism in a Mulholland Drive review? There doesn't actually seem to be much about the actual movies, but there's certainly an abundance of painful agonized waffling about the the socialist spirit of humanity, warped by evil corporate conspiracies, and glossed over by the evil cabal of capitalist hollywood filmmakers. There is much outrage at every instance of a movie refusing to show the USA as the most evil country on earth. The attitude pervails of a general hatred of anything resembling entertainment, which is of course capitalist, corrupt and blinds us from those important "intellectual" artistic works just waiting to bore everybody stupid but which are good for us. Needless to say, one reviewer goes into a frothing hissy-fit over Animal Farm. And the essay on Lord of The Rings has to be the dullest piece of gibbering po-faced misery I've read in the movie journalism universe. Oh, and for some unintentional
laughs, check out the last paragraph in the
review of The Siege. The Good Doctor has
surpassed himself here. (The permalink doesn't work so look for the
post titled "Tackling the greens")
Dave Sims at Clubbeaux
has a wonderful before
and after pictorial. George Will pummels
European geopolitical hypocrisy. Superb.
This is, quite simply the best essay I have read in a long time. You need to read the whole thing, but here's a teaser..
