but i think that faludi in conjunction with american beauty and fight club is great. i went out and saw them just so we could talk about them at pulp/. [very much for you peter kilander coz i *never* ever spend cold cash for full price viewing. nor do i encourage others to do so.] several people have bleeped in on an interest in discussing it but are afraid to because they don't want to spoil it for other.s
btw, wasn't there a discusion of the matrix on this list a few months ago? i finally saw it and was curious what people thought
tell you the truth, i had a really hard time watching it the first time around. sickened me. something about the eroticization of the guns. aack
i suppose they managed to capture the vid game experience. dunno coz i don't play them. watch my son play sometimes, but i don't. coz i'm an addict. or rather, i know i could be one. when i first got danny a nintendo--way after any of his friends had one--it was the winter break after my first semester in grad school so i worked the trauma of that experience out by spending the four days after christmas with my tail parked in front of the television playing mario bros. i never even got out of the jammies. just changed into various kinds of jammies, eating christmas cookies and drinking coffee. hubbie got home from work, told him that tuna sandwiches were in the fridge i've got a game to beat damn it. i was damn pissed that my 7 yr old could play better than me! but i got myself off it cold turkey a month later and have never gone back since. i'm afraid to.
