[lbo-talk] The Occupy Movement as a Bad Zombie Movie

[c b]

Add to that the latest Batman movie in which the hazy villain Bane
releases all the prisoners from Gotham jails...weds them to the social
discontents and starts a mob-led revolution with echoes of French revo
terror. When Batman "dies," commissioner Gordon obligingly reads the
parting monolog of what's his name from "Tale of Two Cities," who
sacrifices himself in order to save the life of an aristocrat.

I don't know how many people know where the quote is from, but the
scene where the 'occupy' mob face off a police phalanx is
unmistakable. And you're supposed to cheer for the cops.

It was a tedious, tired, essentially fascist piece of crap, relieved
only by Anne Hathaway as eye candy; but, hey it's making hundreds of
millions, and possibly making terror more acceptable.

I don't know. Never liked the super-heroes. Just sayin.

CB: I've noted in the past that the name "Superman" of the comic book
super-hero, could have been derived from  the "Superman" of the
philosopher, Nietszche, who also inspired Hitler.
