HOM:

Giving you something to read on the toilet since 2009.

"The mistake lies in seeing debate and discussion as secondary to the recovery of meaning. Rather, we should see them as primary: art and literature do not exist to be understood or appreciated, but to be discussed and argued over, to function as a focus for social dialogue. The discourse of literary or art criticism is not to recover meaning, but to create and contest it. Our primal scene should not be the solitary figure in the dark of the cinema but the group of friends arguing afterwards in the pub."
-Don Fowler (1996) "Even Better Than The Real Thing"

X-Men: First Class - Stephen


x-men: first class - i just watched it last night online -- holy shit, i think it totally redeems the franchise! brings to my mind questions of violence, autocracy/fascism, mutation as diversity, mutation as the good, thought/mind/ideas (culture) vs biology, governments especially their military industrial complexes as evil, but human nature to recapitulate these evils.
