horseshoe i want u to know that this thread was also partially inspired by that "high schoolers favorite books" thread or whatever where u came in swinging ready to defend your favorite books to the death--i admire that very much

Durgnat's socio-political approach - strongly supportive of the working classes and, almost as a direct result of this, American popular culture, and dismissive of Left-wing intellectuals who he accused of actually being petit-bourgeois conservatives in disguise, and dismissive of overt politicisation of film criticism, refusing to bring his own Left-wing views overtly into his writings on film - can best be described as "radical populist".
ha ha this doesnt remind me of anyone on ilx at all.......

i srsly think one of the things that influenced me being this way about things/people i like is that scene in manhattan where diane keaton and that awful dude are making fun of, like, f scott fitzgerald and other awesome people and woody allen's character is like, "yeah and how about mozart and shakespeare? all of those people you just named are great." it's so true!

i like this thread but i don't like the idea that attaching myself to something as family implies that i'm going to lock my girlfriend in my trunk

i dont know that i would really kill my girlfriend over my borges standom but im not going to make any promises at this point

me not being able to fathom why anyone would be put in a situation where they have to defend borges probably means I am a huge borg stan

re: jlb the collected fictions book is not a very good translation imo. i got more out of the di giovanni translations which are pretty easy to find in smaller collections like labyrinths, fictions/ficciones, etc.

Big Stan is a comedy film directed by and starring Rob Schneider. Although released in some overseas markets during the fall of 2008, it is slated for U.S. release in early 2009. On the radio show Loveline, Schneider stated that this film will be an "anti-man raping" film — referring to prison rape.
― velko, Thursday, 22 January 2009 01:47 (fifteen years ago) link
So it's not about raping anti-men? Because I was confused.
