Shopping Mall Polytheism

[sus]

I'm very normal for the record. Everyone says so.

Hooters, the American “breastaurant”, known for its chicken wings and female waiting staff in skimpy nylon shorts and tight vests, is launching in the city centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. The experiment in the north-east of England may well prove to be the decisive test of the brand’s reach in Britain.

They couldn't possible have chosen a better test venue.

I think divorce has made me think more this way but I think anyone whose not like who I've met on dissensus , @sus @mvuent @Clinamenic @sufi @woops @kid charlemagne , should kill themselves. I think we've mastered reality

feel like this was an inspirational rallying cry of some kind but i don't quite know what it means

Can you give us some context? Have you watched this? Do you recommend it?

Or is this like when version posts a fulllength YouTube movie as his thread contribution despite having never watched it and having no clue whether it's good

A man's got to ask he's got to guard his time you know

@sus Yes I’ve watched it. Its a movie about the re-design of a shopping mall in Germany. I think its pretty entertaining. Here’s a clip, you decide whether you could stand an hour of it

The director Farocki’s also done one where he’s stitched together German television commercials from the 60s through the early 90s, like those Youtube compilations but years ahead of its time (released in 1993) and with a more considered montage. I knew about it but finally saw it the other night as someone’s finally uploaded it in full to the internet

there's a documentary, Secret Mall Apartment, out now about that group of artists who lived secretly in a mall

In 2003, a group of Rhode Island artists created a secret living space within a busy shopping mall and lived there off and on, undetected, for about four years.

The artists’ squatting was a statement. They hated the mall. By “living” there, without permission or anyone even noticing (the logistics of their apartment living are some of the most interesting parts of the movie) the artists attempt to domesticate and humanize this soulless shrine to consumerism foisted on them by city planners.

This is really interesting because their whole dilemma is over the POLYTHEIST aspect of the MALL

They are trying to make it MONOTHEIST. Single-themed. "Miami Vice." And then they have this conflict because the Greek restaurant needs columns and a Viennese cafe is its own separate aesthetic, etc etc
