hes the most english looking person imaginable.

 

[Corpsey]

Parents both English but beyond that it's a predictable (?) mixture of Scottish, Irish and Welsh.

Anyone have any Zizek books to recommend? I haven't tried any.

 

[luka]

They're all the same he just repeats the same four or five jokes so just pick any title at random

 

[constant escape]

My fear precisely.

 

[luka]

Well if it's the first one you've ever read it shouldn't be an issue

 

[constant escape]

I guess this is a more apt question: any I should read that cover material that his talks don't go as deep into?

 

[constant escape]

I guess I'm not sure what I'm asking anymore. You pretty much answered it.

Maybe check his two films 'The Perverts Guide To...' as good an intro as any

 

[constant escape]

I've been meaning to see those - you remember where you saw them?

I just watched the documentary Zizek! by Astra Taylor, which I loved.

 

[pattycakes_]

Just had a Google and it looks like they're on vimeo. Youtube's introverted but much cooler cousin.

 

[constant escape]

In the middle of this one now, which I hadn't heard of. Looks like I can get a double/triple bill lined up one of these days.

Anyway, thank you for pointing me that way. I'm sure I don't give Vimeo enough credit.

- started this the other day. It's a bit dull thus far.

 

[Corpsey]

I hardly read now. My natural reading time used to be when I was commuting. Now whenever I have time to read it's instantly competing with my PS4.

That's because surfers are the biggest dullards in the world. I really related to Tarantino when he was talking about Big Wednesday and said, "I grew up around surfers. Surfers are jerks. Surfers don't deserve this movie."

Stop harshing my buzz man

I get the impression the general dislike of her due to her comments on the trans community have prompted a bunch of people to read everything that seems a little off in her work as malicious.

She’s doubling down, tho. Respect. Women fought for a century to ensure the rights they hold now. And these “ once were men” trans are reducing her to “ people who menstruate”. And if you disagree? You’re career, reputation is gone in seconds This is about much more than trans rights. This is important !!
