Went and read the Emily Wilson review of the film in the LRB, and the notion that she's on the side of the Nazis is wildly off. Her criticisms of the film are pretty sound. There's a paragraph at the end summarizing:
Admirable directness in Spain. Here's a section of Sitges (near Barcelona). Bukkake Cruise Club, El Horno, Man Bar, Bears Bar, Scandal Night Club all cheek by jowl.
The worst business in the history of business (and even this is based on a highly optimistic assumtion of 75% gross margin on their tokens). These pricks are in the red on bugger all usage. But hey, let's fleece those retirement funds before it's too late (IPO)!
Another for the "fuck that 'never again' bullshit, we're all in on "hey, it would have been better to be _that_ guy, you slobs'" file.
Some upside to the shithouse quality test cricket we’ve had this summer (one innings excepted).
The psychology of gun ownership is closely related to the psychology of car obsession. A machine makes you feel strong an invulnerable and whole, when deep down you know you just might be a hopeless piece of shit.
