One of my aphorisms that currently isn't making the cut in my siggy is: The problem with non-fiction is that there isn't enough truth in it.
 
Really making believe actual life is more than actually living with genetics eternally separated in their one time ancestral position alive now.

Called denial.

It's funny to know that virtually every person who ever wore a Che t-shirt would have been shot on sight by Che Guevara.

That is definitely a seminal film. It literally changed the agreement between directors and audiences on the matter of chronology. Films could not be shown in a manner that chopped up time before that - have you ever taken cognizance of that fact?

The film was closely followed by the movie Memento - which played with time even more liberally. The relative unknown who starred in that film, Guy Pearce, went on to play a major roll in L.A. Confidential. The effect Pulp Fiction had on how movies are made was staggering. As I say - it literally changed the conversation between the director and the audience. What it did was elevate the sophistication of audiences.
Yeah, Che would have been enraged by their cartoonish silliness.
Gael Garcia Bernal, one of my fav actors, plays young Che right
after he and his friend graduate medical school and embark on a 
glorious motorcycle adventure.  I watch it once every year.

It plays out like one of my college professors uses to spotlight
..."if you live in a poor country governed by savage fascism
accompanied by West neoliberalism....communism sounds pretty good"

Re: Pulp Fiction, you nailed it.  Memento was both fascinating
and frustrating.  Took me a few viewings.  I would add
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind as well as a Korean
film, Peppermint Candy and the GLORIOUS....RUN LOLA RUN!

A movie about the spies and the spied on in East Germany in the 1980s.

My #3 fav movie all time.  Drama category.

Have you seen Look Who's Back?

If not, ya gotta watch it on youtube. They re-do the hitler meme in brilliant fashion toward the end - I laughed until I was tired. 
 
When you complain, ur friends roll their eyes and ur enemies rejoice

"Because I SAY I am" is a todler's tantrum, not "science"

You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?

That’s pretty much how I always saw those third world “communist” countries.

Being ruled by a military junta and then being exploited for super cheap labor and commodities and then some IMF goons force your country into austerity coz your corrupt government took out loans…what passes as “communism” is obviously going to seem like an improvement even if it’s far from ideal.
