...I have no idea how this paper is going to turn out
Either way, I was amused.
Huh, I thought finding IJBMers on Google+ would be tricky, due to being forced to use your real name as username, but it turned out that it isn't.
Also I JUST finished my liveblog! Now, I have less than 4 hours to write a paper on this. I have no idea where to start
Seriously, all I can think of Karl Marx or Sigmund Freud thinking of this movie is, "...What?"
Really? I think they would both have a lot to say about it, on different levels. It would really hit home with Marx, who would see the machines' power generation as the ultimate evolution of capital being moved away from those who create it, and with their work being not only involuntary but entirely unknown.
Freud, on the other hand, would probably have a lot to say on the film's recurring riffs on "dreams", which could bring out some interesting tension narratively. He'd also home in on the images of rebirth when Neo's slid out of his pod (and maybe say the sentinels are phalluses with tentacles).
Personally I think there's more to be found in a Freudian analysis of the film, but it probably depends on what you're more interested in talking about.
And I'm going with Marx because even after two classes of Freud my brain only understands him as the, "You want to plough your parents" guy
Not yet, but I didn't search much, so I only found INUH (I think) and, through him, Juan. The latter is theoretically easy to find, but there are quite a lot of people named Juan Carlos. I'd like to mock him for it, but that would be hypocritical, since my name is incredibly common too.
Yeah, though at this point it's not unusual. I got up late enough today that I'm not even really that tired yet, and this is becoming normal for me.
Feels horrid, gentleman.
"Rape is one of the more difficult subjects to handle in a work of fiction, not least because (unlike, say, murde]) there is a chance that one of the work's readers has experienced this crime first-hand. For the most part, the tropes that have been collected here describe less sensitive and sometimes downright backwards depictions of rape. Despite the quote above, indices like this have been noted by non-tropers (along with the RaceTropes page) as examples of ways in which TV Tropes will benefit humankind by analyzing and cataloguing exactly how important topics are handled in pop culture today."
To say the least, that doesn't really work out in practice (like nearly everything about the site). Ties in with the rape as bad writing discussion earlier.
Who, where, when and how
Dust, I believe.
Welp, finally sent the laptop for repairment. I'm either getting a shiny new one or the old one with a new disk.
Also, finlly convinced my mom that buying stuff on the internet is not going to end up with some dude coming and stealing our whole account and then raping us or something
