"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Not necessarily. I think Roman kind of sucks. At least C.Q. did, in my opinion.

Sofia Coppola, Spike Jonze to Divorce

LOS ANGELES - Filmmakers Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze are splitting after four years of marriage.

Coppola, daughter of Oscar-winning director Francis Ford Coppola, filed divorce papers Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. She cited "irreconcilable differences" and said the couple separated in May. They have no children.

The couple reached the decision to divorce "with sadness," Coppola's publicist, Bumble Ward, said in a statement.

Coppola, 32, wrote and directed the recent "Lost in Translation," starring Bill Murray, and the 2000 drama, "The Virgin Suicides."

Jonze, 34, whose real name is Adam Spiegel, is the director of the 1999 cult classic "Being John Malkovich," and last year's "Adaptation."

That's somehow not surprising. From what I know about both of them, they wouldn't appear to have compatible or complementary personalities or sensibilities.

Really? What are they like?

I've read where people think Ribisi's character in Lost in Translation is supposed to be Spike Jonze and the ditzy blonde is Cameron Diaz (this is probably discussed elsewhere, no need for a redirect), but then Coppola denied this. Hmm...now I wonder.

I don't know what they're like or if that gossip could possibly be true, but their images and work tell me that Coppola is more cerebral, reserved, and sensitive, while Jonze is gregarious, extroverted, and prankish. That's all I meant.

Well, if I were twice my age I might go for Sofia. for now I'll just stick with an obsession over Scarlett moreso than Sofia. That'd be cool If I can meet either, though I'd be more anxious to meet Scarlett, sadly...though I think Sofia and I could have many an interesting conversation about...umm...y'know, film stuff. Whatever.

ono

Coppola is on the Leno late night rerun that's started, well, right about now.  If you get it, that is.  Heh.
