Quote from: OnomatopoeiaThe protagonist being kind of an idiot without any vision other than "wanting to make films" (especially horror films -- feh) was really rather depressing.  It doesn't help that his short film, Coven, is kind of a mess, ...

You're not supposed to take it so seriously.  It's a comedy.  I thought that was pretty obvious.  Coven is not supposed to be good, and he's not supposed to have a vision or be a good filmmaker.  That's the point.

I personally thought Coven was much better than any student film I ever saw, and could hold its own among the few festival shorts I've seen.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.
