But Triplets wasn't....!
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.

I'm jealous of you having Persona, SNT! I ordered my box weeks ago and it's taking its fucking sweet time arriving to me. I sent an impatient e-mail to my online shop today asking where the hell it is. This Bergman box has been one delay after another, and I'm about ready to stop tapping my foot and glancing at my watch and sighing loudly and start getting rude and aggressive.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"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."

Hahaha, don't worry, I'm so backed up on dvd watching, I won't get to it until next month anyway. You'll probably see it before me.



Where do you order from? Usually places are exceptionally quick, unless the case of this sort of thing, where there was a bizarre recall. Is it part of the box? Cos it seems here that it was being marketed as The Bergman box set, AND Persona on its own. Yet none of the other dvds on their own. I guess what I mean is that I haven't seen the box set here yet, so that's probably a pretty good reason why it's been slowed down for you.

Have you seen Persona before? If no, I envy your virgin eyes...

I'm really, really hoping it's not some horrible deal where Persona is part of the box (which it is) and then there's a "special" stand-alone version.  The one in the box better be the same as the one sold separately, or I'm gonna flip out.

Because the first time is the best time.

For movies, music, and books only, I mean. :)  Our wildly misleading adolescent imaginations simply do the opposite of preparing us for the realities of other kinds of first times...

Actually, for Godard movies, the 2nd-5th time is the best time.

I find that for a lot of music as well.
