Speaking of, much like his posts about Duke Nukem Forever whenever he leaves the movie forum he absolutely crushes it and him posting in the internet culture warrior thread is no exception.

Here's to the new us.
SMG makes some good posts but he also makes posts like this

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

The point of that line - "it was real enough for Georgie!" - is, of course, that Georgie's death wasn't real. The illusory bite was simply, merely, "real enough" to transport Georgie down into the watery realm.

"The hole in the wash basin thus functions as a secret passageway between the two totally disparate universes, the human one and the one of the fishes. This is true multiculturalism, this acknowledgement that the only way to pass to the Other's world is through what, in our world, appears as the poo poo exit, as the hole into the dark domain, excluded from our everyday reality, into which excrements disappear."
-Zizek

In other words, the bite is not real but Real:

"The Real is ... the hole itself, the gap which serves as the passage to a different ontological order - the topological hole or torsion which 'curves' the space of our reality so that we perceive/imagine excrements as disappearing into an alternative dimension".
-Zizek

Hence why the miniseries only shows the camera being pulled down, into an enormous mouth.

The main point here is that Georgie never died. Bill has actually killed his brother with the bolt pistol in order to do away with the guilt of losing him. The notion that this little kid isn't Georgie is only what Bill tells himself.

and its pretty understandable why people don't like him.

Narrator: The submarine Nautilus was convicted for subtempted murder and sentenced to twenty thousand leagues under the sea. Peter Madsen was found innocent of all charges and returned to a life at sea, never to be seen or heard from again.

without fail there is always someone who says something like this whenever SMG comes up in anything other than hagiographic terms

i always see the shrill hyperdefenders and never the kramerers and this, in fact, is why SMG owns

"Word is murder of a thing, not only in the elementary sense of implying its absence - by naming a thing, we treat it as absent, as dead, although it is still present - but above all in the sense of its radical dissection: the word 'quarters' the thing, it tears it out of the embedment in its concrete context, it treats its component parts as entities with an autonomous existence: we speak about color, form, shape, etc., as if they possessed self-sufficient being."

I wonder of there's a literary equivalent to that. Plenty of things in the modern day make jokes along the lines of "if you heard what I just said, get your ears checked because it's text" but I wonder of there was an actual piece of writing about the symbolic nature of writing similar to that painting.
