It is funny. Very funny. Very very funny. But after a while it gets boring. Very boring. Very very boring. But then it gets funny again. Very funny. So funny that you have to laugh. This is what you do when things are funny, especially when they are very funny, not to mention when they are very very funny. I was laughing my pants off. If only the gorgeous girl sitting next to me had done that.

When you are invited to a party full of people you don’t know, at first you may feel a little lost. You may get yourself a drink to have something to hold onto while you look around for someone to talk to. You may listen in on some people having a conversation and then add a witty remark or you may catch up with another solitary person like yourself. Nice shirt. I love that colour of your dress. How’s the white/red wine? I’m surprised how many people showed up, it’s still quite early.

How should I integrate this into my sexuality?” If you want to fuck globalisation, technology and the neo-liberal rhetoric of the new left, you have to deconstruct the whole notion of sexuality and all that hetero or homosexual bullshit that comes with it. You are no longer fucking this or that or men or women: you are simply fucking. It’s an interesting thought put forth by the German director René Pollesch in his recent piece “Pablo in der Plusfiliale”.

Holland Animation Film festival 2008
As with every edition of the Holland Animation Film festival there were too many films. And also as with every edition the films ranged from hilarious, touching and stunning to boring, tedious and outright dreadful.
I'm a cyborg is yet another highly intelligent movie by Park Chan-wook. It's also a visual treat and in its own special way profoundly moving.
Supplementary material for my review of Gregory Clark: A Farewell to Alms; Paul Collier: The Bottom Billion; and Dani Rodrik: One Economics, Many Recipes.
