Good film, boring Marxists
Feb. 11th, 2005 10:58 pmArthur Miller? Oh, hell.
I went with K. and D. (don't you love this whole initial thing? I just don't want them to accidentally stumble upon my journal, as it is pretty much public knowledge, and get all pissy about me using their real names) to see this:
It's pretty much a Chavez propaganda film, so don't see it expecting "fair and balanced," but since I already harbour a massive crush on the guy, I thought it was really good. The screening was free, but we had to listen to over an hour of the most boring speeches by the Communist Party of Canada -- sorry, the Bolivarian Circle -- ever. No exaggeration. It was like Fidel's six-hour lectures without any of the charm. We amused ourselves by passing notes back and forth, just like in high school. (For those not in the know, K. is a high school friend of mine. We used to dress up like militiawomen in the Spanish Civil War. I'm not even kidding.)
( a warning to would-be vanguardists )
By the way, if you think this whole post was just a pointless and lame excuse for me to mention Chavez, you're completely right.
