Zizek!

[sabotabby]

It was a slow day on the interwebs, so in lieu of doing something really productive, I took a long walk, did some laundry, and then watched Zizek! It was a terrifically entertaining movie but I still have some questions that will bother me until answered by the internets.

I forgot to do a question about whether The Fountainhead is really one of his top three favourite movies, but I think it's pretty clear he's trolling there.

P.S. Which one of you is perfecthamburge? S/he is too good to be true, and I need to know.

Yo, did you watch Zizek in The Examined Life? Did I not post about this? Anyway, if you go to the TVO site, they've posted the entire movie online. It's made by the same woman who made Zizek!, and on top of our favourite ubermensch, it also features Cornell West, Judith Butler, Peter Singer, Kwame Appiah and some other more or less known academic luminaries. Zizek's bit is about the environment, and he is going fabulously against the grain.

spingheel_jack: my Zizek picture beats your Zizek picture!

I haven't seen it.

I love his bit about Butler and the iced tea.

THANK YOU for this information. Examined Life came and went from theaters before I got the chance to see it. I was feeling very sad.

No problem! It's very well worth seeing. I've seen it at the Royal and right when I saw that TVO had funded it I knew that I had just wasted 10 bucks and that it would get broadcast sooner than later (we saw it again 2 weeks ago when TVO showed it). Just like how The Corporation was shown like within a month of being projected at the Bloor. (That time though is when the Bloor's ceiling came down, so I got a free-movie ticket out of it!)

Cornell West really rocks in there, moreso than Zizek.

It won't let me watch! It's not available "In [my] region!" (aka the USA?) Damn Canadians!
