Postmodern irony?

Hah - the LJ spellchecker just suggest "urinary" for "Irigaray"!

Postmodern mathematics

From some lecture note on Irigaray:

The phallogocentric system generates many binary oppositions; one of which is: penis/vagina/nothing/clitoris/labia

.Only a postmodernist could manage a five-way binary opposition. Maybe we should get these people to design CPUs.

Why can't anyone make a good Gibson film?

I started watching New Rose Hotel and switched off in boredom. The beginning looked promising, and I was thinking that at least it wouldn't be as bad as Johnny Mnemonic. But after a while, the low-budgetness of it started to become irritating. I mean, we're talking about a cyberpunk story about seducing a genetic wizard, and people in the hotel are still pushing the revolving doors! Sure, Willem Dafoe was good because he's always good, and the Italian chick had boobs that defied the laws of physics, but cyberpunk it was not.

If I ever become suddenly and obscenely rich, I will first satisfy my secret lusts by making humungous donations to organisations like Free Tibet, Mor Çatı and RAWA. Then I will commission a blockbuster film quadrilogy based on Gibson Neuromancer novels. I will be the head honcho artistic director. The Wachowski brothers will be the on-scene directors. James Cameron will produce. Ridley Scott will do the lighting. The special effects will be done by a bunch of no-name geeks and the biggest Beowulf cluster ever. Wade Davis will serve as consultant on Voodoo. faux_pas, after strenuous martial arts training, will be Molly. And it will kick ass.
