and those people are idiots. wagner was a documented anti-semite, but just about everybody in Europe was. his music was revolutionary and brilliant, despite his poor choice of hegemonic bigotry.
sigh.

normally I agree with you guys but this time I feel like the review was a bit over the top.
It was esoteric and reviewed in an indie vacuum. :(

ah well that makes more sense now. Good track all in all - as a historian who hasn't read the book the reference was lost on me.

Isn't this amazingly condescending? While I know that such things are silly, saying that people should in some way grow out of their tacky childhood loves (enjoying Back to the Future too much) seems, in comparison, pretty tacky.
If anything this product is a shitty piece of (tacky) art that probably helps out a number of different industries and employs at least one artist. The product might suck when looked at by over-educated art critics like you and me, but it's no worse than a supposed "authentic artist" working so the he can pay for expensive positional goods like his studio apartment. By this logic we should stop supporting artists and, by proxy, send all of the retarded sums of money spent at black tie auctions to Darfur and not artists.
The latter I think everybody can agree with, the former not so much.

Well just look to Canada for an argument in support of Gay Marriage. Seems to work fine up here. No social disorder, and I'm pretty sure conservatives are getting along just fine knowing that their marriage means as much as the one between the two gay folk.

what's sad is that those people graduate high school, start wearing fedoras, and argue about the initiative roll in D&D they just made at surprisingly high volumes in common areas at my University.
Also, they take Sci-Fi film and think it's all going to be like Star Trek. WHAT'S THIS? FORBIDDEN PLANET? WHY ISN'T LESLIE NIELSON FUNNY???

I liked them - but yes if we are talking about something like this they might have wanted to dial it back a bit.

This show kinda reminds me of Canada's very lame Keys to the VIP except worse...
though check it out if you want a show that is nothing but an advertisement for men viewing women as objects.
in a sad sad way.

In that book/movie the rich British kid, who's living in Shanghai, gets a reality check when Japan, who were occupying China at the time, declare war against the US and allies (WWII). It's tied into the Second Sino-Japanese War, etc.
