ink_splotchQuick update before I wander off to do a fourty minute poetry analysis (fourty minutes! what are you, UCL, high?). At least the book reviews are done - I have once again managed to write something personal, without ever using the word 'I'. Because I was brainwashed in the US to never, ever use 'I' in school work, and as a consequence, I don't. Ever. Even when writing Danish essays which are supposed to be personal, I cannot use the word I (or, rather jeg/mig. Because I don't write Danish essays in English. Obviously). The personal pronoun in school work gives me connipition fits. I wonder if that makes it a phobia?
Anyway, one of the most awesome articles about Hollywood and the Oscars ever:
-- I'm sorry, I just want to chime in here. Are you trying to play that McCarthy was just a well-meaning Senator who's just now being maligned by revisionist liberals, and that his vicious drunken smear tactics, abuse of his office and treason-mongering are only being made subject of the film because he's Republican? Seriously, you want to live in that camp? ... oooookay. Just checking.
A response to everyone and their mother accusing the Academy favouring "indie" movies, with liberal agendas. The whole thing is hilarious, but that paragraph had me laughing my ass off.
And now I scuttle back to my English work. I still say you can't do an acceptable poetry analysis in fourty minutes, though.
