I was reading this amazing article at marxist.com, then I realized that I wrote it.

Attention Reno Fans! November 6, 2005
(that means Amy, Amber, Justin)
Author Daniel H. Wilson told SCI FI Wire that his first book, How to
Survive a Robot Uprising, has already been optioned for a movie,
though it doesn’t even hit stores until Nov. 7. “My film agent
approached Michael DeLuca Productions,” Wilson said in an interview. “
It turns out that they love robots. And who doesn’t love robots?” A
film treatment based on the book has already been written by Thomas
Lennon and Ben Garant (Comedy Central’s Reno 911).

General Strike Begins in British Columbia
http://www.marxist.com/general-strike-begins-bc171005.htm
In a matter of days, all of the contradictions that have been building
over the last four years in British Columbia have come to the fore. Gordon
Campbell’s mis-named Liberals have spent their time in power attacking the
working class. This has been met with several waves of unrest. Now this
battle is reaching new heights. The province stands on the brink of an
all-out general strike.
How’d I miss this one? October 5, 2005
This is one of the best articles on art I’ve read in a while. One of the few Alan Woods articles where he starts talking about one thing (Breton) then goes off on a tangent (to surrealism, then to marxism/art).
Surrealism expresses a contradictory (illogical) view of reality. It seeks to express the element of violence and savagery that lurks underneath the thin veneer of bourgeois civilization. The polite manners and “good taste” of bourgeois society is really just a façade that conceals the most terrible suffering, exploitation and repression. Surrealism tears aside the veil of polite hypocrisy and reveals the ugly and repulsive reality that lies behind it.
Paradoxically, the man whose name is most frequently associated with this revolutionary school, Salvador Dali, was a servile defender of the status quo, politically right wing, an admirer of Hitler and Franco, a monarchist and a lackey of the wealthy establishment. Luis Bunuel, by contrast, was a genuine revolutionary. He was sacked for making an atheist film, from which Dali typically disassociated himself, for which Bunuel rewarded him with his fists.

Motherfucker, that’s a good idea for a movie and I’m shocked I didn’t think of it.
theremin_ discovered these sweet cards:
If you’re still counting my raises, I have yet to get the first .5 raise, but I got 2 other raises for .5 each. And I might still get that other one for the position change. I’m on my way to nickersons.
Worth reposting. September 12, 2005
I don’t know why you’d read the 4, except maybe for nostalgia. My personal favs are anything by Clowes, Tomine, Alan Moore, that sandman guy, Frank Miller, yeah…. I like the good stuff, but not until cool people tell me what to get.
I checked in, and now I can’t check out……….. September 12, 2005
I love Pere Ubu. That’s what makes me more of an art punk fuck than both burningwheel and imperialshotgun put together. The only other person I imagine cool enough on my friendslist to actually enjoy Pere Ubu is possibly outofthenight and definately dizthewonderkid (duh).
