Slavoj Zizek on They Live (The Pervert's Guide to Ideology)

@Babymech

ok.let us examine your counterpoints.

1.yeah.i agree.i never saw him as anybody but roddy piper.
2.agreed.while long,it does wear the banner of awesome.zizek may possibly be guilty of over-analyzing,but his comparisons bear some consideration.i find them to be justified.
3.this point you make is an exercise in circular logic and actually makes zizecks point.
where do you get your ideology from?
do you even have an ideology?
what makes you so certain of your ideology?
it is the question that is the real truth.
4.dont really understand your outrage here.sarcasm?
zizeck is exercising the pedagogy of philosophy.
referencing the matrix and pointing out that the wachowski brothers were not the first ones to create a movie with heavy philosophical tones.
john carpenter did it in the 80's with "they live".
and the philosophy of both movies is not exactly new.unless you consider 150 years to be "new".

maybe you disagree with the questions?
or are uncomfortable with the answers?
seem awfully defensive about people asking questions.

Slavoj Zizek on They Live (The Pervert's Guide to Ideology)

Counterpoints:

1) The character's name is not John Nada, it's Rowdy Roddy Piper. Nobody who saw that movie thought of the character as 'John Nada'.
2) The fight sequence is 8-9 minutes because it's awesome.
3) You would have be spectacularly self-limiting to come so far as he does in his analysis of ideology and then pretend that any person's goal should be to "escape ideology" and get to "the truth," when in fact the only constructive thing to do is to take responsibility for your ideology, criticizing and defending it, and turning it into something useful.
4) GODDAMN I thought all you Matrix-referencing, sheeple-labeling, sophomoric soporifics died out already, what the hell.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm proud to have been a fan during the Golden Age of the WWF. It will never get any better than 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Randy 'Macho Man' Savage, The Iron Sheik, George the Animal Steele, Jimmy 'Mouth of the South' Hart, Mean Gene Oakerland and others.


They were defo legends, a little past my time, so maybe you'll accuse me of being too young, but......

Two words:

The Rock.

Nothing in the genre i have ever seen has come close to this man's ability to entertain me - and that's just through talking alone! I've never heard a crowd so mesmerised, so enchanted by a wrestler. He OWNS the crowd! THEY ARE CHANTING THE ROCK'S NAME!

The Top 100 Cheesiest Movie Quotes

AeroMechanical says...

I may have just missed it, but "They sucked his brains out." from Starship Troopers should surely be in there.

I will admit that the bubblegum quote should qualify as cheesy. Somehow though, Rowdy Roddy Piper just seems to makes it work. If, for instance, Arnold Schwarzenegger (hey... that's in my spellcheck!) had said it, I probably wouldn't stop laughing for a week, but in a mean way.
