Loving to hate things

Despite hating all of his movies, James Russell went to watch Soderbergh's remake of Solaris anyway.

I'd make some smart comment about why the hell he went to watch it if he knew he'd hate it, but the problem is, I'm kinda the same. Not where films are concerned, but I've done it for books (kept reading Eric Van Lustbader and Tom Clancy long after they went to shite), TV (I actually sat thru every episode of the second series of Phoenix) and newspapers.

Utimately, I think we enjoy hating things. Like Hugh Mackay.

An examination of leftism

Darn fine little essay. Loved this bit;

The story is always the same. First come the promises of utopia. Utopia is discribed as a blissful paradise of cascading happiness and worry-free living. When the 'utopia' does not arrive, people begin to ask if it is indeed coming. The questions embarrass the ‘national party’ and those who ask questions are labeled ‘refusers’ or ‘traitors’ and carted away to be ‘re-educated’.

People begin to leave 'utopia' forcing the state to build electric fences around the country to keep people from escaping the heavenly paradise that has been created for them.

Read the rest of it.
