Yeh you two fearless and admirable individuals once again leave no stone unturned in your latest chat . With cultural artefacts of indeterminate origin like the Goetia demons , i sometimes fret that they are shadow archetypal forms that may have been handed down in debased form , relics of much earlier and vanished human civilisations , the Babylonian , Sumerian , Hittite , Hyksos , who knows . Their charm may lie in part by the power that has been invested in them by worshippers during times now out of mine , so stumble into a Lions Den the unwary may .
I watched Tarantinos “Hateful Eight ” the other day and found it quite anachronistic . On one hand quite usually Oedipal and Gratuitous , on the other a quaint and faithful reporting of the existing culture in which Q finds himself , as a reporter and observer rather than a shaper of a particularly d crepit western civilisation . In some respects an intrepid expose of the rotten state of race relations in the United States , with open homage , comparison and curiosity paid to the apartheid southern hemisphere states of australia , south africa , as well as Nazi Germany . All carried out in a refreshingly non PC manner , which nonetheless manages to offend a lot of people , like all good art , though i agree there is a certain devil-may -care abrogration of responsibilty..
I feel we must consider ” A Serbian Film ” in terms of the context of diassociation discussed here , in light of the western inspired destruction of the balkan yugoslavia and the horrors visited by western state and non state actors which must inevitably poison the well of the homeland . Orgasming inside a freshly beheaded corpse is an entirely appropriate depiction of our culture ethos and time . Grotesquery personified . Behold Thanatos , the pale horse , his riders name was death , and drone bombing hell followed with them . Ala Bowies video “Tis A Pity She Was A Whore “
I am looking forward to Hateful 8, because I always enjoy QT’s set-ups, the long passages that precede the violence. Once the violence begins I lose interest. The last part of Django was appalling, aesthetically and otherwise. Yet it was a fine movie for the first two hours. I don’t think Quentin can reign in his own baser urges, which means he isn’t aware of how destructive they are: he is irresponsible towards his own transmission.
