simply: my love affair with distopia

alright im definitely going to expand this one out. i really love distopian fiction. all sorts. perhaps it, along with existentialism, define alot of what i'm about. ill take that somewhere later. i want to live in a cyberpunk. i want to be theo faron. maria is someone i could see myself settling down with. my arguments for euginics are based almost entirely on the rhetorical question of 'who wouldnt want jude law's genes?', V is someone i can relate to, shaun (of the dead) wasn't anyone i was laughing at, or even with, i watched that film 30 odd times because i wanted to be him. alphaville tore a hole in me. thx 1138 wasnt only his first, it was his best, i am one of the book people, i saw renaissance, and i liked it dammit, i was laughed at in elementary school when i did a book report on phillip k dick (perhaps i lacked foresight), 12 monkeys was good, but la jetee was better. i could go on, and i probably will. is it the attempt to re-humanise in the absence of? is it the outsider anti-hero? or is it because i am constantly frightened of the apocalypse and am obsessed with any potential cause of it, and treat distopian fiction as a case study in the same vein as a general treats a war game? its all about contingencies and reduncies, bitch. its probably some of all of these (and alot of the last). this will be expanded. im going to go read logan's run and listen to mogwai. because they go together like something and something.





i told my parents they should play this at my funeral if i died. they didnt believe me. i didnt either. i did justify that we never would have had the term 'minimalism' without him. it didnt sway them.
