It's good that this guy identifies that the problems with the matrix movies are specifically bad writing and that the watchowski bros (FAGS) are fucking stupid. And they are bigtime POST MODERNISTS which explains why they are stupid as fuck.
Dude is a funny dude but he lays his cards down right at the beginning: he is an Aristotelian, which is as good as being openly religious as far as killing a conversation is concerned. He spouted some totally absurd sentence about a USEFUL AND PRAGMATIC PHILOSOPHY which made me lol especially as it was immediately followed by his espousal of Aristotelianism; it is like saying that there is no point in building anything but two-bedroom condo blocks, since that is the most useful kind of building.
The Wachafags are fags that are fags and this is distinctly because they're stupid. They are cultist faggots! They might as well have quadruple sex changes and give all their leftover money to Xenu because they are dumb and easily distracted by big words (those shiny objects cherished by the modern magpie: the TAG student.) But he fails totally to link the Matrix to postmodernism; all he can do is flash pictures of Baudrillard and bemoan the utter dumbness of that cunt at U of C Berkley. He even does this using someone else's words. He even uses The Judith Baker Quote which is presented to all kinds of students as an example of how not to write in the humanities; the book that quote is taken from is full of the like, including sentences even more impenetrable, and the only reason to pick that particular one is because it's the only one that you can know without having to read the book.
He is hoping that you'll go ahead with him and say Baudrillard = postmodernism and Matrix = Baudrillard hence Matrix = postmodernism; this is quite a lot like saying that all Pearl Jam is awesome because Pearl Jam = music and music = awesome. Unfortunately it's not true. There are fashions and trends and a lot of bullshit that fly around postmodernism from year to year and this is because it is a very current school of thought and there are not several thousand years worth of study and digestion of it sufficient to render out the emphereal from that which will be lastingly interesting.
Artistotelian Dude makes a huge huge huge huge giant huge philosophical mistake (BUT HE IS A FUCKING 3 YEAR PHILOSOPHY STUDENT?!) which is that he believes that anything he doesn't understand right away is stupid. That's cool and all, but did he believe it three years ago? Also, does this mean that fewer things are stupid when their observer is smart? Pomo philosophy ranges widely and can entail the lucid and scholarly genius of a Foucault as much as the spatterfarting irrelevance of a Zizek. To accuse it of being stupid en masse is to embrace the modus operandi of the most unlikable of its adherents: the fetishization of abstractions.
Philosophically he is totally bankrupt. He is much better as a movie reviewer. |
