Full disclosure: I watched Idiocracy with some more-or-less apolitical Hispanic people, and there wasn't much laughter in the room. Now, maybe I wouldn't have noticed so much if I'd watched the film alone, or with white or black people...
But the moron-future in this film looked, felt and sounded an awful lot like Tijuana/East LA.

― veryupsetmom (harbl), Thursday, 28 March 2013 00:15 (thirteen years ago)

this one is going to be a surprise, i can feel it

― j., Thursday, 25 April 2013 02:42 (thirteen years ago)

what did you go with?

― dylannn, Thursday, 25 April 2013 08:37 (thirteen years ago)

i forget what i voted for because it was a month ago but a quick browse of the front page has this:

http://lareviewofbooks.org/article.php?type=&id=1607&fulltext=1&media=

and i tried to click on a link to an essay about life of pi and it brought me to some sort of inner foyer page, where i had to find a second link.

also, floating, captioned but unexplained author portraits, including pico iyer.

i probably voted "it's free, what do you want."

i followed my heart

I didn't vote, I think; it's one of those bits of internet Literary culture that makes me feel bored and weary (see also: The Millions, Quarterly Conversation/Conversational Reading), tho' I know it's prob a good thing on the whole.
