I wasn't clever enough to say anything funny about it, but at least we now have a literary in-joke way to point out when the thread has gone to poo poo.

It's from that scene in Independence Day except they photoshopped out the spaceship.

I bet they didn't follow the plot of the 1988 game at all.

Nooo don't do it, this is apparently the only place on the internet where I can ask for recommendations of good lit and not have anyone suggest anything by Ayn Rand!

If you cannot recite your complete stable of critical influences when challenged you are a fraud imho

Tell me some of yours and I'll read a few and tell you what's up. I bought Mythologies by Barthes when it was discussed. I stopped going to college because doing drugs on the beach and having sex were way more fun, and all my professors were idiots that wanted me to read Ayn Rand's Anthem or some other poo poo.

You caught me, I'm not much of a reader of the critical theorists. I am, however, a reader of books, and if that makes me a fraud in your eyes then I can't change that. What I will say, though, is that I'm glad I've stayed far away from the theory if this is where it gets you. It's a sad, cynical approach to the novel. It's about fracturing, setting up boundaries, saying you can only look over the fence but never really climb it. Had to catch myself from crying a bit at Lincoln in the Bardo on the CTA today. Embarrassing, really, when it's just about some dumb dead rich kid and his stupid grieving privileged father. Can't believe I let my guard down. Hopefully next time I'll stop myself before I actually feel something for the wrong people in a book.
