Zizek! the movie.

Slavoj Zizek on Toilet 

I was made aware that the Whitecliffe library had just purchased a copy of the 2005 Documentary Zizek! So I was set upon seeing it before leaving, as i would be losing direct access to it. http://www.zizekthemovie.com/
Parts I particularly like are: When he speaks about telling someone you love them and how we always distance ourselves within the process, whereas the ancients would have said it and meant it. so he purposed that it is us who really believe its excessive meaning, i guess thats irony. 
Also when he uses the example of an old fashion totalitarian father telling his kid that they have to see their grandma on sunday, whereas the tolerant postmodern father would say something like "you know how much your grandmother loves you, nether the less you should only go see her if you really want to. This statement contains a more powerful form of control, because now the kid knows they have to go but also like it. Zizek states this is the same within out current culture of tolerance and understanding, calling it dishonest. 
Within the intro there is his comment: "theology doesn't solve problems, it redefines them." I like this as it is the same with everything. This past year i have been stuck on Resignification. 
He also picks up a Copy of the film Being there with Peter Sellers, its one of my favs!
