I’m going to pause…

…for at least a day before I post Part III of my reaction to Hazony’s work “The Challenge of Marxism.” As often happens, the thing just grew and grew and grew.
…grew and grew. Hmmm. Yes, please take the day off, Neo. It’s the weekend, and an x-tra day off With Sunday coming, too.
Here’s some much needed enlightened levity to share! Entertainment and considered anti-politically correct humour. We find both in two early ‘90s films, life today imitates older popular arts? Yes indeed.
Hollywood’s 20 year’s cycle of rebellious campus comedies from “Animal House” in the early 1970s forward to 1994s “P.C.U.” climaxes when the latter film unintentionally predicts our recent year’s SWJs grievance groups monstrous anti-social mayhem. Back then student PC protests became the academic‘s tools to divide the campus, when they strive to protest and morally police people and to shame and persecute nonconformists into submission.
And today, everywhere the sanctimonious SWJs live to politicise and prosecute private deviance through their puritanical fascist totalitarian powers, lusting for total control, it seems.
You think that long-winded over intellectualization ain’t a belly laugh of ridiculousness?
Then take in 20 minutes of this smart, satirical documentary’s revelations — which sets the old PCU against recent years campus protests — and I dare you not to belly laugh at least a couple of times!
“How the Movie PCU Predicted SJW’s”

(It’s actually 40 minutes long, in total. But the second 20 minute half was relegated to a “Remastered” 40 minute version after the first version was removed; just find the link below the video window, above, at YouTube.)
YMMV, but this is my third viewing and I’m still laughing out loud!
The original film “P.C.U.” in HD and free (no tricks!), is posted online here

Film fans will find John Favreau, David Spade, Jeremy Piven, Jake Busey (yeah, Gary’s son), and the legendary George Clinton starring or appearing here.
The chaser is a second feature on the politics of ”Demolition Man” (1993), an action genre picture laced with satire against PC ethical norms.
Demolition Man imagines a future SoCal in 2032 where crime and violence is neutered in a weaponless and ultra-polite SJW utopia…or is it? (Starring Sylvester Stallone/Wesley Snipes/Sandra Bullock.)
Human nature does a beat down on the behaviouralist social science engineering champions? How vicariously glorious!

Here’s your quiz topic, boys and girls, at least for those who care to play: which one is right? Which film more accurately defines our world today? And which one is the funnier one doing it?
What’s fun about pairing these two is how opposite the films and these documentary styles both are.
The first draws on Cheech and Chong doper humour, the post Alfred E Newman ”Mad Magazine” style that your mother warned you against because it might corrupt you. The second is far less laconic, and more the ”sociology of film” class approach.
So, it’s like “The Dude” (in “The Big Lebowski”), the stoner-libertarian, versus the British son of the nephew of William F. Buckley, Jr., giving us the articulate, definitive Talk. Thus, not only are the two films very opposite in comedic style, so are these respective info illuminating videos. Quite the pair(s).
Feel free to bookmark the links and take in some flix fun edutainment whenever you like. The substance is too timely. And this topic’s relevance may be with us until…2032! Woa – Ha Ha Ha!
PS: Don’t miss the awesome climax to the PCU documentary video at 36minutes: the “WE’RE NOT GONNA PROTEST!” protest — with students finally united against the Real abusive political authority, not the academic’s imaginary threats. Brilliant Truth-telling subversion.
