Putney Swope

Saw Putney Swope (Thanks, Nina Parzr!) It was interesting and surreal. It left me with a feeling of exhaustion as many surreal films do. The film attacked the by-now hoary bugaboos of the military-industrial complex and corporate greed. There's a lot of (I hope) ironic super-racism and reverse-racism. I loved the advertisements. They're fun and grotesque and wry. Like the fake ads in robo-cop, but not as obvious. Nicely done. I think I didn't 'feel' this one correctly, but it was interesting nonetheless.
