I've always seen fantasy, sci-fi, and horror as being sister genres myself, there's a ton of overlapping between the three, but after reading the LOTR books and seeing the animated flick numerous times when I was kid a I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it being labeled sci-fi.

Disclaimer: I have to admit that I've only seen bits and pieces of Jackson's films, I just haven't had any interest in them. So, if it's only the recent trilogy that being called sci-fi I'll shut up on the subject because I'd be talking out my ass.

This is bc the mouth is considered an erogenous zone. He also leads us to assume that children withold their feces as long as possible bc they experience sexual pleasure from taking a dump. We don't remember this bc we've been taught since early childhood to repress our sexual tendencies.

Thoughts?

Freud's initial findings on why women were often so called "hysterical" and "neurotic" in those days was that they had experienced sexual abuse at some stage in their lives.

Upon presenting these facts to his peers, he got laughed at, ridiculed and the like.

Quicksmart, he replaced his initial findings with the convoluted theories of oral fixation, anal stages, women being jealous of their dad's dicks, etc, etc, etc.

He saved his arse and sold out on his original findings. And sold out on women too.

It should not be surprising that it has become attached to Nazi symbolism in recent years. Never before was the relation of masters and slaves so consciously aestheticized.

Sade had to make up his theater of punishment and delight from scratch, improvising the decor and costumes and blasphemous rites. Now there is a master scenario available to everyone. The color is black, the material is leather, the seduction is beauty, the justification is honesty, the aim is ecstasy, the fantasy is death.

This quote is somewhat out of context and as I haven't read Susan Sontag's book, I'm not sure what she was getting at.

But it's a helluva jump to go from something that is purely sexual (according to her) and Nazi's and Fascism. Huge irrational leap there with nothing concrete to connect the two.

There's a lot of activity, though, I can say that.

I think the layout is too clunky on there, not to mention that the use of emoticon on there is utterly ridiculous...

I also dislike the fact that you can pay for perks on UHM but that's just me...
