On the Media(Arts/Entertainment)
Friday links list again ...
The final episode of Fatherland is up, so you can now listen to all five. The end here is something really special (if chilling), but of course you really need to get through everything leading up to it for the full effect. It's an uncommon but remarkable thing to make the journey with some characters who discover something you've always known – it makes it new again, in a way, and gives you a whole different perspective.
The requisite Day 6 link takes you to an episode that's a couple of weeks old now, but I link to it mainly for the interview with Slavoj Zizek, which, no matter what you think on the topics discussed, is very interesting. And he has a theory that the Avengers are exemplary Marxist entertainment. Good times!
If you are within reach of LA and are looking for something AWESOME to do tomorrow, the Independent Shakespeare Company is putting on a benefit performance to fund their FREE summer festival. The show is As You Like It, it's at 4pm (preceded by two hours of bonus entertainment from various arts groups and a small circus troupe), at the Old Zoo in Griffith Park, and you can get tickets HERE. Or, if last-minute awesomeness is more your thing, they will be selling tickets at the "door."
And if you're not in LA, or are but are unable to come, and like the idea of free awesome theatre for all, many people would be very grateful for a contribution to the ISC's Kickstarter campaign – on that page you can see 1. a video of them being awesome and 2. a wide range of random strangers testifying to their awesomeness. I am with you, guy with a beard! Right on!
