Chasm / Re: Tolkien: Ecofascist?
« on: April 06, 2008, 07:23:47 PM »Quote
Although Tolkien's Lord of the Rings was not allegorical, it is apparent that the Ruling Ring and the destruction of the natural world that flows from the desire for its power are a reflection of (my own) concern for humanity's ability to destroy both itself and the earth. That (interpretations of this work) chooses a course of total rejection of such knowledge and power is perhaps one of the unconscious sources of some critics' reaction to the work. Such a rejection strikes at the heart of the concept of progress as it has developed in western civilization.
Fixed.

Grant Morrison claims that much of The Matrix was a "plot by plot, detail by detail, image by image" plagiarization of his work and its true. The comic was in fact kept on the set as a reference. There was no lawsuit though.

The article says nothing about metal. The girl was a "goth". There's a mainstream misconception that most metal fans are "goths". Was the topic title meant as a joke or something?

Chasm / Re: Ritualistic sound

Most black metal I listen to seem to have this ritualistic vibe though I wouldn't consider them particularly Shamanistic by modern association of the term (Native American religion). The Polish pagan acts (Graveland, Infernum, Veles, Fullmoon) seem best at creating this sense of an ancient religion. Lord Wind's Forgotten Songs stands out in particular as well as Graveland's underrated Immortal Pride.

Sorry to bump this.
What adverse side-effects are you speaking of? I quit Lexapro cold turkey two years ago and have since developed an extreme anxiety disorder. I've come close to committing suicide a few times but decided against it in the hope that the anxiety will eventually pass.
