Don’t worry, dfwgator. Here’s how you handle that conversation for ANY movie that makes it to the Oscars.
THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE MOVIE DFWGATOR DIDNT SEE.
Q: Hey did you see that movie that made it to the Oscars?
dfwgator: Oh, YES! I was really moved by the themes of oppression and sacrifice.
Q: I was practically in tears!
dfwgator: Practically? I was bawling. Both tears of empathy as well as guilt, you know?
Q: Yep.
dfwgator: The privileged capitalist hegemony has a LOT of making up to do.
Q: Wow! You really get it, dfwgator!
dfwgator: Well, sometimes it’s time to fight the power, you know?
Q: Yep. Hey let’s grab an arugula salad and Macchiato sometime! I’d love to talk race-gaze close analysis, vaginal semiology and Lacanian feminist film theory with you. Laura Mulvey... Susan Sontag... Let’s really get into it!
dfwgator: Cool! Hey - did you see Missing in Action 2? It was actually as good as the first!
AND THAT’S HOW YOU DO IT. (But can you tell when dfwgator screwed up?)
Hahahahahahah...love it! I would try it, but after two words, the tone of my voice, and the look on my face, my cover would be blown!
When I say “Oh, YES!” the utter sarcasm and distaste would be so evident, it would be like one of those situations where a non-toxic sarcastic overtone would (like a rat in an experiment that dies due to an overload of a non-toxic substance like peanut butter force fed to it in massive quantities) simply overpower and kill any doubt on the part of the other person!
Using the term, " vaginal semiology" instead of 'lower front hole semiology'?
