Yukiyukite shingun

That's the original title of The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On. This movie might make you uneasy, but probably (or most often) not in the same way as the last one we watched. As I mentioned, there are no readings this week. You are, therefore, also getting one blog-free week. That's right; everyone gets to skip making blog comments this week. But, I still want to give you some stuff to enjoy, so this is a "free" post. Comments are welcome, of course, but not required this week.

If you know Japanese, you can watch the first scene and follow it. The wedding speech includes some info that might strike you as unconventional.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find subtitled clips of this scene.

Here are some fun things for you to enjoy instead of work this week.

This is a documentary by Jong Pairez (see earlier post) about a Critical Mass action in Manila.


Here's a scene from a movie I'll bet few of you have seen: Reds. It features this scene in which a communist journalist, John Reed, speaks with anarchist Emma Goldman.


Here's David Graeber, an anarchist anthropologist, talking on the Charlie Rose show.
