hmmmm well if you say so. I guess I'll go to the matinee. I can't believe there was a whole block long waiting line. People are so bored! haha.

I've been frustrated by a recent point of contention with my friends regarding Pan's Labyrinth. I interpreted the story as an endorsement of real magic leaching into and penetrating the materialistic, brutal world of war; they see it as a perception of war as soon through the eye's of a child. In other words, in my interpretation, magic is real, it has a real impact on the world but simply isn't available to the adults; in my friend's interpretation, magic only exists in the young girl's imagination, and is merely a response of her imagination to the harsh and troubled world around her.

Thoughts?

magic would be real to the adults if they believed it, but being an adult dosen't make you turn towards magic much, it isn't that helpful in most adult tasks.

it dosen't make you dinner or protect your children. it maybe helps you weave meaning from causalities if you're free enough to observe them on you own terms, and you can do much within in a group... but only so much. usa still got guns better than any chaos magick granade.

I saw the movie Pan's Labyrinth. There are a few subtle clues that give away the secret meaning of the movie. I don't want to ruin it but if anyone can read the book "MIND OVER SPACE" by the great, late Dr. Nandor Fodor then the answer will be revealed:
