I dont think this is the right place to post this, but there is no right place to post anything, so this is just as perfect as anywhere. First one is fun, the second one is serious.
GAME
Earthbound (Mother II) and Mother
Old random-assed japanese games. Anyone remember them? They stopped making them, but The Powers That Be are always talking about reviving the series. Upon some real consideration, the game had alot of Our Lady's graces, and apart from the odd sores that causes, its an excellent way of permitting the young to think abstractly. Also source of much lulz.
MOVIE
Pleasantville
Pleasantville is such a Discordian metaphor. First of all, it makes perfect sense that Eris is Don Knotts. The characters ('HODGE' and 'PODGE', perhaps) Are whisked away from Creation into another Creation, one plagued by the Curse of Grayscale (pun). To survive, they play along, leaving behind a long trail of Sacred Bull whose odor eventually provokes further investigation. Upon inquiring, the citizens of Creation make a discovery about the workings of their world and how it cant be controlled, or understood, or for that matter, confined. (Also, there is much sex and backseat humping in this section, in true Discordian style) Thus, in full Technicolor, they are granted liberation. Still, they are persecuted and mis-understood by the Upholders of Grayscale. To fight back, they place images and messages on walls and in public places to infuriate, to sadden, but mostly, to encourage thought and appreciation from those still Gray. It doesnt work on many. They are put on trial for their 'crimes', and by breaking away from the order demanded by the courtroom, they reach all those around, and make the whole of Creation Technicolor! Then, random stuff happens, and some people go home, and then it ends. Also, some where in there, theres a five lettered APPLE that fucks everything over. Its quite nice.
Also, different analysis' for the main characters, and Eris actually being the main characters mother (crying in the begining, happy at the end) and Don Knotts being Aneris. Each scene can be broken down into a different lesson about Discord, but i'll let others analyze.
(If there's already been mention of BOTH the game and the movie, just tell the n00b that i am to suck a fat donkey dick and i'll shut up.)
