They all told me: be afraid of Slavoj Žižek, be very, very afraid. They said he eats interviewers for lunch, stalking from country to country dropping cluster bombs of harshly complex Marxist theory on terrified audiences. After reading The Sublime Object of Ideology it was easy to buy into this; while I got through the book, I felt like most of Žižek's argument as to what ideology is was whooshing right over my head. So when I bumped into him angrily griping about people leaving to go to the bathroom during the credits of this film I jumped a mile and thought he was about to bite my head off.
