MIM Movie Review

This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

   I Shot Andy Warhol (1996)

   The story of the would-be radical feminist who founded (and was the
   sole member of) the Society for Cutting Up Men (SCUM). She thinks
   men are biologically inferior, which is incorrect, but her anger is
   righteous and her advocacy of asexuality and destruction of Amerika
   are right on. She shoots Andy Warhol - not because he is a man,
   but because she thinks he is cashing in on her work, a man-hating
   play she hoped he would produce. The "alternative" scene is no safe
   haven from patriarchy; it's just as decadent and meaningless as the
   mainstream. It is funny that a womyn who opposed patriarchy thought
   Warhol could be worth anything.
