Baudrillardian

Bray – a witty, elegant writer, with a penchant for mixing allusions to abstruse critical constructs (Kantian noumenon, Baudrillardian simulacra) with laddish phraseology which speaks of salaries somewhat "north of a million pounds" and Albert Finney's "dick-swinging" performance in Tom Jones – is keenly aware that the Bond films have contributed to what he calls "the infantilisation of cinema", but he cannot deny their centrality, and Connery's, to his own sense of self.

Faustus's Children uses its integration of political commentary with supernaturalism and a Baudrillardian aesthetic mission to reclaim pastiche as a form of political commentary from the 'blank parody' / 'dead language' paradigm identified by WarGames, "the 1983 blockbuster that chilled to the bone anyone who had newly installed an Apple IIe in the family room."
