The brilliant No Fear of the Future blog explores an under-researched area of film theory: entirely random appearances by famous writers in movies. I dig the imaginary Love Boat episode where "an enfeebled Jorge Luis Borges" plays himself in a script that could fit perfectly inside a Borges story. (Thanks Ed Champion for the link).
Politics is already a lot like a reality show. Now MySpace is building a reality televsion show where aspiring politicians compete to win election campaign funds. Salvation for a politically apathetic nation or the last gasp of an image-conscious political scene? Don't ask me, ask Steve Bryant.
Steve also informed me that we both live in the bloggiest neighborhood in the country. If you want to move to Clinton Hill with us, do it soon--rents are climbing faster than an out-of control rocketship.
