If You Are Lost, No One Will Try to Find You

I went to see this for $5.00. But you can see it for $20.00, and I think it would be worth it. I also enjoyed the story of Jeremiah Barnes and the visual aesthetic of Fear and Trembling which I think is the anatomy of a panic attack. The packages are all handmade and beautiful unlike the mass marketed Muppet slides I had as a child. Bonus: You can get a lot of mileage out of your ViewMaster by making your own slides!

Being short, I usually have to sit fairly close to the screen for movies at Cinematheque, particularly if they're subtitled (Note to any filmmakers who stumble upon this: Why don't you put subtitles at the top of the screen? Not that I don't love the abdominal workout I get from bobbing and weaving in my seat while trying to see around the heads in front of me, but there's enough empty space up there, is it really necessary to tuck the subtitles away at the bottom?). Today, however, being that the screen was, well, in my hands, I got to sit in the back, in a chair sponsored by... Nick Burns. Love it.
