simulacra
It doesn't surprise me in the least when I get tangled up in what is real and what is not. I get snowed by the representation of the thing rather than the thing. Swayed by the press. More bark than bite. This is where "TerminalTerminal" kicks off. Imagine someone trapped in an airport for 16 years and then a big holywood preoducer shows up and begins to make a movie about it. except it ain't about it! it about something, but not his story, to say "based on a true story" is so bogus.
I was intersted in the man stuck in an airport, but I must confess my own use of his story to benefit mine, or for the greater good, what is this greater good? stay tuned i'll speak on it some more..
please remember
