Something about identity and film acting, which is a really weird cultural phenomenon when you think about it. Examples from The Godfather, Synecdoche, New York, and Chris Marker's Sans Soleil (one of my favourite films)

I felt like I ought to resist the urge to talk about Borges *yet again*, but Averroes Search was almost discussed here. We take for granted how weird it is that everyone thinks it's normal that someone's job can be pretending to be someone else for art's sake.

I think my favorite part of today was reading this very contemplative piece on pop and Christmas music, and then being transported to a world of unimaginably fast yodeling.
