What is Hollywood, you ask, dear children? A quorum of whores babbling endlessly on about fucking while the bordello is razed for a penny arcade -- Paul Bern

THE METALEPTIC SOCIETY


Imagine a dystopia where:

Every reference is unstable, a half-sign, which makes crucial and tautological allusion to another half-sign, and so on. The primary labor in such a society is decoding, and to work in this way is to encourage a schizophrenic frenzy. 

Yet, it would not be wrong or unjust to call such a beautiful society cinematic.
