You Can See Everything is pure astral America. At one scene, the husband is talking to an AI Holmes while lizards crawl around his Texan kitchen. Among the Baudrillardian elements are: • the repeated audio-visual flashback with varying interpretations a la Blowup, Conversation, or Blowout; • Hitchcock trope of a guy secretly longing for a girl and settling for her double; • more self-referential layers than a Borges story; • a breaking of genre and form for documentaries akin to F for Fake or Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One, as the guide breaks rules that didn't even exist; • plus Fielder's own deadpan, flare for contrived awkward situations amid endless curve balls.

But Marley, you were always a good man of business. Business, Scrooge? Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business. Charity, benevolence, forbearance, mercy were all my business. My trade was but a drop in the comprehensive ocean of my business.

Tolkien when the Narnia Chronicles surpassed the Lord of the Rings in sales:

Is this a holy mystery? Driving from Philly, I often see, alongside ads for elections, gambling, AI, and strip clubs, religious billboards. Some are easy to get. The usual ones are "Afraid of hell? Call 1-800..." A typical downtown one was: "Jesus, I trust in you," with the Divine Mercy image. Another one went: "Chastity: romance with the regret." Others, however, are harder. This is the current perplexing case. "Thou shall not steal," in big bold letters. It's the ten commandments, right? As in, protestant. Then in smaller letters underneath, it says: "Be vigilant. Angels are coming." Okay, apocalyptic. Then underneath that is "Matthew 16:7." Not the verse, mind you, just the citation. The actual verse goes: "They discussed this among themselves and said, ‘It is because we didn’t bring any bread.’" Which is the disciples reacting literally to Jesus saying "be on your guard" against bread from Pharisees and Sadducees. Okay, so no to hypocrisy. But, here's the kicker: the wording on the billboard is hovering around a giant image of the Ascension of the Virgin Mary in her Heavenly Queenship. The 8th commandment, angels bringing doomsday, no to bad bread, and St. Mary's intercession. I've no idea which denomination this billboard is from, nor its ecumenical meaning, but I respect the ambition, however enigmatic.

Plus Chris Eigeman has a great cameo as a family man with a murdered wife and missing daughter...in a grief support group attended by Rosanna Arquette...for the one episode of Homicide: Life on the Street directed by @WhitStillman: "The Heart of a Saturday Night."

Technicolor made a big comeback in the 2200s. Few historians have noted this yet, but I imagine there is a groundbreaking dissertation just waiting to be written.

While shooting, John Huston was shocked that Flannery wasn't mainly making fun of religion, but actually believed in the Gospel. Also, Benedict Fitzgerald, who wrote it with his brother, did only one other feature: The Passion of the Christ. Before dying, he wrote A Good Man is Hard to Find script that's yet to be adapted.

He is drunker than Don Draper, but still should know better than to be lowering his gloves.
