Seeing The Mona Lisa Is Like A Mosh Pit?
a: Seeing the mona lisa ~
b: standing just before the stage at a gig
What: "Seeing the Mona Lisa is like standing just before the stage at a gig, swept back and forth by the crowd and fighting to get close enough to get a glimpse. Dan Brown Tom Hanks and Ron Howard got to film here at night, and were allowed to wander through the rooms at will while making The Da Vinci Code movie. I envy them."

Eraserhead As Post Modern Mind
a: Eraserhead ~
b: the post modern mind
What: This movie, which I can't understand, seems to resonate with many film
school types. But the question is, what the hell is it about? For one,
it's not to be taken literally. If not literal, what does it
represent? Maybe it's the post-modern mind. If this is true, the post
modern mind is black and white, confused, noisy, irrational, confining
and dark. What else is there to say? Oh yeah there is no post modern
mind, but maybe there are post modern minds, many minds with many
types. So, Eraserhead would be David Lynche's post modern mind. Which
is distinct from everyone else's post modern mind. He just happened to
define it in this film. If this is true, I understand why Roger Ebert
doesn't like this film. It is utterly incoherent, by design.

a: monad ~
b: a soul or an atom
What:
" Leibniz is supposed to help provide answers to these questions. His philosophy revolves around the concept of monads, a term drawn from calculus indicating something irreducible and individual. A monad is like a soul or an atom, except that it contains within itself all ideas about the external world, including the relationships between objects on the time and space continuum, including itself. Harvey singles out the following passage from Leibniz's writings presumably because it speaks to his quandary at the Oxford Rover plant."
