Re: 'Being There.'
I saw it long ago but only figured out what
themes, events, and people
it was meant to hide as decoy counterpropaganda
when this article below came out
just recently (December 2007) and I caught it at Alex Constantine's website.

That photo above of Peter Sellers in a wheelchair is a BIG thematic hint from the 'script writers.'

What is decoy counterpropaganda, to hide what? The links are interesting but you never stated what they were supposed to support.

That does make more sense after the first five chapters. Pangloss does not seem like a character you would want to take your nick from given what I have read of what you have written here.

At risk of major embarrassment, I offer the story of the origins of Professor Pan. I wrote it a long time ago, back when "hypertext fiction" seemed cutting edge

It seemed cool and edgy at the time, though it makes me cringe to read it now. But for historical purposes only, I offer an early story about the origins of Professor Pan.*

Then I discovered psy-ops stuff in movies I had liked when I first watched them cold with just 'face value.'

And that is where your train went off the rails and into a very deep crevasse.

I'm a big fan of the film, and I plan to watch it in the next couple of days. I hope those of us who don't buy into your megaconspiracy can discuss it outside of your framework, and you won't be bullying us with your megaphone.

Again, your perceived psyops angle is certainly welcome, but please, try not to derail conversations about other aspects of the film.

Ha ha chlamor, that is about the mental image I have had of you.

Thanks for validating my vaguely psychic perceptions.

Modern christians have gone on to pervert even their own perversion of Pan.

Thanks Pan. You must be pretty secure about who you are today. For myself, I went through everything I ever wrote (tucked away in a box in a closet and never published online in any form) about 10 years ago and destroyed 99% of it.

So your nick sort of contains both the Apollonian and Dionysian?

I could not help but be reminded of the club scene in Jacob's Ladder in reading your writing of ten years ago. Maybe Jacob's Ladder might be a film worth eventually examining in this context.

Enjoy!

Locking and moving at Ian's request. "Being There" discussion continues here.
