Aren't there some web comics (or print, I dunno) that put principles more like what John is talking about into practice? I might be thinking of the Itchy and Scratchy lemonade cartoon that someone quoted on the banal conversation thread, but I can totally see a four panel comic in which two characters have a totally pointless and boring conversation.

I don't understand this. I found some of the road shots really interesting, too: the Gordon Lightfoot song soundtracking rain on a windshield is particularly beautiful -- but I don't see how the "context" takes away from the beauty. What is the context, anyway?

The Brown Bunny is an interesting example of seeing a guy do very little for a long, long time, but then at the end you understand the circumstances. If it didn't have the payoff, it would be more like a travelogue than anything else. Which, if the scenery was pretty...

And yes, good call on all of those, Eric. I'd also add Bully, which demonstrated the banality of evil more provocatively than anything else I can think of.

You're right, J. - all three of those are OMG 9/11, OMG COLUMBUINE, OMG ROCK-STAR SUICIDE, ho-de-hum, breakfast, etc. With no other competing dramatic storylines (kid dying of cancer, couple fighting, whatever), which I love.

So little depends upon the Brown Bunnydriving across the country.

xpost: Otto, it's cool -- I only ended up staying there for about 15 minutes, just long enough to meet Jon. I did run into an ex-co-worker of mine, though.

If they throw this one out, I'm going on a rampage. I don't have $1.69 to spend on Nantucket Nectars every other day.

2x, just don't get the narrow mouth kind like the one in the picture because you can't fit 1. ice cubes through it and 2. a water purifier on it.

I am now down to one bottle and no caps, though, so I need to pick up a couple more to get my three bottle rotation in place for next semester.
