           So , about Godard.I won't write a lot about his movies now.Just a 
short note.In 60-s he with other radicals formed partisan film collective , 
called the Dziga Vertov (after soviet documentary director). This group wanted 
to fight the capitalist world ( and capitalist cinema ) , using
cameras unstead of guns.Sounds familiar , doesn't it ? 
      "A camera is a gun" ("Vineland" , p.197).I gues TRP had those group on 
his mind , when he was creating his 24fps. I admire Godard , but Pynchon's 
24fps is closer and more understandable to me , than the Dziga Vertov group.
