After being slapped in the face repeatedly about film and TV in VL,
we have in IV for starters:
Pg 3 this isn't just a couple X-rated Polaroids
Pg 6 a Southern California beach that never was
Pg 9 Bigfoot showed up on camera wearing getups
Pg 14 a rendering of a giant bloodshot eyeball
Pg 32 have to look in through and past all that depressing detail
Pg 38 She handed Doc a couple of Polaroid baby pictures
Pg 42 I'd like to have one for every minute. Rent, like, a warehouse
Pg 58 Do you like the lighting
Pg 59 It's that Ida Lupino
Pg 61 reflected in the screen of a mammoth TV
Pg 63 hand-painted silk ties
Pg 73 blurred telephoto shot of himself
IV reminds me a lot of Marcel Duchamp's urinal of 1917 and the still
photos and such in IV remind me of Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2.
