Even when they act like you—pretending to be things they aren’t.

Chalkboard what is this
Sedition, I was just wondering, I don't know that our tastes would be the same when it comes to flicks, but I just saw Synechdoche, New York and thought, "ah, Sedition would probably dig it." But maybe you'd hate it or you already do...I just wanted to see if I could extract your take on it out of your brain...
I loved it, thought it was the best movie I've seen in quite a while. But if you hate it, I'd love to see your spanking of it (and I, by extension). This sounds sexual, but it's not. I promise.
[Sedition · three kids means I see movies when they hit cable so I haven’t caught it yet. The only Kaufman I know was a scene from Adaptation, IIRC, wherein the protagonist is ripped a new one for suggesting that real life is by definition mundane, banal. I was in love immediately but haven’t seen anything of his but that 3 minutes.]

The Wolf, the Kid, and the Goat
Mother Goat was going to market one morning to get provisions for her household, which consisted of but one little Kid and herself.
“Take good care of the house, my son,” she said to the Kid, as she carefully latched the door. “Do not let anyone in, unless he gives you this password: ‘Down with the Wolf and all his race!’”
Strangely enough, a Wolf was lurking near and heard what the Goat had said. So, as soon as Mother Goat was out of sight, up he trotted to the door and knocked.
“Down with the Wolf and all his race,” said the Wolf softly.
It was the right password, but when the Kid peeped through a crack in the door and saw the shadowy figure outside, he did not feel at all easy.
“Show me a white paw,” he said, “or I won’t let you in.”
A white paw, of course, is a feature few Wolves can show, and so Master Wolf had to go away as hungry as he had come.
“You can never be too sure,” said the Kid, when he saw the Wolf making off to the woods.
Two sureties are better than one.
