I was sitting comfortably on my bed reading a story on Reddit about Ghengis Khan when Travis Miler burst into my room. “Derson?” “What’s good.” My phone said it was 8:56 am. “Bowl?” “I’d be down.” I laid back on my bed and rubbed my eyes, sinking into the pad on my mattress.

William states that what film has brought into the picture at the end of this century is the possibility that the circle will become complete, that the represented reality will cross the threshold…
