don't look back, like dylan in the movies.
the new mcsweeney's comes -- at least to subscribers -- with a sample of wholphin, a “dvd magazine of unseen things.” for the sake of brevity, their self-description:
Wholphin is our new quarterly DVD magazine, featuring short films, documentaries, animation, and instructional videos that have not, for whatever reason, found wide release.
in this issue there's a documentary circa the 2000 election by spike jonze on al gore, and it is freaking heartbreaking. it shows gore, without pretense, in the exact light america needed to seem him in: warm and human, with real passion and depth. you walk away from viewing it thinking: a) this is the guy we could have had. WE SUCK. and: b) if they'd shown this after Friends one thursday back in the day, things might have gone differently in 2000.
[bangs head slowly against wall]
it burns! BURNS!!!
