      • Quoted a manfesto of Herzog where he sneers at cinema verité, that gave me a small sad since I have fond memories of Ricky Leacock at MIT Media Lab. JFM defended it later on though. Yay. And he does an excellent Herzog impersonation.
      • Some discussion of what Herzog is generally trying to do – is he a nihilist? Not really. He's trying to uncover and portray forces in the world that are larger than humanity (and may not care about us – that can sound like nihilism).
