THE UNCANNY PART II!

Say what you want, but there's no denying how timely and relevant our course is. Check out the purely coincidental discussion of Wilson's book over at The Pomo Jukebox. Oh sure, you could note that there's a permanent link to that blog in our list of blog links that would suggest that I might know some of the bloggers over there which is why I took the liberty of linking them back to this blog in an effort to broaden your audience and all. That might be true. However, what's also true is that I had no idea that they would be discussing the book at the same time as us! As before, uncanny is the word.

The Uncanny Part II!

Professor Fisher's post about the Westboro Church made me think of my favorite clip from David Lynch's Mulholland Drive which deals directly with the uncanny. I think I might have mentioned it in class, but here it is in real life! I dare you guys to not be somewhat unnerved by this scene. I apologize for the crappy quality and Portuguese subtitles, but I had to take what I could get!

Enjoy!

I'm normally not this shameless

but this brief article seems relevant to the whole uncanny thing.
