maya, i guess i'm coming from a passionate subject position and passion is often, perhaps needlessly, difficult to perceive. i don't think i'm arrogant, i just try to advocate films and filmmakers that are not often discussed. i find it far more important to create a great deal of noise about the barely known than to add to the abundance of hype surrounding certain other films. now i'm going to go watch TIME REGAINED (Ruiz). later.
