"Before familiarity can turn into awareness, the familiar must be stripped of its inconspicuousness; we must give up assuming that the object in question needs no explanation. However frequently recurrent, modest, vulgar it may be, it will now be labeled as something unusual." - Bertolt Brecht

    Harry,
    You're very welcome.

    This might be considered a supplement to the Contemplative Cinema Blogathon (which I'm enjoying very much, but for which I haven't written anything this time around).
