There is no Hitler building as such. We are quartered in Centenary Hall, a dark brick structure we share with the popular culture department, known officially as American environments. A curious group. The teaching staff is composed almost solely of New York émigrés, smart, thuggish, movie-mad, trivia-crazed. They are here to decipher the natural language of the culture, to make a formal method of the shiny pleasures they’d known in their Europe-shadowed childhoods — an Aristotelianism of bubble gum wrappers and detergent jingles.
“
— Don DeLillo, White Noise, p. 9. (via keyholez) (If you, like me, are somebody who reviews things or writes about culture in a non-fictional way, I think it’s healthy to check in with this quote every once in a while. Otherwise you can end up writing like Zizek or Jonathan Lethem.)

Where is authenticity in all these moments?

Shared on film

Find it

I with fingers poised on

How do you do this?

Strip off to bare skin and then jump

With icy eyes watching
