Waldun made a video (pic related) "drinking whisky" with a mega pseud and she commented on his video that she wanted to be in the next episode. (They both go to the same university and are majoring in literature). This is the crossover we didn't ask for but truly deserve.

Waldun is a repressed homosexual and Dakota is sexually aggressive but in a very immature way. He is a natural attractor for certain types of females (i.e. dumb but nice girls that weren't hot until after high school, fag-hags, (((thoughtful))) girls, arthoes, etc)--as he is entirely non-threatening due to a lack of core confidence (which comes off as sensitivity). You can decide for yourself which of the aforementioned categories Dakota fits into.

My guess is some sort of relationship may develop which could force his repressed homosexuality to the fore...we could potentially see confirmation of the HH within the coming months (but it's still likely it will come toward the end of his undergrad as it does with most people in similar situations).

>There's no question in my mind that certain very good films are equivalent aesthetic achievements - reach the same heights as - very good novels, albeit not necessarily those novels that are reckoned truly "great."
>I would put Au Hasard Balthazar and L'Argent and a number of other films in this category. I don't think those films reach the heights of Shakespeare or Dante... but in the final analysis, that's not because of any inherent limitation in the medium of film.** Rather, it's because film has not yet had an artist with gifts equivalent to a Shakespeare or a Dante... and indeed, literature itself, over some 2000 years (vs. film's less than 150), has only produced two artists of that caliber.
>**If a dramatist like Shakespeare, working with actors and theatrical effects, can achieve "the heights of literature," then so too can an artist working in the medium of film, for Shakespeare's dramas are far more akin to film than they are to pure literature.

>"That's why when you read Hemingway, you can tell this guy is bringing to the page what his body brought to him in the moments that he lived."
Whenever you think this guy has said the most pretentious thing you've heard this week 10 seconds pass and he drops another bomb.
