Godard in the Balkans (9/2/99)
____________
Moby Dick. [Herman Melville, 1851.]
Boy meets whale. Boy loses whale. Whale gets boy. Followed by the lesser-known sequels
Dick Two,
Dick 3D,
Dick: The Revenge, and
Beach Blanket Moby. — However far James Cameron may have recovered in my esteem by making fun of himself in Brooks’ latest comedy, it remains my fervent hope that he has never heard of Herman Melville; and that no one will ever tell him.
