Having just watched Mulholland Drive, I found this one fascinating Hal.
Never been there, and have little desire to go.
This is really great - "Amnesiacs all, we are cast in leading roles, but
cannot remember our lines long enough to finish the briefest of scenes. We
forget both our names and the names of the characters we are playing.
Thanks,
