Sonnet: Lost Methodologies We begin, with the hope of making it in the movies, to arrive, hopping off the bus at the bus station, beginning our hunt for a good screen name, one that goes well with Mulholland. Am- nesiacs 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. Embroiled in a classical quest—emotionally, then sexually— we can’t be sure what the writer and director have in mind, since we only get snippets of scenes, and those in a scrambled order. Actors who play our younger selves hang around a soda fountain, eager to be introduced to a wider audience, while we’re being made up for our death scenes. Wild-eyed Canadians look on as we ready ourselves for post-production interviews and commentaries that will fill out the film’s DVD version. And then, at last, curtains.
