Life Outside the Warehouse

[mallorys_camera]

The third episode of Nathan Fiedler's The Rehearsal, Season 2, is so stunningly brilliant that I'm kinda struck wordless by it.

The best comedy always has that satori quality...

Fiedler is an absolute genius.

He takes that vast warehouse motiff from Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York and races with it. The motif doesn't actually work in Synecdoche, New York—or at least, it didn't work for me: too cerebral. But by milking it for laughs, Nathan Fiedler makes it work in the moment.

And after the moment...

Well. The vast warehouse where everything takes place while life (presumably) continues all around it is a very dreamlike embodiment.

I'm gonna have to think for a while about this one.

In other news...

I did very little yesterday except float in a kind of sunny obliviousness. Tromped, enjoyed my spectacular floral tributes:



Ate ice cream for dinner.

I would prefer to do absolutely nothing but float in sunny obliviousness today, but that ain't the way life outside the warehouse works! I got my 2,000 word quota to churn out.

Yay, your spectacular floral tribute is spectacular!

Thank goodness for the sublime moments. I still think they DO help with the grind.

The sublime moments definitely help balance the rest of it.
