God Bless Rian Johnson

If you have not rent and watch the following movies:

Brick
The Brothers Bloom

Then learn something about Joyce's Ulysses.

Then, realize that Rian Johnson is a genius.

Stephen.
Bloom.
Penelope.

God dammit.

What are movies in movies, plays in plays, stories in stories. I think Shakespeare was the first to popularize this. Well, Rian Johnson wrote stories in stories in stories in The Brothers Bloom, and then didn't even tell me it was all a metafiction until just now.

Talk about the other penny dropping. When I grow up I want to write like him.
