Not at all within the topical parameters I’ve set for this column, but I just thought of how awesome it was that he acknowledged that the haunted scary tape that Samara makes is bad video art. I always found it to be a confusingly friendly and disarming moment in a movie that generally takes itself so seriously. Somewhat related: one of my favorite things is when TV shows and movies make fun of conceptual art, and the TV writers’ uninformed parodies of conceptual art. I always thought it’d be a cool idea to curate an exhibition of them. I can’t think of any examples right now.
