Found Drama's inception (Film and Optics)
There’d been that first brutal winter night, early in the O.N.A.N.ite temporo-subsidized era, soon after the InterLace dissemination of The Man Who Began to Suspect He Was Made of Glass, that Himself emerged from the sauna and came to Lyle all sloppy-blotto and depressed over the fact that even the bastards in the avant-garde journals were complaining that even in his commercially entertaining stuff Incandenza’s fatal Achilles’ heel was plot, that Incandenza’s efforts had no sort of engaging plot, no movement that sucked you in and drew you along. Mario and Ms. Joelle van Dyne are probably the only people who know that Found Drama and anticonfluentialism both came out of this night with Lyle.
Context
The scene is this single linking paragraph, and it is the source-document for two whole phases of the filmography: Found Drama (the genre that removes the camera entirely) and anticonfluentialism, both born in one drunken sauna-night confession to Lyle. The critics' complaint — no movement "that sucked you in and drew you along" — reads as the dare the Entertainment fatally answers, and the secret-keepers sentence quietly names JOI's true intimates. The Found Drama mechanics and the après-garde lineage live in n.145 (screen target); Carlisle's filmography-ordering audit (the Found Dramas are listed before the film that supposedly preceded them) hangs off n.24.
