Um...I kind of blogged on Eternal Sunshine over the weekend. See my comments under the entry entitled "Posting from Tralfamadore."
You'll find that many of our observations correspond (without knowing it!).
It would be kind of fun to do a class outing to see the film. Those who'd like to do so, see me after class tonight.

Steven Johnson's slate article on Eternal Sunshine: http://slate.msn.com/id/2097502/
This is about neuroscience and our current understanding of consciousness, and might give people an interesting background for discussing the relevance of our reading to the film (which I have now seen twice, with no appreciable loss of interest on the second viewing... it's really very good).
