which I'm sure Akerman would say is the point ... fair enough, I guess ....
If someone is going to demand my fixed attention for 80 minutes, I want them to have something to say worth stopping strangers in the street and having them listen. This, by contrast, reminds me of a little kid pulling at her parent's sleeve saying, "Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mom! Mom, listen!" And then when the mom does say, "Yes?" the kid actually doesn't have anything to share. She just wanted her mother's attention. Which is fine! Kids want their parents attention. But that's a kid and a parent. If a stranger is going to pull at my sleeve like that, I want more than letters, whiteness, sugar, handjob, sex, the end.
