This is Water - By David Foster Wallace
The Glossary
We made this video, built around an abridged version of the original audio recording [of David Foster Wallace’s 2005 commencent address at Kenyon College] , with the hopes that the core message of the speech could reach a wider audience who might not have otherwise been interested.

Danny Boyle talks about a “Pixarification of movies”:
You can see what’s happened with movies… is what I call a kind of Pixarification of movies. Pixar makes great movies, don’t get me wrong, they are very sophisticated storytellers. So much so that you have to litterally pull your socks up, you can’t compete with them, they’re so brilliant.
But they are family-friendly.
“ Cinema is a specificity of vision. It’s an approach in which everything matters. It’s the polar opposite of generic or arbitrary and the result is as unique as a signature or a fingerprint. It isn’t made by a committee, and it isn’t made by a company, and it isn’t made by the audience. It means that if this filmmaker didn’t do it, it either wouldn’t exist at all, or it wouldn’t exist in anything like this form.
The spinning vortex of Saturn’s north polar storm resembles a deep red rose of giant proportions surrounded by green foliage in this false-color image from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. Measurements have sized the eye at a staggering 1,250 miles (2,000 kilometers) across with cloud speeds as fast as 330 miles per hour (150 meters per second).
Janice Poon goes over the food styling in the show Hannibal.
Haute cannibal cuisine.
To simulate a woman’s thigh, my pork roast will be about 3 inches in diameter by 10 inches long. Made from 3 different thigh muscles, it will be stuffed and bound. Jose Andres has gone over my sketches and menu and made some mouth-watering suggestions (crystallized apple garnish, Cumberland sauce) and sends me an inspiring photo of his glorious bone-in rib roast.
