A picture says a thousand words. But those words are silent, and they are in your head, and it’s really you doing the work of putting those words together. A tour of an art museum might involve someone asking you to form the words. What do you think of this piece? The suppressed panic of oral book reports banishes any semblance of imagination. But the Motion Picture changed all of that. Now the pictures do the thousand words by themselves. Active portrayals of suspenseful or dramatic words, comedic or horrifying words. No longer must my brain be activated to make sense of it all. Unfortunately, the habits of old die slowly, and still people want to describe the pictures with their own words. The water cooler and the social media are rampant with the teachers’ pets that diligently deliver their oral reports of last night’s Squid Game. Reap the spoils with Mat, Veronique, and Guest – Cali Gilman – as we cover our ears and silence the Spoilers!
