Sky Captain as McLuhanesque futurism
after class lisa + i watched Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow which is very McLuhanesque in the future seen thru the rearviewmirror sense. i was deeply reminded of the radio plays i listened to as a kid, spinning those already dusty vinyls reissues of The Shadow, Captain Midnight + others. recorded radio transmissions of the 1930's played back on my dad's turntable in the 1970's giving me artificial memories + making me repeat "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow Knows!" ++ "Captain Midnight drinks Ovaltine" while imagining decoder rings + secret messages passed thru these hystories. mom used to lovingly say i was a dinosaur back then when i [repeated/revisited] those [radio plays/narratives] from her childhood.
