The scenes of Jim as a kid are some of my favorite in the book. I don’t know what the general consensus is on those scenes. Do other people enjoy them as much?

A lot of the book is Wallace expressing ideas, and there’s not a ton to visualize for a decent number of sections. What are your favorite scenes that make for great visuals? Mine is definitely the opening scene.

Anyone know where he gets them/what style they are? When he wears them around his wrist, they look pretty big, but when he wears them on his head, I don’t see any excess hanging down like Rambo. I don’t know too much about headwear. Does anyone know the specific style/how he wears them?

From what I’ve read, they’ve never actually shot anything on film, but the way they emulate it is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Does anyone know how they get their stuff to look like it was actually shot on film and not just emulating the look? I’m specifically talking about the opening of “The Buffet,” the opening credits to NTBTSTM, and Operation Avalanche.

Especially in The Blind Side. If it’s a real hospital and people don’t know they’re filming, then how do they even get Matt into the hospital if he’s not actually injured/blind. Also, the whole The Boy episode baffles me every time, too. Does anyone have any bts information?
