been hanging out the last couple of days with phillip mcreynolds, was a grad studenmt in phil at vanderbilt when i was there in the early nineties. he's shooting a documentary on american philosophy and has been talking to people like the great john mcdermott, my old dissertation advisor richard rorty...and me! who doesn't want to pontificate for a couple of hours while being filmed (well someone, maybe, but not philosophy profs). plus phillip is asking the right questions and stuff. meanwhile the reprehensible adam szczepanski (of malignant blog and a million comments on this very site) is due any minute. i've never actually met him.
