While it's true I remembered the camera zooming into his ketchup stain and there being a light there, after watching it I also just wanted to post it because it's an amazing scene.

The facial expressions, the eyes, the guy suddenly violently wanting his hammer, the request for toilet paper, the switch to the cold-stared-but-sincere statements about the circus and having a way with animals, the synth chords, the way they're mixed a little loud against the voices - it's genius. I've ruined it by poor analysis / just a literal stating of some events that happened in it probably lol, but yeah...any excuse to wax lyrical. 😄

I really should take steps towards actually making something like this, and/or using these patterns for things like furnishing fabrics, ties or socks.

I like how the main dude's ketchup stain in this scene kind of becomes a light (after this iirc)

Now the lamp is also unsure whether it is currently illuminating or just being imminently obsolete.
