Annalisa Coliva - 'Wittgenstein and Social Epistemology', free to download for the next two weeks - it's presumably in part building on her chapter in the handbook, which was on social hinge epistemology:

Borges’ capsule review of KING KONG in which he mostly complains that Kong should be bigger

Film review by Jorge Luis Borges of KING KONG (1933): King Kong: A monkey fourteen meters high (some of his fans say fifteen) is obviously charming, but perhaps that is not enough. This monkey is not full of juice; he is a dried out and dusty contraption with angular, clumsy movements. His only virtue-his height-seems not to have greatly impressed the photographer, who persists in not shooting him from below but from above, a plainly mistaken angle that invalidates and annuls his tallness. It should be added that he is hunchbacked and bowlegged, features that also shorten him. To ensure that there is nothing extraordinary about him, they make him fight monsters far stranger than he and find him lodgings in fake caverns the size of a cathedral, where his hard-won stature is lost. A carnal or romantic love for Miss Fay Wray brings to perfection the ruin of this gorilla and of the film as well.

I have finally decided to venture outside of the realm of V60 brewing. The dialling in process with a second hand lever machine has claimed a few casualties...

I watched Stuart Little recently. Once you realise that Hugh Laurie's character is Gregory House hallucinating about the rat he found in season 2, the film improves dramatically.

Here's a question for anyone doing interpretative work. How do you weigh philosophical plausibility with textual accuracy? This question has been on my mind a lot after doing some work on Hume's scepticism about the senses in the Treatise.
