bug. i read an article about bug the friedkin film and about self-immolation. criterion lists it under body horror, but it's been removed. i saw it but r. didn't. several people have lit themselves on fire to protest genocide, it's the most extreme act of protest possible, as genocide is the ultimate crime, an immolation against all life. still it continues, the genocide, and life. the word bug is rich with meaning. i have a friend called bug, he used to stay under the bridge at wooded island. i don't know what his birth name was. we've had so many american genocides in other countries and now we have ice thugs killing people here. you see how it goes.
