Another collection of essays from the genius that was Umberto Eco. Very insightful, very funny, with the good news I can even understand some of these.
How To Play Indians- (in a movie)
e.g.
BEFORE ATTACKING
1. Never attack immediately; make yourself visible at a dsitance a few days anhead of time, producing easily observed some signals, thus giving the stage coach or the fort ample time to send word to the Seventh Calvary.
2. If Possible, appear prominently in small groups on the surrounding hills. Set up sentinels on totally isolated peaks.
ATTACKING THE STAGECOACH
1. In any attack on the stagecoch, always follow the vehicle at a short distance or, better still, ride along side it to facilitate your being shot.
And so on, absolutely hilarious.
