----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I'd like to elicit a mass brainstorming effort:  I'm working on an idea
concerning films in which a pre-recorded message plays a part in conveying
narrative information (an answering machine, a tape player, etc.).
Example:  in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Pepa's boyfriend
exists primarily as the messages he leaves on her answering machine.
Anything you can think of would be greatly appreciated.  More on this
later.  Thanks!!
