In François Truffaut's remarkable movie about making movies, Day for Night, leading man Alphonse flees the set after experiencing emotional trauma, and is summarily rounded up at the go-karts.In Kevin Smith's remarkable movie about making movies with your friends (and sneaking in digs at Peter Jackson), Clerks II, leading man Randal Graves flees Mooby's after experiencing emotional trauma, and is summarily rounded up at the go-karts.
Was this an homage to Truffaut, I wonder, or do go-karts just have some sort of universal "centering" effect of which I am unaware?
