Not sure that I'll see this animated movie of Noam Chomsky, but it sounds intriguing. If anyone here sees it, I'd love to know your reaction.

OMG I wanna see this. It's an animated film about Chomsky and linguistics directed by the director of The Chemical Brothers video "Let Forever Be".

The title is "Is the Man who is Tall Happy?" This is an example of recursive embedding. One clause ("the man is tall") is embedded inside another clause ("is the man happy?"). I think that Chomsky has claimed that recursive embedding is a special feature of language.

Thanks for pointing that out, Goofy. I was sure there was something about the title that was more than what was obvious, but I don't have the background to identify it.

While it will likely play in my previous location (Portland, Oregon) it will likely be banned here in Fundamentalistville. What's that means of viewing it that they mention at the end? I don't know about it. Something like You tube?

VOD: video on demand, eg Netflix.

Well, heck. Maybe now I'll see it.

Looks interesting. I do like the feature films of Gondry which I have seen.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could all see it together? I know it won't happen, but I can fantasize, can't I?

Speaking of Chomsky, here is an article from today's NY Times. I don't agree with it, though.
