::CREMISTRESS::

Wow. Here's a brilliant review by Wayne Bremser linking "Cremaster 3" to video games. An excerpt:

"The construction worker Mario moves in pursuit of Pauline, while Barney's construction worker, the Entered Apprentice, climbs in pursuit of the architect, Hiram Abiff. Both workers are presented with a single facial expression, no dialogue and no significant character development except their determination to move ever upwards."

Merriment ensues in the full article: Link.

NOTE: And it turns out that I was pretty wrong about the filling-the-elevator motivation of The Mason. Damn that I didn't know more about the Freemasons.
