Infinite Jest

Regarding my previous post on Big Brother, a reader sends me the following from the endnotes of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. It's part of an imaginary filmography:

"Cage III - Free Show" - Cosgrove Watt, P.A. Heaven, Everard Maynell, Pam Heath; partial animation; 35 mm; 65 minutes; black and white; sound. The figure of death (Heath) presides over the front entrance of a carnival sideshow whose spectators watch performers undergo unspeakable degradations so grotesquely compelling that the spectators' eyes become larger and larger until the spectators themselves are transformed into gigantic eyeballs in chairs, while on the other side of the sideshow tent the figure of Life (Heaven) uses a megaphone to invite fairgoers to an exhibition in which, if the fairgoers consent to undergo unspeakable degradations, they can witness ordinary persons gradually turn into gigantic eyeballs.

(re 'infinite jest' - what other books/ films can readers think of that lift their titles from Hamlet (discounting Tom Stoppard). I'll start you off with A Cut-Purse of the Empire', billed as a 'fascinating and fatal account of George Bush's assumption of the presidency'
