The Noel Harrison Sensation
The Noel Harrison Sensation (or simply The Sensation) is a transdimensional corporation which Noel Harrison (nonfiction) uses to project his sensorium.
Description
Harrison (nonfiction) usually manifests The Sensation as a movie poster, although he (nonfiction) occasionally manifests as a life-size cardboard figure.
Careful placement of The Sensation in space and time allows Harrison (nonfiction) to privately experience gala openings of his films, his own theater performances, and other film- and theater-related events, without drawing undue attention to himself.
Plimpton engine
George Plimpton famously invented the Plimpton engine while watching the film John Malkovich with The Sensation.
History
Harrison (nonfiction) invited George Plimpton (nonfiction) to join The Sensation for the premier showing of the film Being John Malkovich (nonfiction) starring John Malkovich (nonfiction).
The Sensation exerted two simultaneous manifestations:
- In the lobby, as life-size cardboard figure
- In the theater itself, as an enormous poster covering most of the back wall (with a slightly painful aperture for the beam)
Plimpton (nonfiction) invented the engine upon seeing John Malkovich (nonfiction) simultaneously in the lobby and in the film.
John Malkovich (nonfiction)'s reaction has gone undocumented (as of May 2016).
Alien (documentary film)
Noel Harrison (nonfiction) was deeply moved by Ridley Scott (nonfiction)'s documentary film Alien.
Years later, Harrison (nonfiction) declared that he would "burst open my chest for Ridley, if it got him the recognition he deserves."
Scott (nonfiction), who was just beginning work on Do Blade-Runners Shave Their Electric Sheep?, hired Harrison as creative director.
