Another good one, lads! Episodes of Uncomposed always make me wish I had my guitar to hand so I can eff around and experiment with the stuff you're talking about

I mean, short of starting a topic which just states

the posting pattern couldn't be any clearer.
Honestly, I'm fascinated by this.

So, two disclaimers:
1) I love Dan Harmon and I love Harmontown. I went to Toronto to view a screening of this, and watched them tape the Harmontown podcast live, so, obviously I have some bias.
2) Dan executive produced this, and while it would be very easy for him to have a say in how he is portrayed, he wanted the filmmaker to make something honest, and so his only input was on the movie's structure (he's obsessed with Joseph Campbell and narrative).

I'm finding this difficult to phrase, but I'll do my best.

I thought this was a wonderful documentary. Dan is overwhelmingly, recklessly honest, especially about himself. On the surface, this is a documentary about Dan Harmon, and it follows him and his good friend Jeff Davis, his girlfriend Erin, and their Dungeon-Master Spencer, on the Harmontown tour they did last year.
It's very (very) funny, but at the core of it, this is a documentary about a man who hates himself but doesn't want to. Maybe you only know him as the creator of Community, maybe you only know him from articles written by hit-whoring assholes from TMZ and other such rags, or maybe you don't know about him at all. But the film shows the full-spectrum of who Dan is. You'll laugh, you'll shake your head in disapproval,  you'll feel pity, you might even cry.
Dan Harmon says that a Harmenian is a "loving nerd". And a big part of the film is watching people who feel like outsiders, being accepted and being connected to. There's a genuine beauty to it. Dan wants to change, and doesn't want to hate himself, but doesn't think he can, and the verdict may or may not be out on that*, but at the very least there's something really optimistic and hopeful when you see the joy that Dan brings to all these people in all these cities.
So, yeah. If you watch it as an on-tour documentary, it's funny and sad and interesting, and very watchable. And if you're watching it as a character study about Dan and the effect he has on his fans, it's beautiful. (And for me, emotionally cathartic, but like I say, I'm biased).
Either way, well recommended.

*After the screening, we all went to the pub. I got some time with Dan and I asked him, after going on tour and connecting with so many people, and having gotten an objective view of himself from the documentary, if he was finding it easier to accept other people's love (I agree with Bruce Lee that "To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person"). He thought about it for a second, and admitted to himself that, yes, it is getting easier for him. (Then I told him that I love him and we hugged. It was beautiful).

Supplementary note: I got Dan to sign a birthday card for a friend, and we hugged and had a photo taken. And I bought him a pint! I'd gotten everything I'd needed from the evening, and I could have left feeling completely satisfied. But I stuck around for another hour until he had to get back to the tour bus, and just watched him interact with all the people who wanted to get an autograph or a photo or just to connect with him. I think it was the most joyful experience of my life. Watching Dan connect with people, and seeing the effect he has on them and that they have on him, is like watching people opening their christmas presents, and getting exactly what they needed. (I think I added this last note 'cause I feel really defensive about the way he's often portrayed by the media, so if you do decide to watch the documentary, you're open-minded to seeing the good in him.)

Unless there's a "random talk about the podcast" thread that I've missed, I'll put this here:

Sometimes my mp3 player gets glitchy if I don't add files in a really specific way and it does weird stuff like mix up names and running times or plays half of something and finishes with half of something else. And sometimes the play speed bugs out and speeds up. In the latter case, it's done this a couple of times with WAYDM, when Eddie's been on the show. My first thought is always "why does this sound like four chipmunks and one normal guy?"

Loved this episode. These past few seem like they've been really cathartic for Trey.

Next Intermission, can you drop the pretense and just call it "Things That Annoy Trey"?

I watched both of them recently. I think really the main problem is that there is almost no plot. It's just a series of enjoyable (ymmv) moments strung together. Excellent Adventure was kinda fun (and I still have the hots for Joan of Arc), but I was pretty impressed with how dark and unconventional and inventive Bogus Journey is.
You may or may not hate it as an adult, but more likely you'll just realize how little there is to the films.

2001: A Trey's Odyssey.

Kubrick was just a puppet.

You had me at 'hello'.

edit: when non-scientists ask me what I do, I say "biology". but if I'm feeling particularly verbose, I answer "ecology".

Man, American Gangster left me so cold. I dunno why, but it just felt like drinking a cold cup of tea I'd forgotten about. Russell Crowe was great in it though.

This is my first time seeing this thread, and this made me laugh SO hard

I always liked Stannis, 'cause for the most part, he says what he plans to do and why, and then he does it. I find him refreshingly straightforward.

So... Charlie Kaufman.

I know most of you don't like Synecdoche New York (I found the first half alienating, but the second half stunningly brilliant, meself) and you've brought up Adaptation favourably a few times, but I think Being John Malkovich would be an interesting middle ground for you guys to do, with a lot to talk about and dissect.
