Yeah, for reals. I'm psyched that John wanted to do a commentary, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Squiggly, that was fascinating. Sting comes across as a bit of a bitch, but at the end of the day, the music was great.

What was funny is, it took twenty minutes for me to hear a song from the "first" version of the movie that worked at all. All of the music was bloodless and funless until we heard the song Izma was going to have. Most of the fun of the music that resulted was actually in the arrangement and, of course, in Tom Jones. The bombastic, the fun, the flapping horns running up and down the scale...that's the stuff that makes the music kick for me, and there wasn't a lot of that coming from Sting's chair, from what I could tell.

Fun point of comparison, also, because I've spent a lot of the last few years really fascinated with musicals and the guys who write them. I think a lot of what I didn't respond to in much of Sting's stuff is simply the difference between a guy who writes for albums and a guy who writes for stage. Different schools of thought, and some folks can handle the transition (Elfman, pick a song off Only a Lad and pick a song from Nightmare and you guy "yup, this guy has two skillsets." Mileage obviously varies on Elfman, but, for instance.) and some seem to have trouble grasping it.

Anyway. Very interesting watch, and fucking more power to them, because The Emperor's New Groove is still my favorite Disney movie.

Probably not, no. I'd be spending my time trying to safely determine what the hell happened and why I lived. Hazard a glance or two out the upstairs window to see what the world looks like, and hopefully divine what I'd be dealing with outside. Fallout? Fire? Winter? Zombies? Then use the information I have to MacGyver together the best protective clothing I can, and make a sprint for somewhere better for the long haul. If I made it there okay and a few days later I didn't show obvious signs of damage from the trip, then I'd start thinking in terms of finding other people.

Max didn't do the protective clothing thing, and it was foolish of him to come back home instead of just stay where the food was, but he had a fish and a musical to worry about.

Did I just get compared to Joss Whedon and David Tennant within 24 hours?

Ha! Well, Sad Max is my second musical. It's just the first one I filmed. There's a whole movie and soundtrack that doesn't technically exist right now, but is a real thing.

I'm probably gonna do more, just not on any sort of pre-programmed basis. I can tell you that I got more out of Max than I thought I would, and am energized and feel re-assured to try another one.

*shrug*

I don't expect this to ingratiate us particularly well to anyone who's a hardcore Joss fan, because, yeah, we just know what we know. This isn't a lecture series or anything. It disappoints me that people couldn't set aside their nerd rage to enjoy the conversation for what it was, but I don't blame anyone. If I listened to some folks do a thirty minute podcast on balloon animals and they got some facts wrong, I guess I'd be - well, I wouldn't really care, but I'd be miffed-ish. Because balloons are important to me.

So, like I said, *shrug.* I forgot Whedonesque was a thing and that this would end up there - and I'm glad it did! - but this obviously was not geared towards the Whedonesque audience.
