Skeptical Inquirer (in an article not yet available online) mentioned the film uses the same structure as a pro-psudoscience doc. Lone visionary against the closed minded establishment, that kind of thing. However, the art world has no problem with his views in reality, one reason there aren't really any interviews with art experts in the film Great film about obsession, but be skeptical about the attempt to put it into context. It does things like compare a Vermeer painting to one done 500 years earlier, implying they're contemporary.

Having put my stories up online, I can relate to the confusion of reader/listener numbers. They often make little sense, and can send your ego into unhealthy gyrations. I still think Patreon is a way to go, especially as you do have a core audience of a few hundred. Even with just a handful of episodes a year, it would help pay for the forum.

Don't I know it. We're having an aglet party tonight.

Do a documentary about making Documentality

I've always thought someone should collect the various Trey stories and put them together. A special "Trey Tales" episode or something.

I have to admit, the last batch of commentaries did seem a bit like wrapping things up. Finally doing all of Trey's recommendations. I have slowly dropped movie podcasts from my listening list, but DIF always stayed. Now I'm left with just How Did This Get Made. I'm also bombed that various web comics I enjoy have or will end as well.

And my sister is now unemployed for the first time in her life. Puts the minor stuff in perspective.

I'll be waiting for whatever you do next. As you have the equipment and experience, maybe consider renting it out to friends who want to put something online. And, of course, let Eddie do whatever he wants.

That just means the frame was willing.

Local DJ's used to have a reporter from The Star as a guest. She made the observation that no matter how beautiful or intelligent someone was, there probably at that moment was a person who was tired of fucking them.

First, I couldn't tell that was a link until I quoted it just now

Second, I just deleted my reply. Instead I'll ask if NOVA is a documentary series, or an educational film series. I need to get our definitions straight

Bible scholar Richard Price once wrote that he thought TOHO should do a Revelations movie, as their experience with Godzilla would come in handy. Plus, given how the Japanese usually interpret Christian theology, few in the US would know it had anything to do with their faith

Most of what I'd like to see adapted could have been adapted at any point. You could easily do The Belgariad on a 1980's BBC budget, for example. It would look cheap, but it would work. If nothing else it would be forced to focus on the characters.

What I'd like to see are more historical/war films. The kind they stopped making in the 70's. A remake of Midway, for example. Or just a good American Revolution film. Actually, what I'd love to see is a film about Taffy 3's heroics in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. The bulk of the Japanese surface fleet, including the Yamato, was driven off by 6 escort carriers and 7 destroyers and escorts. The Japanese assumed they were facing the main US fleet, acting accordingly, and with suicidal torpedo runs the US managed to send them fleeing.
