Haven't seen either documentary, but absolutely loved the episode, the framing, having Jessica's input on the films, everything about it. Bummed I couldn't be there.

Did I not notice it being different because that's exactly what conversations are like hanging out takling with film people in LA? Yeah probably.

Would be so down for the show to have occasional guests that are either from production on a couple movies, an expert in a field that has been covered in different ways by different films, or general format experimentations.

Meghan and I saw it, both thought it kicked ass.

It functions best as a piece of film history, or non-history, the subject at hand isn't really this movie that never got made, or that the concept art is cool, but Jodorowsky himself and how the production echoes thorughout the cinematic landscape today.

I think Alex harbors a secret resentment to this film as my shouty reactions to it ruined his post-Stokes-donut-coma-nap.

Not the bees.

As an aurbservant third party, everything is sounding great and the wait's worth it.

Brands and characters and franchises are easily mined for value with minimal marketing reinforcement. In a lot of cases they already have traction in the minds of at least one generation.

Keep something around long enough to have that generation introduce it to their children, you've successfully woven your franchises into the fabric of the culture and duped the entire world in to thinking Star Wars and fifty year old superheroes are interesting or relevant ad infinitum.

...I'm not bitter.

And you're allowed to not buy it. They're guidelines. To the opinion of the panel, a story's focus and the audience's suspension of disbelief becomes strained when it's pulled in too many directions. Personally, it doesn't distract me. In a thematic way, in a movie about the reciprocal relationship between an individual, their environment, and their ability to change it, TK totally fits.

And speaking of opinions of how things are put together, your syntax and 100 character line breaks are pretty inscrutable. What gives? It's like you paste all your posts out of a hostile vim buffer.

Everything I want to say's in that hulk piece. Dude's unreasonably articulate. The mystery and the procedure was always a fun device, but was never what the show was about.

It's not beholden to a conditioned audience that assumed it was all for some other end. Deserves it's own merits.
