The thing that amazes (and angers) me about this whole thing is that Shia keeps apologizing for "forgetting" to credit Clowes, but still has yet to apologize for the act of plagiarism itself. I guess he seems to think that if only he had thrown in the credit of "based on" or "inspired by" and then included Daniel Clowes in the credits, then there's no harm, no foul. The problem is that wouldn't have solved the issue of Shia's name being erroneously listed in the writing credits and the fact that he was never given permission to legally adapt the material in the first place. Why is this not being addressed?

It would be like me stealing music originally composed by Teague and claiming I wrote it. Then, when everyone cries foul, I simply go, "Sorry, I forgot to add Teague's name to the credits of this piece. I fucked up," when the real issue is that I didn't ask Teague if I could have/use it and that I put my name anywhere near the "creator" credit. sure, maybe Teague originally wrote it for the piano but my deciding to perform it on a Moog does not then make me the sole composer.

Yes, but I was late to the marathon and so I missed it! I WANT TO SEE!!!

But otherwise, the middle schoolers are living in sin!

Trey is correct. The Fair Use episode is pretty much all you would need on the subject.

The Road Trip is impossible to find on YouTube. Twice now, I've had to go directly to Teague's channel.

Anyway, when I showed it to my Mom, she thought it was awesome/hilarious. I've sent it to friends and it's made an impression as well. Today, I showed it to the rest of my family and they loved it.

I think Derek and Zarban are the best parts of the short. In fact, when my Mom first watched it, she didn't realize they were being played by the same person. She thought they really were twins.

"John Pavlich is a saint!" has been quoted back to me quite a bit. I know one friend who specifically asked for a shirt to be made. When I told my Sister about it, she got all excited about the idea and my Brother-In-Law thinks it would be great if the shirt and video were to become viral.

I'm just proud to have been a part of something so unique and fun!

I'm cool with this music. I also liked the adventurous music, too but the mix was imbalanced in that cut and sometimes, the more bombastic elements of that score drowned out the dialogue.

I think that's a little unfair. They like other Hitchcock works like Psycho and Rear Window. Clearly, Hitchcock isn't what they have a problem with, but Vertigo, specifically.
