Just finished episode 4.

Good so far. Recommendation to try it.

Dr. Horrible was.

Hahahahahaha.

You just gave me an idea wherein the people from 2044 just start reverse-looping and throwing all their shit into the future, and the people in the future are all panicky about the bodies that keep appearing everywhere, hijinks ensue. Directed by Harold Ramis.

Yeah. Not posturing, I buy it.

I hadn't paid attention to Armond White until this past hour, which I've spent reading several of his reviews (starting with Precious - thanks Bullet - and on to Django and others) and his Wiki article.

Well. Now I know. Alrighty.

I have to admit, his ability to remark upon an insight is impressive. How insightful he actually is is something I have yet to sort out, I'd need a lot more context, but he described Samuel L. Jackson's role in Django as atavistic, an analogy that, frankly, dazzled me.

I'm certainly not on team White over here, I'm not throwing him under the bus... honestly, as of right now, I find him to be an interesting case. (And now I'm super curious about what I'd find in his book.)

I suddenly imagine a documentary juxtaposing Ebert and White. Between this and that "The Empire Strikes Back Sucked" clip the other day, the proper intention of film criticism has been on my mind lately, and I wonder how much of my preference for one style is simply ignorance of the other.

Very cool.

My Little Pony, everyone.

Another thing that would be cool to add to this is the glossary.

Hey, a dude in a t-shirt and jeans.

I can't take credit for the Max Headroom reference, but I wish I could.

No, it was literally that I had been working on this for months, and was holding off on putting up the poster until I had a title. When I was in production, and had shot the teasers, and was ready to post them... I needed a name, and Sad Max was the one I liked best in the ten minutes I spent making a decision.

It had a bunch of temp names along the way, but none were good. (The Musical at the End of the Internet.) End of the day, "Sad Max" is an easy abstraction to remember, so fuck it. That was also when his name became "Max." True story.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the kind words.

Well, at least someone did.

Look at his stupid face.
