I selected the film from a load of badly-suggested movies that NetFlix figured I’d love (based on my enjoyment of Ken Burns’. 8212; a really odd extrapolation). I did. Love it, in spite of my expectations. (Have I even seen. I sure don’t remember liking it.).

Scott Ellington's Blog. Just another WordPress.com weblog. It’s the story of a guy who thinks shit up. That alone is a fabulous talent. Even more remarkable is his gift for finding ways to execute/realize the shit he thinks up. The ability to think it then translate it into a thing that actually works — that.

TRAINWRECK has a perfect example of a False Loop! Saw TRAINWRECK last night. It’s not very good. Sadly. It’s very funny, but it doesn’t work as a movie. One reason: it’s boring. The second reason is that the lead character, Amy, is so reprehensible and unpleasant to be around that, in the end, I wished I’d not spent any time with her at all. Probabl...

The upside is the overwhelming torrent of conspicuous intelligence (and skewy emotional [Disnoid] propaganda) that totally tips the balance in favor of a fascinating adventure in the future of storytelling.
