This is great! He addresses so many of the arguments we've seen brought up over and over again by the movie's apologists. Thank you so much for this!

How many interviews did we do? Because this is awesome!

Like I said, if you ever get an MP3 or video I can put it up on YouTube.

Speaking of YouTube, I thought you would like to know that I had all intentions of putting the SDCC up on there. I even had the video edited together nicely. Unfortunately, the Mac I was on completely crapped out and would not let me save or export the film. So now today I have to go into the city and edit/publish the film all over again! Fun! Not. -,-;

It's been driving me nuts because not only do I want to get it done but I also have a pretty big announcement that is full of amazingly awesome good news that I want to also announce when the video goes up. Just keeping it to myself has been driving me crazy for weeks!

...Dammit, why'd you have to go and say that? Now it's gonna drive ME crazy! XD

Anyways, cool interview!

Maybe I'm wrong, but "...answers you questions!"? Is that right?

[jedifreac]

Yeah. Typo. Thanks!
