My apologies.

I didn't watch The Day After. It seemed boring and for old people. The Road Warrior was more my speed. But the lady who drove me to school everyday watched it and she would tell all of us kids about how any day now the missiles were going to start flying.

Both sides fought plenty of proxy wars in Africa. The Soviets were famously involved in Afghanistan — it was their Vietnam. The Iran-Iraq war was a proxy war. Pretty much every war and civil war in the world during the cold war was a proxy war.

My gradeschool was almost exactly between two airforce bases. My teachers told us there was no point to duck-and-cover because we'd all be vaporized in the first strike.

even worse. Now, their wifi login is admin:12345

I miss Proper Victorian Lady. She loved to faint dead away over stuff like this.

To me, Jason comes off as young and inexperienced, at best. Both inexperienced at being a film-maker and inexperienced at being an adult. Maybe he'll get better at both, maybe he won't. I think he's being truthful as far as that's how he sees things, but I think he lacks the maturity and self-awareness to really look…

I wasn't trying to make excuses for him. He was what he was but the production team appeared to spend more time explaining to the camera what the issues were than they did explaining it to him.

Great interview. This also confirms my suspicions that the Jason-vs-Effie drama was all planned by the brass and they were unwitting patsies. Marc was the evil puppet-master hiding behind his big blue eyes and Awe-Shucks-I-really-wish-everyone-would-just-get-along attitude.

True, but it's not a very measurable marker of success outside of some internal statistical models I'm sure they use. They can't know what people would have done otherwise. And they can't really know if it was Project Greenlight that made the people they think would have left otherwise decide to stay. It's all guess…

A poor showrunner amibugeneds us all.

Well, I just finished Mathew, Mark, Luke and John and I have to say it was a total cheat. By having him come back to life after the crucifixion, they are essentially saying that death doesn't matter and there are no consequences for declaring yourself King of the Jews.

Someone had to.

Wait, Jesus Christ isn't dead? I haven't finished the Gospels yet, asshole.

Didn't he used to work for the Nixon administration?

He's getting better.

That header photo works well if you imagine them all moving rhythmically to the opening baseline of Thriller.

"a better way to have handled it at the time probably would have been to give Jason a choice between doing a more elaborate stunt and having money left for reshoots"

She did. Also talking about character arcs is what you do when editing.

Obviously a reference to Skins.
