No surprise that the film's a mess, but I can forgive James Gunn for writing it, partly because when he got hired to be sole writer of the sequel, he said something along the lines of "Great! I can correct all of the mistakes I made on the first one!" I'm inordinately fond of the guy: for his Troma work, for Dawn of the Dead (of course -- in fact I think the original Dawn is a little overrated and uneven, though I loved Night of the Living Dead), and for having the good taste to be married to that adorable Jenna Fischer of The Office. I still haven't seen Slither, but people I trust really liked it...
I hope you have more Invader Zim waiting to get the Scooby Doo out of your head.
Now to comment on you-stuff:
When did you have a chance to write that song? And how will Hidden Variables be made available -- on-line sales, or will it hit stores? I'll admit I'd like to hear more of your poetry and songwriting, so I was wondering how much (if any) of that you've done in the past few years.
And I don't claim to understand MySpace, either. It's certainly not a welcoming place to me.
