My big question, which I was hesitant to ask yesterday but for which time has apparently given me courage, is how you feel about comparisons between the Gable film and things like Cloverfield or The Blair Witch Projects. I enjoyed the Gable film, and it was disquieting by its randomness (the lack of sound didn't hurt either).
In general, I'm curious to see how having considered the evidence will affect my reading of the book. Which then makes me wonder about whether any potential limited editions might have the evidence incorporated in some way...
In re: junk, Michael Pollan makes the very good point in The Omnivore's Dilemma that much of what lines grocery store aisles is not actually food, even if it may look like it at first glance. It's one or possibly even two generations removed from actual cut-from-the-cow or plucked-from-the-soil. Much the same could be said for the literary candy bar.
