There is a lot to say about this Charlie Kaufman bit. It is indubitably Haute, structurally resonant with flicks like I am Not There and Mulholland Drive, with enough layers, metafictions, mixed identities and inexplicabilities to keep you busy for its whole 2+ hour run-time . Certainly if you blazed to those two post-modern twisty-turnies, [...]
There I sat, jaw hanging, blue-and-red 3D glasses [edit: 4D glasses] clinging to my face, gaping at the pages of Grant Morrison’s Superman add-on to the Final Crisis “Event”.

I’m standing right at the soundboard barricade in the middle of the tent. Hyde from that 70’s show is in there with extra festival workers. The Cure is playing in [...]
I don’t read comic books; At least I didn’t. But, there I was at the worlds largest Comic Convention. We were filming an interview with Scott McCloud.
