I loved hearing Darryll talk himself from the-movie-wasn't-very-good into a four-star review.

I know! Note my surprise.

Judging by our reviews, I expected to have the higher grade.

In other news: I really enjoyed reviewing comics again. It was done entirely without notes and completely off the cuff. And I barely even edited that portion too.

Hey! I didn't talk myself into anything. Well, okay. I kinda' did.

But quality and fun don't always have to go together. They can be enjoyed separately. This one was definitely a Fun > Quality situation. My rating reflected this. I also wanted to give points for the obvious passion exhibited by the filmmakers. They were drunk on film and it showed in nearly every frame. Fun > Craft. It's a nebulous zone but they inhabited it with gusto.
