INFINITE JEST Note #1 [7.19.09]
I like the fact that Wallace spends so much time sharing with you where a character comes from in nearly layman terms.  He doesn’t try to talk above you or confound you with his characters, he wants you to understand where they are coming from, and he does this by going into long discussions of these people’s habits and addictions.  I like that, and that’s what good character...

SyFy rebranding Ad →
This, for me, is great advertising. The whole thing just seems really fun and nice, and immediately after watching it I wanted to be a part of it. And that is what makes it a great ad, because I feel like I want to be a part of that world the new rebranding inhabits.
