Daniel Boyd (1066 KP) created a post

I don't normally make a post when a celebrity dies, but with Stan 'The Man' Lee passing away, I feel like I owe that man too much not to pay my respects.
If you work in the creative industry, you will know that there are certain people, whom without, you would not be the creator that you are today. For me, Stan Lee was one of my main inspirations. He pioneered an entire genre of entertainment and I have grown up reading and watching his creations. I can honestly say without him, there is a good chance that I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today and I don't think that there will be another person as important or inspiring as him in my lifetime.


RIP Stan.
Excelsior!


'Nuff Said.

Impossible to categorise documentary turns out to be impossible to predict, too. Starts off looking like a fairly conventional documentary, complete with celebrity interviewees (Penn Jilette, Weird Al Yankovich, etc) and archive footage, but very soon the narrative of the documentary takes a hard left turn and becomes something totally unexpected.

Sort of a commentary on and deconstruction of the current golden age of documentary feature film making, but also a genuinely intriguing puzzle box of a film. It stops being about the putative subject and becomes a documentary about what it means to make documentaries. The director starts to question everything that's going on and I did, too. Maybe it doesn't have the big reveal at the end I was expecting, but it's still fascinating, thought-provoking, and often very funny.
