I really, really should know better by now than to respond to some article or something by commenting in the message boards. Especially when the site in question is CHUD.com, of all places.
Fucking head reviewer called Harvey Dent "a bland character" and Two-Face "a generic villain" (The character, not Eckhart's portrayal, which he says elevated it above the source material). Fucker.
And now, of course, I've quickly found myself embroiled in a back and forth between myself and... well, the kinds of people who would regularly post on the CHUD.com message boards. I really should just let it go, not go back there, ignore them and let the matter die.
... GAHHHH!!! HOLD ME BACK, BOYS! *flails violently*
On the plus side, I just got an e-mail from Mike Daisey, whose show MONOPOLY! was a huge inspiration for me, and one of the very best solo shows I have ever seen. He's planning on coming to see THE HEFNER MONOLOGUES: HOW HEFNERIAN, which is fucking awesome, but also more than a little intimidating.
I'd kinda prefer he see the show after I've had, like, a year to develop and hone it rather than its rough premiere run. But then, if he has any insight, that could help give said development a shot in the arm.
This is the good kind of terrified.

I'd hurry up, though! They sometimes take a couple of days, and even besides, they're out in, like, Elkridge. It's a bit of a hike. But then again, if you request them to send it to you via UPS, they're super-speedy (I'm doing this all rather close to the wire that I'm just gonna drive out there today, yuck).
