thank you very much for your hard work, cant wait to see it, it is crawling at 20Kbps, anyone have a bit-torrent? over 3 hours to finish. yeah, I never understood that whole patient thing. I think the bit-torrent thing would be a better idea... yeah it went up to 34Kbps now only a bit over 2 hours!

stupid me did not see your using freecache.org it sounds like it sends it to the isp and the isp keeps it in the cache, nice idea...

I'm giving freecache a try. Given enough demand for the videos, freecache should start caching the files, which will ease my bandwidth woes a bit. My server is still being hit pretty hard, though, so I don't think the caching has quite kicked in yet.

well I have it on Edonkey/mule whatever now, 256k upload, please share.

I sense a dogmatic shift in this, your latest production. The fast-paced action (which you even acquired new equipment to explore further) has been replaced by more in-depth portraits of the people involved. Perhaps you're moving away from the Tarantino approach to a more close-up and personal style resembling that of Jean-Jacques Annaud and Kieslowsi?

That said, I was equally amused and repulsed by the Eric Carlson montage. I see he's still his alter world-contemptuous, antiestablishmentarian and derogative ego. Well, who's in a hurry to grow up anyway?

Summa summarum, it was well worth the download.

Just trying to give the people what they want. I do it to help people feel better about themselves. Nothing makes you feel big like looking down on somebody. It's fun to let people participate in their own manipulation. Hopefully this time nobody will be masturbating to the video.

Eric:

I'm fairly convinced that your concerns in this regard are entirely in vain.

I see he's still his alter world-contemptuous, antiestablishmentarian and derogative ego.

Okay, I'll give you this one, although I doubt Eric was every trying to get labeled antiestablishmentarian. However, the next line in your post offends me to the depth of by deepest bowels:

Well, who's in a hurry to grow up anyway?

I would argue that anybody who has truly matured must, by definition, be contemptuous of this world. Have you ever seen a cute little baby? They are all happy. Do you know why? They haven't figured out what is going on yet. In contrast, the matured hobo, sleeping under some bridge is not happy, because he has matured.

In contrast, the matured hobo, sleeping under some bridge is not happy, because he has matured.

I'd have guessed he was unhappy because he was sleeping under a bridge, but that's just me.

I don't think that unhappiness is equivalent to disillusion. I think one can be disillusioned without being unhappy (one "knows what's going on" and is ok with it). I also think one can be unhappy without being disillusioned.

Perhaps if one is disillusioned and unhappy, one is as-yet unadjusted to this world, and thus immature. I can understand the desire to convince one's self that this unhappiness is a symptom of maturity, rather than a personal problem.

I think he's referring to Late Night with Barry and Eric which featured both Eric and dancing, but not Eric doing the dancing.

Actually, he was probably referring to the fact that The Shaving: Episode II got linked by a shaving fetishist site. He alludes to that incident in part of his offensive montage ("I'm an Internet pornography star in the weird gay fetish pornography...").

...that I was joking around.

But seriously, I am truly saddened at the state of the world, and I think everybody should be. I would go so far as to say that if you are not saddened by life, you are either too stupid to notice, or you are not paying attention.

Oh, never mind. Everybody is too busy either grazing or breathing with their mouth open to notice.

I assume you doubt my sincerity when I ask that question? I certainly am not personally in a hurry to grow up, if that's any reconciliatory factor at all. I'm also aware that Eric consistently purports to act the way he does merely in the interest of the public. As he himself puts it:

Nothing makes you feel big like looking down on somebody.

He is certainly the expert in that respect, so I'll take his word for it.

we will be expecting a full length movie. :-D

For the next pie trip, I'm driving fifteen miles to Banning's 24-hour Restaurant and Pie House. Screw this road trip shit.

Or you could claim you're going, then cancel it for reasons over which you have no control and seem really sorry. Then people would make you pies, and you wouldn't even have to drive to Tigard or wherever Banning's abides.
