Spielberg's film A.I. had a similar origin story. It started off with Kubrick, who spent 20 years trying to make it. He kept bouncing ideas off Spielberg via fax to move things forward. He even proposed Spielberg actually direct while he'd produce, which, to his credit, Spielberg said no to (he considered it Kubrick's project). Then Kubrick died and his widow pointed out to Spielberg that he was the only way his friend Stanley's movie was ever going to get made. At best, the resulting film is a minor, thoughtful classic, equal parts idealistic and cynical. Certainly was never a big hit...but it got made. And that was just because of people who loved Kubrick.

If nothing else, I want to thank you for revealing the title of a movie I’ve wanted to know for nearly 30 years. To explain, as a child, my school district had a catalog of after school programs on a variety of subjects, in this case sound editing or as I later learned was known as foley work. Each student was given a short clip to add sound effects to, and we got to keep our results on a floppy disk. My clip, I now know, came from this film, where a lizard man seated in a turret adjusts position and fires lightning at an apeman. I lost the disk long ago but I never forgot the experience but could never find the source of the clip. Thank you again for revealing the answer to one of the tiny little mysteries of my childhood.

And even if I could, if anyone would see it or care. And here Bob is whinging about how he *deserves* to be the next Peter Jackson or James Gunn, while being nothing more or less than a decently popular *KZbinr* who could easily have a steady paycheck and be doing pretty well for himself if he'd just keep to the same schedule of uploads he had at The Escapist, instead of wasting time wallowing in pretension and feeling sorry for himself. All without the self awareness that Jackson, Gunn and David Allen have more raw talent in their little fingers than Bob (or I, or any failed creative with a chip on their shoulder, frankly) has in his whole body.

This is kind of anecdotal but given what you brought up about David Allen I wanted to share it with you: I just saw this movie called TUESDAY (the A24 movie with Julia Louie Dreyfus where Death is a macaw) that signs off with a message about how the "real" afterlife is the legacy a person leaves behind and how we honor/remember them when they're gone. It's kinda serendipitous to hear that message and now hear the story of David Allen "beating death", knowing that he and his work were so beloved that his friends/colleagues honored it by finishing this movie and releasing it. It's genuinely inspiring to see it. That's the kind of legacy one could really aspire to.

This video feels, more than anything, inevitable. Given your preferences in video games and movies, and your preferred style of video and general mindset, your work overlaps with both James Rolfe and Dan Olson to various degrees, not in an unoriginal way, just in the organic way that people with similar tastes sometimes resemble one another. That a work *by* Dan Olson commenting *on* James Rolfe would inspire some powerful feelings seems only natural, considering. I imagine a *lot* of people are feeling some stuff from it, myself included. I don't imagine many of us here are exactly where we want to be in life, or where we imagined ourselves being at our current ages. But it gives me hope to see you out there, still trying your damnedest. And for what it's worth, I'd say you're one of the best film critics working today.

This is only tangential, but I ultimately came out of "I don't know James Rolfe" feeling mildly positive about James. I felt that Dan's criticisms were absolutely fair, and from there I tried to re-evaluate whether James had ever done good work. The answer was yes. I think James, for all his limitations, is NOT some hack-job who faked his way to victory. What he lacks in creativity he makes up for in character building. And that's before we get into Board James, which I could write an essay on why it's probably his best work. We don't know James Rolfe, but we always knew he was fun to watch

I'm gonna have to get "The Primevals" as part of my film collection, since that kinda stuff is my jam thanks to my older brother, who instilled in me an appreciation for schlocky stuff like it.

As it turns out, timing of Dan Olson’s James Role video really helped give this video, didn’t it Bob? Good work, I can tell you were really affected by all of this.
