I hope it isn't used against you in the end, because it will mean I will publish more long stuff (and I have tons). This paper is an aberration, but an experiment as well in terms of new media "papers," but I can't believe the first 8 pages won't put most people to sleep, it is the traditional I need to quote theorists and explain them rather than weaving their ideas into a bigger whole. I think everything in the first part could have been far more concise and textured by laying it on top (or side-by-side) with the film discussions. This was just the easiest way to lay it all out, but certainly no the best. But anyway, thanks for the kind words, and you're a nut if you read it :) Frankly, I think you’re all masochists, but thanks for the encouragement.

I heart American Studies. It's going to take me a few days to find a block of time to read this piece, but it looks very interesting. Thanks so much for sharing it here!

I remember you writing this thing as well as your panel. Great stuff then, great stuff now. The media enhancements work very nicely. Will reread and engage. Oh wow.

Mostly because I am predicting I will disagree with you on a lot of it. And that excites me to no end.

Another amazing reason this is the publishing medium of the future to me. If all articles read like a production I'd be thrilled -- remixing is the new composition.
