I'm probably not going to smash the go public button on this one, but I needed to get this out of my system. I might update it further, might take it down, who knows, let's find out.

I appreciate the use of the term "fabulist". I might start using that myself--allows me to say what I would mean by calling someone a pathological liar without the armchair diagnosis that carries. After all, it doesn't matter why they're always lying, just that they are, in fact, always lying

I'm definitely thinking, at the very least, the parts where you talk about experiences making films (particularly in Canada) and thus explaining why JS is full of crap can be its own video. That is a unique perspective most of the people doing "measured responses" don't have.

I do really hope you make this public! I'm not sure if someone else has mentioned it, but the one thing I noticed was that James seems to say the actual reason Final Girl got scrapped was because Nick read the script and had to break it to him that it was just, utter shit. He apparently wanted to tell him in person specifically?? I guess it's possible Nick just noticed the logistics were all wrong, but it was way funnier to me that apparently the attempt was just so Bad it had to be scrapped entirely, and that wasn't any kind of sign to James of how doable this was.

I imagine that was a lot of their scripts for their shorts & features, they just weren’t that good, but they couldn’t just completely rip off from a book or other movie for something they wanted to take to Sundance or sell, cause they’d really be up a creek with lawsuits, so cancellations abound.

Liking your own comment is such a mood lmao

I've been watching a few responses to the apology, and even people who are wholly against Somerton tend to phrase their responses in a way that gives James some tiny shred of doubt. "This is doesn't make sense, I think he might be making this up, but it's hard to say for certain." And it is very refreshing to come back to this and just see someone say "No, that didn't happen. He is a liar, and he's lying right now."
