Unnecessary sets. Undeniably bad Kubrick scenes. The EWS controversy. Kubrick casting. David Lynch story telling. One billion takes. Michael is still sore about the Happening. Building a dream atmosphere. 3 SENTENCE DREAM THEORY. Saul Williams. The infamous sex party. Missing: male nudity! The most offensive thing Michael has said yet. Good slow zoom. Seamless flashbacks. Why Eric saw it coming. Voiceover. Eye-rolling teenage philosophy. We’re only human. Why people do bad things. The ZEP. Ethics. Murder: still wrong. Using a parallel situation to make you question your feelings. Eric’s mall jobs and sex life. Is satanism real?
