Really? Whoa. You must have seen Meet Dave in St. Clairsville. I'm guessing. It's the closest theater. Damn. I almost had a random Crow encounter. Wheeling West Virginia? Really? Whoa.

You must have seen Meet Dave in St. Clairsville. I’m guessing. It’s the closest theater.

Damn. I almost had a random Crow encounter.

Of course the Rifftrax/commentary format could work fine for that. I think if the studio had clue one they'd hire you three to put the commentary on the DVDs, maybe even with the silhouettes-as-subtitle-track like they did for the original Ghostbusters DVD (in an homage/blatant rip off of MST). For some reason, seeing the heads of the people talking is better, I guess just like it's better to have the character w/ dialog on-screen.

For a movie like this, they say "screenwriters Bill & Rob" -- but then there are all the other guys that are brought in to "fix" things. I think those other guys should also get credit. Do it on a per-scene basis. "You know that joke which fell flat 14 minutes into the movie? That was written by Alfred X. Remember his name, "Alfred X", for the next time you need a screen writer to fix up someone else's movie script..." One thing I wonder about.
