I watched The Truman Show the other night. Now, this is a fatally flawed movie. Firstly, why go to all the effort of mimicking the real world? You could have put Truman into any self-consistent context you could think up and he wouldn’t have questioned it. (This includes Buffy!) So why even let him know that an outside world existed? Stupid, stupid, stupid.

But even if you accept the flawed premise of the movie, the rest of it still doesn’t make a lot of sense. I remember when I first discovered you all were actors playing roles for my amusement. Did I go nuts and steal a boat and almost drown myself? No. I just started making up stupid jokes and seeing how many of you would pretend to be amused by them. I must say… you’re all very good.

Begone… no, don’t… okay, go… my little actors,
