"Cage gets top billing! His name first!"
"Cage has to be in the middle!"
"ALL the names are wrong with ALL the faces!"
"YOU wanna call the agents?"
"Just make Cage bigger!"
"Cusack's face has to be same size, it's in the contract!"
"Get Meany in there, too, he's great in this."
"Oh for fucksake ..."

I so love how the billing of the cast forces the wrong name above each actor's face and I wonder how many conversations studio marketing people had about that and the final call was "oh ffs just do it."

Ha, excellent. Had em all and still have some.

Love that they brought the cover palettes together like that, they look like parts of a whole.

Got a real nice acceptance on a short today. And it's one of my nastier stories I thought might be a long shot. Never self-reject, folks.

A fun story with an exceedingly well-named main character.

I consider this a failed exercise. I failed. This only scratches, nay not even scratches, it lightly brushes the surface and is probably less about best than it is about favorite and also reveals a lot. No LAST JEDI what kind of film snob am I.

Your list here is exactly why I don't think I could whittle it down. Jeez...

The more times I saw Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger as a kid the less I cared there was Sinbad, an Eye, and a Tiger in the film.

...Every bit of it feels simultaneously relatable and absurd, like we’ve all experienced stories like this, but not like this, these are his. I hope Seibel writes 500 more. 2/2

A brilliant collection. Each short is a sharp shot of emotion. You won’t know which emotion til the end, and then it’s time for a new story, a new emotion ... 1/2
