Helmet Head

Hello again dear readers, I hope everyone’s having a wonderful summer so far.

Having to snark on fresh Funky for the first time since December of ’22 is already getting to me. And it’s only Wednesday. But it gives me a chance to reconnect with you all, the long-suffering readers and unsalaried but dedicated team members. I mainly lurk on SoSF lately, but it does me good to see comments from old regulars and more recent commenters.

So many interesting things we learned this week as we travelled through the fever dream that is current era Crankshaft.

Within 11 Months

The DVD version of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith has a 75-minute feature called Within A Minute. Its purpose is to illustrate how much work went into producing one minute of the finished movie. It starts with the statistics: 910 people put 70,441 man-hours into this one minute. Then it shows a huge, three-dimensional chart of the hierarchy of these people. It reminded me of the “code” scene in Wreck-It Ralph.
