[clip to come once the HBO website works]
I have been watching clips, downloading interviews, reading articles, and saving pictures for a while (my boredom + their greatness). They are such the best. Actually I don't want them to really get a huge HBO TV series renewed season deal. I like that FotC is just one of the things they do, like it's just a little piece on the side of their normal lives. Their low-key unaffected-ness is one of the reasons they're so best. I don't want them to really commit to any part of the American media machine and get all worked over. Too bad they couldn't have gotten a TV deal in New Zealand. I mean it's good for me, b/c the HBO TV series was how I found out about them, but it feels weird to know there's a media circus developing around these two sweet, rather reserved guys. They shouldn't be nailed down to any one contract when this is obviously not the only thing they've got going.
Actually with Bret's interview and Neil Gaiman's blog post in mind, I feel bad that low-key people who never asked for the fame their outrageous levels of talent invite get their lives rearranged in ways they're uncomfortable with. If only they weren't so amazing and nice and approachable! And if only people were more respectful and not so ravenous for famous-person interaction. Or something. Conjunction junction, what's your function!?
Side note: I don't understand how people can be FotC fans and have no sense of humor. Or a brain for that matter. Forums in particular like to beat a really throwaway comment to death, aka COMPLETELY MISS THE POINT. Do people enjoy being offended or something? Why would that be your first reaction to things that you're a fan of? It makes me think that they're actively trying to be obtuse. Also, in general, famous people don't owe you ANYTHING except the performance of their job and basic human decency. End of story, good night.
