'non-fiction' an aubobiography?

Both fiction and non are wonderful stories. I believe the second part is a partial autobiography of Solondz childhood growing up in suburan New Jersey, and no coincidence that Scooby and Solondz are both vegetarians. I wonder though, was Scooby really gay, or just letting that guy do what he did because he knew it would not please his parents?

I really felt for Consuela, I actually cried when she got fired and was crying about her grandson on death row. I heard a lot of comments that this wasn't as good as his earlier work. I think it's just as good. Happiness will always be my fave, but Storytelling was no dissapointment. Todd is becoming one of my favorite film makers, 2nd to only John Waters.

I think it was part autobiography in a sense that he as a film maker is just as guilty as the guy who made American Movie. I believe that's why it's also connected to the first part Fiction.

I think Scooby just didn't really care and a blow job's a blow job.

I also think this is just as good as Happiness, Dollhouse and Palindromes, the problem was it felt too short. I remember gasping when it was over because I wasn't expecting it to be. Now I'm used to it and it doesn't bother me.

...even in a valley without mountains the wind could still blow.
