When I love a piece of entertainment, I love that piece of entertainment. I will probably ride alongside it through the gates of hell. And for the first few weeks after I’ve first encountered it, my friends and readers and coworkers will hear a lot about said piece of entertainment.

My latest obsession is Director’s Cut. Not sci-fi, but cult-y and off-the-beaten-path enough that it may well appeal to the geek set.

It’s also written and headlined by stage magician and social mythbuster Penn Jillette as part of a passion project. He fell in love with the “found footage” works of Adam Rifkin (the director of Look). Jillette wanted to team up with Rifkin to make his own work in that vein. He – Penn, that is – also wanted to play the villain.
