That is a fascinating way of putting it. The movie is supposed to celebrate Weird Al Yankovic, but you point out that because Daniel Radcliffe is playing the part, Weird Al is secondary. A large portion of the audience will associate the songs with Radcliffe, utterly destroying the whole point. Maybe the drive will change to be an attempt to put Radcliffe in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame with no irony whatsoever.

It seems that many can't take congratulations for an answer. They seem to either want more or feel that they have become invincible. This is why a good comeuppance is so satisfying to watch, I guess, but what a waste of straight out good fortune.

It's really disappointing that climate change had to progress as far as it has before all off these great advancements in renewable energy, harvesting water from ambient humidity, etc have really started to take off. I wonder where we would be now if the urgency had truly been accepted a decade ago.

Congratulations. Having achieved a PhD in what seems a very specialized field, I am disheartened that it took 46 applications to get there, but the result will make that inconvenience just disappear from memory. I hope you get to take part in something ground-breaking at least once in your career, and make things better for everybody.
