HUBRIS CONTEST:
John shouted into his megaphone, sending the entire set scrambling. He was in command. He was a god, and “Flesh Would Melt” was his creation, his masterpiece finally springing to life.
Even amidst the commotion, there was a still part of John’s mind that was not occupied by the calculating of f-stops or picking out of wallpaper patterns. He thought of the first time he’d seen Hamlet performed, wondering at the rapturous applause, and thinking to himself that if he had been in charge, he would have done better.
Almost exactly one year later, John’s film premieres to universal vilification.
