It's here! It's here! The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon
I've loved this since it premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2008.
Film, technology, fun.

When we tell them that the new OS is faster and better, only to have the upgrade break a piece of software that we don’t care about but they really do, we burn our likelihood that they’ll ever willingly upgrade again. Every time we tell them that they can now easily edit video or make DVDs, only to have them abandon their first effort in frustration and never attempt it again because our software sucks, we drive them closer to indifference or resentment toward future technology.
So when our nontechnical aunts refuse to upgrade from their Pentium III PCs with Windows 98 that work well enough for them and are set up exactly how they prefer, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
The upgrade market for average PC owners is dead. We killed it.

I saw Stingray Sam for the third time this weekend and it was every bit as much fun as the first. The Fantastic Fest crowd was a natural fit for this space cowboy musical and I'm sure they'll be buying the DVD when it comes out in a few weeks. This short film, Reno, was mentioned during the Q&A so I sought it out. Another fun song from McAbee and the screen debut of his daughter Willa, who has a much larger part in Stingray Sam.
