NP: Sometimes I wonder

[Rich Clavey]

Not to mention that comedy is probably the most difficult medium to work with, there being such a wide range of what anyone thinks is "funny". I only viewed the trailer once and thought it was inspired. Guess I'll have to take a look at it again if William disliked it so much.

Gibson expresses hyperbolic enthusiastic praise about the trailer from a
hyperbolic " hysterical" irreal realist and

we say " he can't have meant it"....literally.....

And no one but me has any knowledge of his other remarks--as responses to other human beings on that despised medium---showing he meant it as high praise so we can hold the opinion
That THE writer William Gibson could not have liked that trailer...?

Which we don't like?

Just say he's wrong, maybe? 

The trailer is brilliant, a tone-perfect (heavily)-allusive satire of Pynchon himself and his Upper West Side neighbors all over the world. The layers of irony are thicker than the smoked fish..." Thinner, thinner"...." 

But that's just me and I might be wrong. "Not too close to the head."
