It was a pleasure reading your essay because I really wouldn't have necessarily thought about certain aspects of the movie without the prompting. So I'm also glad that some of my thoughts have prompted more analysis on your part. It's a fun little cycle! =D
I'm definitely going to look into that book by John Gregory Dunne - it sounds fascinating. I'm really not a fan of Disney, but that metamorphosis from first draft to final is really interesting.
OH! Thanks for mentioning that point (how a lot of people are annoyed at how Noel portrayed CKR in his book). My reaction was the same -- CKR was that way back then. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that way. It makes so much sense for him to be focused on his career -- just because we all love CKR and he's a great guy doesn't mean he wasn't ambitious and maybe a little more uptight than he's come to be.
That fic you recced is great! I haven't read too many realistic sort of what-happens-after fics, so this one was a surprise! I kind of felt bad that Billy was revealing so much to Bruce, and without knowing how this might affect things... but the ending was so good, and AHHH, SO APPROPRIATE!!!!! =D
