Yeah sorry, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and for some reason thought I could write something coherent. Obviously I was mistaken.

Does it make sense at this point, after Rob's...

Simon,

Would you kindly ask that wooly chap to stop clowning around and clear the frame for the focus chart. Thank you so much.

Looking forward to the video clip!

The opening Boogie Nights really was one shot, no tricks. Great stuff.
