    great link, I always like Bill Moyers! Just got this book that's a long transcript of an interview he did with Joseph Campbell (writer and mythology scholar around whose work George Lucas shaped original Star Wars) over something like 80 hours. Great stuff if you are interested in where story and deep archetypes come from, and why we respond to heady work like The Wire.

    • that is a fucking brilliant interview. i remember seeing clips of it in high school7point34
