Too Much Meta-Criticism?

November 1, 2003 5:18 PM

Hmmm. I think one or two levels (depending on how you think about it, that's how it is when dealing with meta-levels, see Princess Bride.) of metalevelness is enough. Critizing a stupid Metafilter FPP should be done in one MetaTalk post, not in an another FPP and Two Stupid MetaTalk posts.

Nope, I don't get it (who plays Inigo Montoya?).

But I still want a peanut.

Yes, especially since the story was invoked in terms of different levels. One of the sad omissions from the movie (otherwise a pretty good adaptation) is Inigo's and Fezzik's hair-raising descent through the different levels of the Zoo of Death.
