    fitzcarraldo is a such an insane and ambitious movie that cannot be replicated in modern times, i watched it 2 years ago without any knowledge of herzog or klaus kinski. i remember thinking kinski's actor must be a lovely guy because he seemed so gentle and earnest as his character. its weird how someone so insane could successfully pretend to be friendly guy

      Yeah, I really do need to make more long-form book videos. The problem is that I have a ridiculous number of skit ideas, and it's kind of addicting to make these. I also seem to be stuck in a mindset where I feel like I have to make the longer videos really, really good to make them worth watching, which means I keep putting them off. But I have do have a few longer videos in the works, so hopefully I should get back to that soon!
