On the two year anniversary of the show, The Lunatic Fringe gets a brand new start with this look at Bryan Singer's The Usual Suspects.
PLEASE NOTE: A lot of my fellow reviewers went out of their way to provide cameo footage for this anniversary episode. All their efforts are greatly appreciated, and it pains me to inform them that none of it is featured here. This is due to two reasons 1) Time. I simply didn't have time to complete the entire video, skits and all, by the due date I set for myself, and 2) On the advice of a friend I have decided to cut back on cameos, in-jokes, skits, and other material in order to make the show more accessible to new viewers and focus on my strengths as a writer and performer. However, I do plan to complete the full video, cameos included, and release it at a later date. I offer my thanks to all those who contributed and my assurances that their efforts will not go in vain. Stay tuned.
@NateDaGreat1006 Yes that is what it was trying to do, my argument was that it shouldn't be done. By having the film's protagonist exist solely within the villains red herring story, you negate his worth as a protagonist, thus giving us no reason to care about the villain's deception of him.

Perhaps I got lost on your logic somewhere, but "pulling the rug out. . .leaving you with nothing" (I thought) was what the film was supossed to do. If your being told the tale from the culprit, why should you be told anything factual? Why shouldn't he string you and the detectives along and drop you off a cliff? It's not his fault you didn't come with a parachute :P
