I've been watching this in regular old HD and the visuals are crazy. How the fuck did they get some of these shots? I hope they have a "making of" episode so we can see what they did and had to endure to get the footage.

Yeah, I keep having the same thoughts while watching the first PE. The footage they get is unbelievable. And yes, there is "making of" material included on the home video release.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Comparing this in any way to Friday Night Lights is kinda huge. Careful there.
But, yeah, I haven't watched any of it yet. But I want to.
