this guy is one of my heroes, and now he has a movie about how his mind works and such in the studio. how the heck do i see it? why are there not more places to see movies that aren't mainstream? do i really have to drive to la to see it? can someone stop me from using more question marks? i mean really? what is it that gives question marks that cool shape? when i grow up, can i be a quetion mark?

Aren't question marks fun? When does a question end? Is it when another question begins? or just when it is answered? But I will be honest and say, I do like the "...". It captures the thought process of a typer/writer. So how come in lyrics we don't have '...'s?
Any serious discussion of punctuation marks is lacking unless it includes the amperstand. Consider the amperstand. It is cute and curly like a question mark, and ever as useful. Plus, you can use it all the time no matter where you live. On the other hand, folks who live in the southern states use more than their share of question marks, as every last sentence bears several of them. This hold true for Junior High girls, as well. i.e: "My dog? the black one? she's currently located under the piano, right? isn't that so cool? Like, really?"
"Ampersand" does have quite the resounding title, but the asterisk looks so perky and happy. Just a quick tap of the keystroke and the universe seems to joyfully burst forth with song. The usefulness of the asterisk is quite remarkable, particularly when one heads into middle and old age*, inasmuch as senility and/or forgetfulness often beset the human body during this time. The asterisk allows the author to append, amplify**, and/or clarify thoughts, rambling** or otherwise, and do with a cheerful mark.
*stages of life that folks think they will never obtain, but are glad they reach. These stages are better than the alternative.
**amplification is also occasionally needed in the auditory organ.
***spouses sometimes decide to gently remind loved ones that they need not provide too many details to the listener.
