16 | ->'''Producer Guy''': How does he (Michael) know how to drive if he's been in an institution since the age of six?\ |
17 | '''Screenwriter Guy''': Yeah, it doesn't make much sense, right? Plus, he's gonna spend the first hour of the movie driving around town. He's very good at driving.\ |
18 | '''Producer Guy''': So how does he know how to drive?\ |
19 | '''Screenwriter Guy''': Right? It makes no sense. Dr. Loomis is gonna talk to one of the employees at the sanitarium and be like, "Who taught this guy how to drive?"\ |
20 | '''Producer Guy''': And what's the explanation?\ |
21 | '''Screenwriter Guy''': We're never going to explain it or bring it up again, but because a character pointed out that it makes no sense, it's okay. |

31 | ->''"You see, the more the game tries to contextualize everything, the more these questions pile up. But it clearly wants you to think about them because… [[{{Infodump}} it keeps presenting them]]. If something isn't readily apparent in a cutscene, there will usually be some form of [[BuffySpeak addressment]] in the completely optional and quite missable Egg Memos. The game has a '''constant''' compulsion to justify its own writing or presentation, which… I mean… '''kinda''' lampshades that it… isn’t good."'' |
