Since bursting onto the scene (and out of his jeans) with the self-torturing Super Size Me, for which he ate nothing but McDonalds for an entire month, documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock has shown a knack for selecting zeitgeist-friendly subjects for his nonfiction explorations. In his latest movie, Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope, he turns his attention to the annual San Diego-set celebration of comic book culture that has grown into a full-fledged pit-stop/forced blind date for Hollywood studios and the eager genre film fans they wish to court. I recently had a chance to speak to Spurlock one-on-one, about comic books, the direction of Comic-Con, the unusual focus of his next project, and the diminishing sentimental value of physical objects. He’s a talker, don’tcha know, and the conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the full read.
