Ben on Adam Savage: My quest for the dodo bird, and other obsessions

Talk:
Adam Savage: My quest for the dodo bird, and other obsessions

Brief Synopsis:
Adam Savage, who seems to have worked on special effects and models in movies, talks about a couple of his personal quests: to own a skeleton of the now-exinct dodo bird, and to own a copy of the Maltese Falcon statue. When he can't obtain them, he decides to make them.


Ben on Adam:
Another talk that seemingly has no other point than to listen to this guy pat himself on the back. The only interesting question that came to my mind is, ... is this guy healthy? He seems happy, but clearly he's got some issues going on. The issues make him, in some ways, extraordinary. But .. they're weird and a little scary.

I didn't come to a solution on that. Some of the details in the talk were a little interesting, and he did a good job on his things, but ... ultimately I didn't really care. I would rate this 2.5 stars, but I gotta make a choice...


Takeaway:
Crazy and obsessed = ... ?
