One Percent Rocket Science, Or Possibly Thirty Percent

In the very first blog I wrote, August 10, 2008 (later published at Archive.Org November 2009 as part of Volume 1), I first discuss something that I believe to be recurring inside-references made by someone regarding myself, by which I mean, a certain type of thing has recurringly (though not invariably) appeared in movies produced by Stuart Cornfeld (whom I once sort of knew a very long time ago, and who produces excellent movies that sometimes appear to have been influenced by my material, in which he is not alone, not by a longshot, Spielberg, The Beatles, etc., someone behind the scenes must be making everyone be influenced by me, you should be spending all of your spare time reading about me, the most unacknowledged man who ever lived, though it might be too soon to say if there are people more unacknowledged than myself, as they wouldn't likely be known if they weren't acknowledged, nevertheless, I cannot imagine someone more unacknowledged than me):

8/10/08. Jonathan D. Steinhoff's Sometimes Blog
(regarding a recurring inside-reference in Cornfeld-produced movies)
"....lying on the ground unconscious, opening his eyes to people/person standing over him."

Today I was fortunate enough to see Stuart Cornfeld's latest movie, "Megamind (released yesterday).

[It is an excellent movie, but of course I'm not here to be a film critic, I'm here to jump up and down pointing at myself.]


Those who saw the end of "Megamind", essentially the final scene of the movie, involving the David Cross character, will, I expect, have to consider the potential significance in my having identified above and so long ago (my first blog, as indicated above) that such a scene (not a particularly uncommon scene, generally) might be particularly associated as having, when in a Stuart Cornfeld movie, inside-reference qualities. In this instance, the scene was considered special enough to belong seconds before the end.

The nature of the scene is very common, in many ways conventional, and normally one wouldn't see its recurring from one movie to the next, in and of itself, as leading to any kind of connection. One distinguishing characteristic here is that a special twist is involved, which again is not entirely uncommon, but more uncommon.

In the context of so many other inside-references and influences regarding myself that I've seen over such a long time, by so many in "entertainment" (people for whom I and so many others have so enduring and enormous a respect and appreciation), I lean towards believing this is again the case with the ending of "Megamind". It is a pleasing thought, hopefully not one that will be seen as a stretch of the mind.
