   The riffs are plentiful, but perhaps, in general, not up to the standards of   
   the best of old MST3K.  On the whole, this beats Cinematic Titanic and   
   Rifftrax, IMHO, YMMV (although    
   the Rifftrax of GLITTER with guest riffer MARY JO PEHL surely ranks among the   
   top MST3K episodes, by any name!  Go out and see it, right now ;-)).   
      
   After further thought, I realized that GLITTER was only scratching the surface   
   of a deeper problem.  In this film, a semi-biographical movie, our heroine   
   sets out to make a semi-biographical movie.  Confusing, eh?  But, given *that*   
   movie is semi-   
   biographical, there's a good chance that *that* character will be making her   
   *own* semi-biographical movie!  And so on, and so on.   
      
   Or what if there are two movie-making siblings who set out to document their   
   relationship, from their own point of view, in their own semi-biographical   
   movies.  Pretty soon, you have EXPONENTIALLY LARGE NUMBERS of movie-making   
   characters to keep track of!   
      
   Perhaps invoking ZENO'S PARADOX would help.  Hmmm....
