Overman, the director of the unbelievably popular Machinima film we mentioned yesterday, MALE RESTROOM ETIQUETTE, has posted an entry on his blog in which he theorizes why his film has become so popular. Lots of interesting ideas in his post. I particularly agree with this final thought he offers:

In closing, someone asked me recently, “What is a good machinima?” My answer, which may get published elsewhere too, was this: A good machinima is a film which is not intricately wrapped up in it’s own “machinima-ness”… I believe the best thing machinima can do for itself is forget that it is machinima and remember that it is film.
