NYMag have kindly given us a succint 5 point summary of upcoming Charlie Kaufman comedy musical 'Frank Or Francis'.
Most of this is already known to us Nicolas Cageiacs, but pay close attention to #2, that is a distinction I have not seen made before!
Quote:
2. We'd heard before that Frank or Francis was about Frank Arder's relationship with this entertainment blogger who constantly insults him online, but it turns out, that isn't quite right: Arder's nemesis is Francis Deems, an entertainment blog commenter. He'll be played by Jack Black.
The part I have highlighted really caught my eye, it is not a blogger but a blog commenter ! as someone who runs a site, and has come across a fair mix of folks online, this really interests me! the one kind of behaviour i have always found it hard to fathom is a person who puts alot of energy and time into hating on the internet!
And what is a blog commenter, someone who critiques different blogs? Or is it someone who posts on different blogs? I have never heard that term before.
Hi Lady T, I took it to mean someone who posts comments on a blog, as opposed to the person who actually writes the blog! I thought it may refer to a specific blog and a specific commentator on that blog, sometimes you get regular commenter who has a reputation for being a certain way in their comments! maybe it is a bit like this?

Yes, I believe that's correct Lula. A blog commenter is someone who comments on someone's blog. A Blogger is the person actually writing and running the blog.
Interesting insite on the character analysis. Is Frank and Francis another independent movie? Does anyone know?
Yes! and do you all, as contributors to an online forum about Nicolas Cage, find that as intriguing a premise as I do? I am sure we have all come across internet trolls in our time?! This one is meant to be an 'intelligent' troll, someone who cleverly undermines the actor !
