Clifford Stoll: 18 minutes with an agile mind

pro says...

My main problem with this talk is that Clifford seems to be performing an act and not giving a talk, which I found quite distracting. I would be fine with the presentation if Clifford was geniunly as hyperactive and scattered as he comes across in this video. But from watching his other talks, his persona in this video seems so far removed from his actual self that the whole talk comes across as disingenuous. Sure, every talk needs a certain amount of showmanship, a certain amount of flair to enhance its reception. But Clifford emphasizes style way more than the content of his talk; its the kind of performance one would expect from Robin Williams if he was asked to portray John Nash in a remake of A Beautiful Mind.

Also check out F For Fake - http://www.criterion.com/asp/release.asp?id=288 - the film Orson Welles made. It deals with art forger Elmyr De Hory, who Clifford Irving wrote the biography of before he got the idea to do his Hughes book. It deals with the Irving Hughes scandal and various other notions of fakery.

The extra features on the DVD are good too, including a 60 minutes interview with Irving and the telephone interview Hughes was forced to do to defend himself against the claims made in the book.
