 | | Baker created the perfect vehicle to lampoon the media, plunging him into idiotic kiddies' shows, embarrassing late-night chat shows, Foreign Legion and monster movies and a documentary on the making of an inept version of Hamlet. |
 | | Originally pitched by Baker as a car-chase murder mystery, he developed Why I Hate Saturn into a wry character-driven comedy by focussing on two very different twenty-something sisters, one a lush, hard-drinking New York dame, the other a dreamer convinced, like Kevin Spacey in K-Pax, that she's come from outer space (hence the title). |
 | | As the latest softwares came in, Baker had been among the first to use them, making a font from his hand-lettering for Saturn, and now on You Are Here pushing all the buttons to generate eye-popping colour artwork and special effects, if sometimes overegging the cake a bit. |
