This Movie Blows!

Just a little! Seriously, though, this has just been shown on BBC4 in the UK - I saw the description in the review and thought it might be interesting, given the format etc. I had to give up after 15 minutes or so, thinking "this is the most self indulgent drivel I have ever seen". So, having thought that, I fired up the ole web browser and came here and I see that, on the whole, that opinion seems to be shared by a fair few people here. It strikes me as a shame though - the whole idea seemed so good in the review. Unfortunately he just came across as unlikeable and self-obsessed with the actual work being extremely poorly done. I think it was the deliberately drawn out captions that finally did it for me - if you don't have enough footage, then make it a short film - but for goodness sake don't drag it out for the sake of it with somewhat cheesy and dull statements.

how is this self indulgent? i mean, people with nothing to say write autobiographies all the time.

i mean, seriously, who doesnt want to tell their story?

Glad so many of us agree.

The unimportant, uninteresting statements flashing across the screen - My lord!


Jonathan was a boy.....

who had alot on his plate....

At an early, early

age.

He did.

He really did.




Renee

was in a home

that didn't treat her well.

No, they didn't.

Not at all.



Jonathan was an attractive boy.

And a talented boy.

He was attractive and intelligent from the years

1986-1991.

All of those years

proved that he was already

a good filmmaker.
