Sure there were some super funny parts, and for the most part it was entertaining. But some of those interviews were very depressing. Specifically the mom, Grandpa Seth, and the crazy store owner. also the scenes at the conventions where nobody knew anything about Troll 2, and George is trying to get them interested in it, and you can just see that they want to get away from him.
shareSome of it was. Margo Prey and the guy who played the shopkeepers mental health was pretty sad. But the guy seemed like he was at least happy. He had a great time at the screening and said something about it being the best day of his life or something. So that was good. And for the guy who played Grandpa Seth, his life does sound a little sad, but I think in the end he realized he was part of something that he'll be remembered for. And the last time we see him he's laying in the shade having a chat with the Austrian kid with the weird sideburns, which was a nice scene. The old man hanging with a young fan from the other side of the Atlantic. Everybody else seemed to have an OK time.
Going to the show in England and being ignored was kind of a shame to see, but who set that up? I know there are some fans in Europe, but I don't know if there are enough to warrant flying overseas. There's no HBO over there, and the film's cult status was born in its daily HBO showings. Since then it has spread by word of mouth, hence you do get some fans overseas, but it didn't have the same exposure over there. So I think it was just a matter of them just being in the wrong place. It's clear from earlier in the film they have many fans, but they can't just show up wherever and expect to be known.
"Got a cigarette Nels?"
grandpa seths one line, something like "more or less ive frittered my life away, but what more is there to do with a life than fritter it away?" was one of the coolest things ive ever heard.
shareMore timeless wisdom from Grandpa Seth. It's totally true. You shouldn't take life too seriously and be too hard on yourself because life is always just frittered away
