This was an enjoyable documentary about a band I'd never heard of, but, following the documentary, I'm more than a little curious to learn more.
Inspiring.

About a UFO. And I don't want to give any spoilers, but the best Chimpanzee scene since "Being John Malkovitch", I am a bit curious as to the "Meta" - the other, hidden meanings in the film, superficially it was entertaining, not great, but I suspect as with other Jordan Peele films there was a lot going on there that I didn't get...
Anyways, good, and while I'm not certain my analysis is correct I'll conjecture he's depicting our rather unhealthy relationship with the media...

This was last night's movie to watch. I promised myself I would stop watching junk films - this was to be the start of that routine. It had been on the list for a while, and I had forgotten about it, somehow came across it and gave it a go.
Now, firstly, this is not a great film. It is not about being a good film, it's a documentary, it's about a person, about people, community, and celebrating their relationships with one another.
It's about more than that, and - as you may have not watched it I'll talk more about it after the "read more" link below. Warning - spoilers below - ensure you've seen the film before proceeding:

I knew this would be bad. I'd read the reviews, seen the trailer.
But - Mother of God - how bad it was! I mean, it surpassed my most dismal expectations by a factor of 10, 100 even, full orders of magnitude worse even than "The Room". This movie will be studied for decades to come as an example of how bad filmmaking can get.
This is a movie - that - if they were smart - they'd let you in to free and charge you to escape. If you survived the whole fucking thing it'd be free. If.
And how Jeff Goldblum and the rest found themselves in it? Well, SHAME. I mean, when it's not trying to rip off Indiana Jones, Star Wars, any of the previous franchises, it's just flailing. An overly "complex" plot and subplots, it's ridiculous - in the extreme. A man on a stage holding a can of soda for 3 hours - at any time about to prise it open with a fizzy pop - would generate far, far more suspense and applause.
Anyways, I seem to have developed a taste for trash lately and I'm thinking it's really time to improve my media diet. Enough with the bollocks already...
