it's a pretty common device to film a cassette player while audio plays on the soundtrack.

ever seen Unsolved Mysteries?

"Unsolved Mysteries" also stole a lot from Morris' The Thin Blue Line, especially the way Morris filmed recenactments of the crime.

this is what i meant by "exacerbate." my point is, the acid would obviously have an effect; but it's not going to be the prime mover, as my roommate suggests. i suppose i illustrated the context poorly. my bad. but if you're summarizing the Daniel Johnston story to someone, the acid shouldn't be the first thing you mention. that's all i was trying to say.

my mom and i were discussing the movie a few weeks ago, specifically the drug use. she has degrees in psychology and social work, and i don't, so i trust her opinion. perhaps i should be more skeptical.

really? i think Gibby Haynes is a miserly asshole, and i found that scene kind of endearing. he says he didn't give Daniel LSD, and doesn't do anything else i find particularly objectionable (besides, of course, putting off getting braces for entirely too long).

I thought that everyone else pretty much says he did give Daniel the acid. My memory is pretty foggy on this though, I need to watch it again.

And I really don't like watching any sort of dental work (or really anything having to do with teeth) performed on someone.

it wouldn't surprise me if Unsolved Mysteries stole from TTBL. but, my point is, Morris didn't invent the device of filming a tape recorder.

Not Crap

I just saw this movie last night and loved it! I was struck by how much of his life was documented by either photographs or audio tape. It's a great film.

I watched this on Encore last night.

Not crap.

I can't add anything that hasn't already been added.

the film is not crap and it documents him very well, imho, and it made me feel very uncomfortable at times for a variety of reasons.

i did not like his music and fail to see the genius in it/him.

I'm watching this on cable right now.

Very Not Crap.
