this is really something special we shouldn't miss. I was going to my baby boys baptism but screw it, this is more important.
who gives a flying fuck? seriously..
i can circle jerk ten alt country/adult alternative wannabes at home for free - there are at least 3 of them on every goddamn street in this town.
I think this is the first movie poster that actually says "please". It might as well say "Please like us; we are trying really hard! Why won't you like us?!!! Is it something we can change? "
you don't have to be nostradamus to know this is one documentary you can do without. Go eat some grapes and jerk off instead. You'll save money and feel about the same afterwards.
1. get coffee at fido, see who i see.
2. buy that fabulous new jacket at posh that's been nagging me through the window.
3. lunch at fido, see who i see
4. see the rad new TOT doc.
5. dinner and drinks at cabana.
Jeff Wilson (director) is talented. It deserves a look.
Sometimes there's a why within what and who, and the where looks like all kinds of places. And the look of it as well as the shooting is great in the trailer.

Nice going, Jeff. Keep it up.

Hey come on now.
I hate this scene just as much as the rest of you.
But let's be honest, it's kind of nice to see the cream post something about another scene getting just a little bit of buzz.
yeah, but this movie is seriously a self-congratulating, tepid piece of cinematic masturbation. an infomercial for the musical equivalent of waves lapping on the beach. for a concert film, there's too much idle chatter. for a documentary, there's absolutely no struggle, no conflict, no climax, no tension. just 10 first name last names stroking each other off for an hour and a half.
i do support local flimmakers at every opportunity, though. so. at least go see this so you can dispute or validate my critique and put a little more recognition towards are criminally underdeveloped film scene.
this whole thread would be a completely different convo if the doc was filled with artist you guys actually liked.
I agree with Lewis, I've never understood why it's heralded as the best Rock Doc ever...
Oh, wait. you weren't talking about "The Last Waltz"?
duh. yeah. this would be a very different convo.
however, the fact remains, if someone made this movie about bands i liked, the complaint (if not mine, then someone else's) would still be the same. a film like this is very limited in its appeal. if you're not a fan of the music, you're not going to find it very interesting.
people who paid money to see this tour, people who are friends and fans of the artists involved, will check it out and derive varying degrees of enjoyment.
but to me, it basically felt like a really long EPK for these bands and this tour. and in that respect, it has no "legs". it's a niche movie for a niche market -- one that i'm afraid does not include me.
They're all relatively nice folks and talented... but there are no new ideas. The music is uninteresting. Non-threatening. This is music for people who don't really like music.
i think that a lot of these artists are talented. just because you may not like the style of music doesn't mean it doesn't deserve respect. in their genres, they are strong artists......the movie was entertaining, but i can understand a lot of the criticisms.
i don't doubt that everyone that had a part in this film is talented. that's not the problem.
my problem is what passes for "film" in this town is usually little more than an extravagant electronic press kit. i'm lumping this in with "Nashville State of Mind" (last year's Nashville Film Fest local music back pat) in a new breed of local movies that play it just as safe as the music they cover.
i just don't see how anyone is going to see this place as anything other than a D-List haven for expired pop stars and a pipeline for shiny, digestible music for Starbucks and Wal Mart if no one is going to grow the balls to actually do anything outside the box.
