I never would have watched American Movie if not for that fest.<BR/><BR/>G: It's hilarious. I laughed too. Okay, maybe I over-identify with the main character in my own way. But I guess I really admired him too. That 30 minute movie took him over 3 years make but he did it. <BR/><BR/>Some of the silent black and white footage for his epic movie "Northwestern" is really amazing.<BR/><BR/>Plus that scene where he has his mom film the reaction shot of him is so funny and touching. She doesn't know what she is doing and can't even figure out where the frame of the shot it. And he is so frustrated, he just needs the shot but he's trying to hold it in and to be nice and patient, because y'know it's his mom.<BR/><BR/>As another living in quiet (well maybe more obscure than quiet) desperation I am starting to consider that fact that I (and lots of us, really) might feel less desperate if I was living less quiet.ergohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15370317979111315836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12518466.post-1131513215757752202005-11-09T00:13:00.000-05:002005-11-09T00:13:00.000-05:00Uh, S, I *errr* thought that American Movie was a ...Uh, S, I *errr* thought that American Movie was a comedy... I laughed the whole time at his refusal to live a life of quiet desperation. Maybe living long enough in quiet desperation has made me need to believe that there is dignity in it, i dunno.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12518466.post-1131471661800308052005-11-08T12:41:00.000-05:002005-11-08T12:41:00.000-05:00Awesome!

I wonder what they're up to now...Kat Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103695280697007841noreply@blogger.com
