Oh man, that's of my favorite nostalgia-inducing movies ever. I don't know why but for some reason the line "no, I'm going to use my finger genius" kind of cracks me up every time I hear it despite the fact that it's in one of the most serious scenes in the movie. On second thought, maybe it cracks me up because it's in one of the most serious scenes. Anyway, I do love that movie.

I had expected the documentary to just be interviews with him and his friends and whatever stock footage they had (as these types usually do) but its actually much more in depth. With the home movies and tape recordings of everything from his mom yelling at him to him flipping out on the drummer from Sonic Youth. Some parts I laughed at like the Mountain Dew part "This Daniel Johnston speaking from a Mental Hospital and they say I'm crazy....because I love Mountain Dew so much, I can't get enough of it!" Some of it's really sad about how much his mental condition has almost ended his life and career trying to crash his father's plane, attacking an old woman, and ect. But then you have the people who are their for him through the thick and thin his manager who worked so hard for him even when he fired him and his parents whom he still lives with and take care of him.
I was referring to the movie.. it really makes you appreciate everything he's been through, and gives you a whole new take on his recordings. I only had a few albums before seeing the movie as well (Fun being one of them- the fact that it was a total flop really surprised me) and after watching it got my hands on his earlier, more landmark albums like hi, how are you and yip/jump music. My emotions really get pulled around with this one, like the scenes you mentioned, and when he was harassing that elderly woman who jumped out her window. Like I said, heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. That being said I really want to see him live, take advantage of living in Texas and go see him play sometime!

Yeh I am going to see him, in October (I'll tell him you said hi). I was also shocked when he recorded Fun that it only sold 5,800 copies I mean Life In Vain alone is an amazing track. After seeing that I felt guilty for downloading it, so I'm gonna actually pay money for his music instead for doing the whole free download thing. But yeh great documentary.

Ugh... I watched "the unborn" today...

What's happening to horror nowdays? Is suck becoming an element of fright?
There's a difference between cult horror and just plain crap horror. No matter how many warped visual FX you can toss in, you still need to have some kind of substance. There needs to be one outstanding factor that is NOT centered in FX. Something that keeps you thinking about it long after the movie is over.

The only thing I got out of that movie is that the lead actress is hot. That's pretty much it.

I haven't seen that film in 15 years. I would love to see it again sometime. I thought Slater was great in comedy called Kuffs which really played to his strengths.

Haha... I didn't see the trailer. My mom wanted to watch it so I downloaded it and burnt a DVD out of it for her. Figured I may as well have watched it too. Big mistake I guess.
