A Tale of Two Movies or Filming Weekend
Erin and I rented some movies on 99 cent rental day and of the two we have watched, there couldn't have been a bigger difference in quality. The first one "Primer" was a heady quasi sci-fi drama about some young IT guys that make a time machine. It was very complicated and was hard to follow at times, but interesting and worth watching. The other one, "The Delicate Art of Parking" was a mocumentary about parking patrol and was terrible. We had to stop it halfway to avoid our untimely suicides. It was painfully unfunny and fundamentally flawed. It was far too clean and had WAY too many cuts and camera angles to be a "real" documentary. The acting was atrocious and the characters not well thought out at all. It seemed like something you'd come up with in a split second late at night...only most people would realize later that it needed more work and wasn't all that funny to begin with. I can't even begin to tell you how shitty it was in mere words...
I'm filming this weekend! Hey, it's raining outside.... ARGH!
