There you go, not a shit in sight!  |
Yes that not only makes sense; in expressing your opinion it's reasonable, reasoned and fair comment
Meat's never suggested this was a great film, really deplored the second editing, and like Andy, I suspect its being locked away and not released has caused a level of curiosiy, even "need" to see it/own it that is almost bound to result in disappontment in some .. and I guess give those who like to find flaws and failings a golden opportunity to deplore it ..
Had it been released at the time I suspect it would have been enjoyed by a lot of people because it would have met expectations then of it's genre; Explicit Sinz says much of it rates well against Dukes of Hazzard. Not a show I enjoyed, but many, many did. Perhaps watching it not with the eyes of our level of expectations in 2011, but with the arguably less demanding ones that were used in the 80s, one would see the satirical take she refers to. As it is the musical footage should surely be something to enjoy, and any for whom it did become a kind of holy grail .. they've had their objective met. If it's good thought-provoking writing, excellent performance, skilled filming they're after, I recommend Focus
