^link to the video that spawned all of this. turns out this thing was passed around via VHS even before youtube was around.

if you're not interested in the doc, at least watch the youtube video. funny shit.

^^^^^Before youtube, you say? You mean before 2005?

I'm amazed at how documentaries these days take on such narrow fucking subjects.

I mean, I thought I was nuts to watch a documentary about a single font.

Seriously, a feature length documentary about a youtube video?

^^ haha i know right. believe it or not, stuff actually happened before the internet!

^ i understand the skepticism. this is apparently known as one of the world's first viral videos. i don't think this is supposed to be a groundbreaking documentary, just a funny little look into this guy's life.

I've heard it's a very mean spirited documentary

7/28/2010 5:32:26 PM

how so?

I saw the director and the subject on one of the late night shows the other night and they seemed pretty alright with each other.

although i haven't heard anything about the film itself.


edit: I'm reading reviews and they almost all say "the filmmaker sucks and is a dick, Rebney is awesome, good movie."
