mumblely peg, literally
Are you in the mood for a movie as slow as molasses? Do you have a hankering for a mumbling, stumbling, celluloid hero that wanders around the house and gets lost in the woods? Then this film is for you.The only review that will do justice to this movie is a mumbling incoherent one, just like the flick. A little Q&A;:Q So how'd you like the movie?A Mmmf Pongloramin.Q What did you think of Blake/Cobain?A Alch Himlimsh.Q Thank you very much.A Yelcum Bermush.I think Van Sant and crew must've filmed this as a practical joke. He must've thought, "Gee, I have one more movie left in my contract. I think I'll just wing it. No script, no dialogue, let's just hang out at a swank college in upstate New York and soak up some indie/underground rock." Maybe they did it at Bard College. Bard/Blake -- get it?I will say that the music video is a lot better than the movie. It's a hilarious parody of Nirvana that's funnier than Weird Al Yanchovic -- but then again, Al isn't that funny. That video is more of a tribute to Kurt than this sorrowful excess of cinematic depression.If Van Sant had intended to punish his audience by ensconsing them within the mind of Kurt so they can experience his psychotic depression, he should've kept that deleted drum scene and expanded the dolly shot zooming in on his "performance" in the dark, dank room of the house.In the meantime, it'll have to do as a picture for hangover recovery.
