I have probably seen it close to 10 times all in all. This is an amazing movie.

Thought it could use a trim, a bit long, and the whiny-ness of the band drove me nuts. Lars is such an unlikable character. I’d give it a 3/4 overall, but it’s not something I’d rewatch a lot, despite enjoying it as a documentary

The most interesting part of Some Kind of Monster is Lars restraint toward James and all his rules, etc. (Remember it is James that goes off in a huff, slamming doors) The film is like a doc. on group dynamics and you could trade out the heavy metal band for a software design team, sales team, or any other successful creative team.

I thought maybe with Anvil you guys were trying to be different and “edgy” but come on. this movie isn’t that good. certainly not top 20 of the decade.

Yeah about that… can I borrow a few bucks? I owe some people some money…

…for crack.

The filmmaking is just that much better here.

It doesn’t matter to me that they were both metal docs, that doesn’t figure in to me, the egos involved are what makes it.

When we made our prelim lists, I didn’t list DiG! because I actually for some reason thought it was a late 90s movie, perhaps because of its subject matter or style. Also definitely worth checking out. Ditto The Devil and Daniel Johnston… I know Jay likes the Danielson doc…

trying to think of other band docs of the decade that deserve honorable mentions.
