there are some sound quality issues (god bless you zoom) and some poor framing choices. overall the sheer power of what judee sill did is indestructible and everyone senses this. it took these guys 9 years to make their movie about her (you can see why horsemouth prefers music - the lead times are just much shorter).
at one point judee's philosophy is described as 'onwards and upwards fuck the odds'.
the democratisation of film production has resulted in a democratisation of taste and given it all a fanfic quality. people can make films about anything now and anybody (nearly) can make a film. this is particularly true of the new wave of music documentaries - a little animation, a lot of talking heads - horsemouth traces it back to the john fahey: voice of the turtle documentary.
presumably it is difficult to make a documentary about fleetwood mac without accidentally getting shots of other documentary crews waiting to interview our brave protagonists.
moving backwards in time to 2019. it is the time of ooo-jeremy corbyn and hopes of a socialist labour government. soon that ship would sink - was what we witnessed an operation by the secret services?
did the deep state rise up out of the ocean in its full horror? or was it just the usual operation of the rules on planet fuck-up?
today horsemouth probably needs to go and do some s-h-o-p-p-i-n-g. at some point he will need to go and refuel his bank account (and sort out some tax bollocks). he is working on trying to understand something so that he can explain it in the best and most persuasive fashion in the hope that it may happen. he has two projects like that. he would like to see them both up and running. but let us be frank about this - there is the deep state of people's habit and we still live on planet fuck up. the overall rule is that nothing must be allowed to happen.
what was that judee sill motto? 'onwards and upwards fuck the odds'.
