"I've dreamed of this closet, and now I'm inside..." says the millionaire who can buy anything he wants whenever he wants. Ugh, love the insincerity. I still don't understand the premise of visiting the closet. Clearly most visitors aren't literally taking most of these films home or seeing them for the first time, but that charade continues. OK then, the visit is to get them to talk about films? Why not present it that way? These things are as bad as unboxing videos on YouTurd.
As for Wilco, more specifically, Tweedy, let's hope this doesn't indicate a forthcoming disc of "Chelsea Walls"
Like most things, the closet premise has a high failure-to-success rate, but generally the more legendary the guest the better the visit (Nathan Lane, Andre Gregory & Wallace Shawn, Zizek, etc.), but it's mostly nice to see celebrefilmb ppl in their NY visiting attire (Charlotte Gainsbourg, most other French visitors).
I Am Trying To Break Your Heart isn't a great film by far, but it's a neat document that has a wide commercial appeal (i.e. those who line the pockets of the insincere, most of whom are all parental ages & love physical objects), and has a high potential for
additional extras and/or
Chelsea Walls as an easter egg. And if they were included, would Wilco be the "youngest" featured musical act's film to be added to the collection? That is until we get a 4k of that Charlie XCX documentary in 2025 or so.
Semi-relatedly, Ondi Timoner's
DiG! would also tie in the age department/hope springs eternal, as Anton Newcombe (not a millionaire) is the same age as Tweedy, and also reminds me that most music docs have been less wild n' woolly since, and more
an extension of the promo system than ever.
Thank you for a lovely day and all of the new films! I know how I’m spending my weekend.
