a mighty wind must pass.

Probably can't update here as often, seeing as I'm pseudo-blogging a _lot_ on Slashdot now, but will try to make it back here for random stuff as often as I can. Random stuff such as the majestic mockumentary 'A Mighty Wind', which we saw earlier this week. Actually, it's been pointed out that Christopher Guest and his co-stars don't really like the phrase 'mockumentary', since it implies they're being cruel and mocking about the subject matter, when it's really a fond lambasting to a particular genre. In this case, it's folk music, and it's done wonderfully. As always, Fred Willard tries to steal the show with a turn as a sleazy ex-comedian manager, and.. well, pretty much succeeds, as he did in 'Best In Show'. Cheeky so-and-so. But really, what the movie has is beautiful and beautifully funny songs, a delightfully bizarre performance by Eugene Levy, impeccable ensemble improvisation, and, most of all, a heart - it cares about the people and the things it pokes fun at.
