This may be the worst movie I've ever seen. Definitely the worst docu. It's just a bunch of context-free bullshit ramblings of a bunch of assholes from the tribute comp (plus the Eels guy, whose music I don't rly like, but who is a charming guy in this & in that Nova special abt his dad). They'd play songs and not say their title or anything about them. They would have recorded voiceovers and not say who was saying the quote. There was five minutes of some hairy-shouldered guy in a wife beater dancing around in headphones on the subway (they didn't say who this guy was or why he was in the film, either). It's "how not to make a move" 101. It's sad bcz I wanted to know more abt Bruce Haack!

The only good footage in it was him on Mister Rogers back when it was b&w. Which they followed with some dumb shit in Oakleys and a poncho saying, "Yeah, that Mister Rogers episode...it was trippy."

Yeah jeez... Talk about a documentary not doing it's job. I watched this and learned basically nothing about Haack or his discography. The talking heads in it were either really fried out and/or lame musicians (aside from mark e who is always affable/cogent) who really had no connection to Haack other than the tribute album or old people who had a connection to Haack in some way that is never clarified. It was a total mess, and had a bunch of "zany" toaster effects in it that made it basically infuriating to watch.
