Review of Cinemania (2002) by Jannik G — 04 Oct 2008
This is one of those movies that makes me feel good? because I know I?m not nearly as insane as the people in it. This is a documentary about five absolutely hardcore film buffs, these people are not normal in any way shape or form.
They are all living on disability, unemployment, or an inheritance and they spend all their time watching five movies a day in various New York theaters. One of them has hundreds of sound track LPs, and no stereo to play them on, another one will apparently watch anything, including The Amazing Crab Monster, and one of them attacked an Usher for tearing to much off her ticket stub.
Only one of them is willing to even think about watching a movie on video. There?s nothing particularly amazing about the filmmaking on display, but it?s interesting to watch these quixotic people, see the roots of what they?re doing in my own behavior, and thank my lucky stars I haven?t gone that far.
