Review of For No Good Reason (2012) by Mike C — 05 Jan 2015

Just couldn't get into this. The guy did some good art and some bad art but I'm not sure he'd be as big a name had it not been for Hunter S. Thompson. You'll catch my attention with more HST clips, but not this guy.

At the start, I thought all his art was shit. Not for me to say what is good though, but I thought it painfully awkward as Jonny Depp had to pretend he enjoyed watching the process. But Steadman is very prolific and did have his fair share of some pretty neat art..just usually not the ones he makes when the camera is on.

So maybe a more interesting dynamic would have been the dissension between he and HST...getting toward the end of the documentary, we see a little more of that and I paused from turning it off to watch that part. But overall, I just don't like this guy's process and wasn't interested to see Depp pretend he was interested just because he plays in all the HST movies.
