Movies, I watch movies

oakenguyOur latest Netflix was 'Lovesick: the Making of Zumanity'. It was by the same Cirque du Soleil-affiliated filming team who did their documentary of Varekai.
It wasn't a good documentary.
It could be useful for several other things though. It could be:
a) a how-to guide for film classes, showing them what NOT to do. Making sequences "more interesting" by speeding things up or slowing things down? Conducting interviews with people and never identifying who they are or why they're important? Showing things out of sequence? Splicing in SOUND EFFECTS? No. Just, no.
b) an Afterschool Special to be shown during Health Class. I'll even write the post-viewing discussion questions.
*You're dating a male stripper with known fidelity issues who has just moved across the continent, for an indefinite period of time, to perform nude in a cabaret. Should you have his baby? And if yes, how supportive and available do you honestly expect him to be?
* You're engaged to a woman 11 years younger than you who's left the country to perform as a WHIP DANCER in an erotic cabaret. Your idea of a fun time is, apparently, vacuuming. Will this marriage work?
c) An ad for competing Vegas shows. "ZUMANITY is an exploration of sex and passion created by eight pudgy white Canadian men who spent several months in a windowless room shouting at each other. Yeah, that'll work."
