We Live in Public (2009), Ondi Timoner, B-
Another topic I never want to see another documentary about is the early Internet prognosticator.
This documentary, however, is very well made. It is edge-of-your-seat filmmaking, taken from hours of video of nothing but people picking the lint out of their navel.
Give it a few hours and the effect will wear off. . . and everything that’s been presented to you as shocking revelation will seem incredibly obvious.
Maybe it’s just because I was around during the 1990s dotcom shenanigans, but I feel like this movie coulda been made a hundred different ways and, with the same editing and music, would seem equally “important.”
