Comments on: BILLY THE KID On DVD Today http://blog.spout.com/2008/10/28/billy-the-kid-on-dvd-today/ Daily coverage of what is truly interesting in the film world Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:19:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: tricia http://blog.spout.com/2008/10/28/billy-the-kid-on-dvd-today/#comment-116656 tricia Sat, 08 Nov 2008 20:50:31 +0000 http://blog.spout.com/?p=6659#comment-116656 Lots of seperately recorded sound edited onto picture, this moviedoc is hideous. Any slam on it is no reflection on the kid. It holds a mirror up to nothing. It's an unexamined slice of life. The mother is as faux sensitive and perspicacious as the filmmaker. The romance it pretends and portends to capture (not the feelings of the lead) feels so forced that it's trumped (in terms of how outrageous it is) only by the filming of the nearly-blind wandering eye's of his young 16 year old supposed conquest. I've never seen so many lemmings fall for something. I hope this filmmakers 15 minutes (courtesy Billy) are up. Thanks Netflix.
