Okay.
There's this movie that's come out called Legalize Murder which is meant to be a mockumentary about a Welsh black metal band.
It's gotten rave reviews from both Metal Hammer and Zero Tolerance.
It's an undeniable pile of SHIT.
They're ripped off the Spinal Tap format almost scene from scene in parts. Such as having a forbidden drum kit that nobody can touch. Sound familiar? And there's NOTHING in it that's unique to black metal beyond the corpse paint and one Burzum poster. If these people know ANYTHING about that scene then they've not displayed anything about it. And the music Legalize Murder are supposed to play? Sounds like fucking sub-par Pantera. ARGH!
Oh, and don't get me started on the production values. I helped a mate in high school make way better films for his film class with a crappy camcorder.
What's really fucking me off though is that this could have SO MUCH POTENTIAL! I love black metal but it's an inherently silly genre at times. Yet somehow this has managed to bypass tapping into ANY of that.
