This is the third occasion I've read reviews pointing to the abundance of visible underwear in my film. The film seems to be rated perfunctorily on the basis of the appearance of underpants and the rationale and obvious posturing in these reviews is utterly ridiculous. If you don't like the movie, just say so, but don't point to that quality as it's failing. The reviews I prefer to read tend to show the movie as having a great deal of potential, but that it ultimately fails in the end - at least the reviewer was considering his/her options. Reviews like that give the film a fair shake and make an honest argument. Comments about underwear upset me to no end. When I watch a movie, I try to find some good in even the worst scenarios and I've seen a lot of underwear in even the best movies.

I'm also getting tired of this movie being called a "video" or that it was shot on somebody's home movie camera. It was shot with a combination of several different formats on very expensive (at the time) equipment. The film has a visual feel that is singular and stands out (whether you like it or not) - something I strive for with each project I undertake. I do believe that the internet should continue to exist as a open forum for the exchange of ideas and comments, however moronic or ill-advised, but take everything you see and hear (including movies and subsequent reviews) with a grain of salt.

I gave my movie 5 out of 10 stars because every movie deserves 5 out of 10 stars simply for being a movie - whatever it is, it should provide a thin grain of entertainment for someone who can appreciate the enormous undertaking involved in producing a story for film.
