Mechanical Marvels: Clockwork Dreams (2013)
Could have been excellent, but ruined by pretentious presenter.
This announcer, he is a "professor," went on and on and talking soo slowly. and ponderously, emphasizing each word for effect. Most of the video is just staring into his kisser. Professor, would you please just show us the clockwork items, they, and not you, are the stars of this show.
ClownTown (2016)
Writer, producer, director...afflicted with prostate disease?
Of course can't be sure if the persons responsible for this movie have some urinary problems (hopefully not cancer) but no other explanation I can think of for the constant references to urination, people peeing, scenes with urinals, women and men discussing their urination. It is all very strange. As for the movie itself, found it entertaining and with decent production values. Still, all this talk about peeing and pissing is odd, at least in my humble opinion. Perhaps for teenagers this is an "in" thing, I don't know.
FDR: American Badass! (2012)
OK but...
Am willing to bet not one person of million who saw this movie has noted the reference to "World War I" during a scene that takes place in 1931. Since WWII did not begin until 8 years later, how did they know The Great War was "World War I"? The movie itself I thought was very funny, and enjoyed it. It's obligatory now that every third word has to be f this and f that, in order to accommodate the teenagers. Only thing is, for this moving, the teenagers likely would not be interested anyhow, never having even heard of President Roosevelt. I spoke with a young woman, "history major" in her high school senior class, and she had no idea what was Pearl Harbor, that it was attacked, etc. FDR...who's he?
