Dig! The Movie



I posted a review of Dig! The Movie on Amazon.com and one of the producers, David Timoner emailed me a hour after I put it up. It was an email called "Get Your Story Straight." He is truly crazy. Some people make one good film and they think that they can talk down to people.

My review is on April 17th: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0007IO740/ref=cm_rv_thx_view/102-9034775-7170534?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance

Timoner writes in capitals:

WHEN WE STARTED THE FILM, IT WAS CALLED "THE CUT" AND IT WAS ABOUT 10 BANDS OVER 5 YEARS, EXPLORING THE INTERSECTION OF ART AND INDUSTRY -- WE HAD NOT YET MET THE BJM OR THE DANDIES.... IT WAS AFTER WE MET THEM THAT WE NARROWED THE FOCUS TO TWO BANDS..... THAT IS THE REAL STORY ABOUT HOW THE FILM WAS STARTED.

SHE DIDN'T "THINK OF A FILM ABOUT THESE BANDS" BEFORE "SHE HAD EVER HEARD OF THEM". WE STARTED WITH TEN LOCAL BANDS IN LA AND THE FILM EVOLVED ORGANICALLY FROM THERE.

YES, ANTON'S A GREAT SONGWRITER AND ARTIST, WE WOULDN'T HAVE SPENT YEARS OF OUR LIVES MAKING THE FILM IF WE THOUGHT HE WAS JUST A DUMBASS - AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE A BIG FAN OF HIS, I AM TOO -- BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY EVERYTHING THE MAN SAYS HOOK, LINE AND SINKER.

PLEASE THINK FOR YOURSELF!

Current music: BJM "Servo"
