Thread Name: A Mighty Wind on DVD
Subject: RE: A Mighty Wind on DVD
Bought it today. Watched it twice. Then I watched the great extra scenes that didn't make the film. I thought all of it was a stitch. Wonderful, and poingnant as hell in many spots.

Best of all, I knew EVERYONE there. Actually, I saw at least 5 or ten folks I've known in each and every one of the characters in the film. The movie avoided those of us who hang on the trad side of town. But I didn't grow up in bubble. I just know what I prefer.

Interestingly, I generally avoided being very close to those like the people in A Mighty Wind. But they were always fun to watch and nice people to know. As a solo performer, I got to keep all the cash from my gigs----and nobody ever quit my group either.
