  • I need to get mine too...when i find some $$$$s. Mike and Amanda you guys are too cute.


    (In my defense, I preordered and bought the first DVD when it came out)

    lol likewise.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    See :) I'm sad cause I was never able to get a copy of first DVD... which sucks.

    I don't remember how long their new DVD is going to be in Borders, but I know it's not forever :P

    This is so cool Mike.

    I didn't connect to the film like you did -- but I was also moved by the DIY experiment they've created. It's truly inspiring. They've done something new... which is hard to say these days.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    I'm curious - had you been watching the podcast before you'd seen the film?
  • parawho 1 year ago
    I didn't connect either. I did see it, the other night, listed to air on IFC which was kind of cool. Oh, I see the dvd is distributed by IFC.
  • Ayz Waraich plus 1 year ago
    Yeah Mike. The podcasts got me hooked.

    I actually quite liked the film, but it didn't resonate with me like it has for others. Either way, I really admire what Aaron and Susan have created here... something very personal and unique. That's daring to me.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Oh cool :) I was just wondering how people's reaction to the film might differ if they had or hadn't seen the podcast before.

    It *is* very daring - they've worked really hard.

    I wish I liked that movie more but I just didn't find the story interesting. I do respect their dedication.
  • Ben Millett plus 1 year ago
    I'm with you. I thought that it was an interesting idea for going about doing the film, but I just didn't connect with Arin & Susan. The seem like nice enough people, but it just a little too depressing for me. I didn't watch the podcasts, but just jumped right in and watched it when it was on YouTube, or right before it went onto YouTube. Maybe I will need to watch it again, but I don't know if I could handle it.
  • Daniel Hayek staff 1 year ago
    I didn't find it depressing so much as I watched it and thought, "meh". I think part of it was that I'm familiar with a lot of the locations where they shot so I was taken out of the experience of the film by my own sense of familiarity and I just didn't dig the story. I really liked the talking MySpace profile boxes. That was unique.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    @Texas: Well :) it's not for everyone.

    @Ben: Ya gotta check out the podcast :) you know how in some movies the story starts at the end, and goes back to explain everything - well the podcast pick up where the film ends, everything ties together much better if you've seen both.

    Ahhh! :( I suck - yes you were - I hate that my memory is so piss-poor.

    gah... what's the music? :-)
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Rasmus :) The song is called 'Ce Martin La' and it's by Air... I think it's off the Virgin Suicide's soundtrack. It's a beautiful song.

    Love the DIY spirit and what they've pioneered, but I'm not into their self-indulgent naval gazing story.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 5 months ago
    Hey Jacob - well I'm glad you loved the DIY aspect of FEM, but the second part seems a bit harsh :P
