Joe Draft still lurks here. He PM’d me when I revealed I was involved with Cap and Chris, probably because he thought I wouldn’t divulge anything. Unfortunately due to Null routinely purging old conversations for all users since October, I can’t pull screencaps.That documentary looked fucking appaling.
The trailer was composed of every stereotypical art-house-cinema trait of pompous fuckery you could conjure up. The classsical piano music, the extreme close ups with no tripod, over-exposed face against the sunlight, miscellaneous no-context quotes slapped over the audio mix. At least art-house cinemas tend to have decent cameras and can keep focus. It looked to me like over an hour of letting Chris ramble on with little-to-no narrative structure, guest staring a confused old woman and a cute nazi who wants nothing to do with it.
No wonder Chris was upset it never got released. It was just a showcase of his excuses.
He claims it was actually Meg in the interview and that he paid her for her time. She isn’t exactly in the most secure financial position; she supports an immediate family member who can’t work, so it’s not unreasonable for me to believe that she’d take the offer. It was close to $1000 or something. Honestly the non-Chris interviews are more interesting since we know he routinely lies and remembers past events through a delusional, self-aggrandizing lens. In the Barb interview snippet she seemed surprisingly lucid about Chris’s childhood; understanding he was a pain in the ass but not totally admitting fault, but I think she’s at that age where she doesn’t really give a fuck anymore.
If it was handled by anyone else who didn’t care about recognition or profit, then I could see it being a decent supplement to the Comprehensive History series. The CWCki, where Geno gets almost all of his info, is severely outdated so getting the full-disclosure of what was going on behind all the troll-manipulation and fake stories would be refreshing. I know the CWCki is written specifically to mock Chris, but there needs to be some kind of line drawn between fake personas created by trolls, and the actual people behind the scenes. Chris’s life is not a 24/7 sitcom and clearing the air on what actually occurred would probably help deter more weenery.
