I had my doubts, but this is a pretty nice introduction and gives a good rough shape of Christory. There's just so much stuff on Chris that one documentary will either be a rough outline or a long slog, so if someone was interested, they could start a Christory series on Youtube.

I think for 15 minutes a pop you could make episodes that go into key events in the sagas and their revelations but also explain how things developed. I'd do it but I'm only armed with WMM.
 
Wait, WHAT?
What @lipitor said. Also, Chris' beloved high school galpals were specifically requested to hang out with Chris. It was some sort of a quid-pro-quo relationship through Bob.

This was revealed to Chris through a non-troll source. The problem was that Chris got an idea into his head that if he could pester the women enough and get them to "be his friends again", he could forget about the unpleasant truth that they weren't real friends of his in the first place.

The troll messages were kind of an attempt to get Chris to quit pestering them. In retrospect those messages were a bad idea because there wasn't much of a chance to get Chris to quit his galpal-quest, and you'd only hurt his feelings worse in the process.

And of course, lesson learned: don't try to save Chris from himself, he'll learn better that way.

Thats a good idea but I think I want to work on the final draft of the movie first. But like I said I wont be editing for awhile I have really ignored my health and allot of important life things to get it done on time. But that being said thank you and I will consider it.

I wish I knew that at the start.

I showed a friend at lunch. (we stopped at the highschool poem.) he said it was sad, then when he left he pointed shouting were gonna finish this movie. But he also laughed allot. Which is good, but he seems to completely understand whats going on without any guidance from me.

Congratulations, though. You've got yourself a footnote in Christory, something that a lot have attempted but only managed to embarass themselves doing. If you ever do feel like doing Christory in episodic format and you don't fancy doing all that research yourself, feel free to send me a message. If it's up to par with this except with more detail, I don't see it being a bad thing.
 
You did a fantastic job. Really enjoyed it.

A miniseries would be pretty cool.

Wow, clearly there was a lot more to it than I realized. I appreciate you explaining it for all for us.

Ooookay... I watched your movie!

First impression: Very good! You do a good job at telling the CWC mythology in its entirety. I could learn a few things from it I didn't yet know about CWC.

My favorite part: When Liquid plays his own interpretation of "So Need a Cute Girl" and you superimpose images of Chris over him with an increasingly angry expression.

I also enjoyed the interview with the Special Ed teacher, he seems to be a pleasant, intelligent man. Maybe there could even have been more from him.

There are some minor details I would change:

* At the beginning you say something along the lines of: "put yourself in his shoes... without empathy". That's a bit of contradictio in adjecto I think, because putting oneself in another person's shoes is the definition of empathy.

* You spell Leonard Bearstein's name wrong ("-stien" instead of "-stein" which is derived from the RL conductor Leonard Bernstein).

* I think you should explain Chris's pickle phobia so viewers know why the trolls dunked the medallion into a pickle jar.

* The image of the Nazi newspaper at the end is a bit much, but I may be oversensitive here because I'm German.

* Maybe you should emphasize how much Chris's view on homosexuality changed (...or did it?!...) during the Tomgirl Saga, he now claims he's an LGBT supporter... and a lesbian! Maybe it should also be pointed out that the Tomgirl Saga divides into two parts: The first, when he just crossdressed and still claimed to be a heterosexual male, and the second, recent, more extreme one which had him come out as a "Transgender Lesbian".

* I think there could be a little bit more emphasis on Chris's Sonic fandom. After all, the hedgehog became a defining leitmotiv of his life. Also, more about the plot of Sonichu could be said.


But these details aside, I like the movie, I enjoyed watching it. Great work!

You did a good job on this documentary. Perhaps you could have spoke more with the teacher, as there was a lot of potential to tap into from him, but you delivered a strong message in any case.
 
Great job on the documentary! I was thinking it would be interesting to frame the discussion of Chris within a larger discussion of lolcows and the communities that spring up around them, and then zero in on Chris as a particularly fascinating example...an lolcow with more longevity and more followers than any other. And then delve into his background and why he is so fascinating. Perhaps even touch on why people follow him and what they could possibly get out of it (I'm still asking myself this question, ha). This would expand the scope of the project quite a bit, but I'm just thinking out loud... Again, great job!

The documentary was very good, I am unsure if you should censor his cell and home phone or not though (even though he doxxed himself numerous times in the past)
Its like me censoring info about a celebrity, its out there for everyone to see. It was just to show how much he talked about his personal info to random people.
 
That was very enjoyable.

There were a few things omitted that I was looking forward to seeing, but the only one I can actually remember now is the car part of the October 28th assault. Really, really great, though.
