----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I happened to read Edwin Jahiel's review, after some confusion
about its true subject (i.e. the name change of the video release),
then recalled I had seen the movie about three or four months ago.
 
Edwin's review summarizes the film's finer points quite well.
I may add that with regard to current threads on "anti-tele-
visionism" and the influence of the medium, this film presents
one of the most poetic, humorous and convincing arguments
for the abject stupidity of television content, and its globally
pervasive (and destructive) influence. For those who need
convincing.
