Ugh.
"VANDALS have gone on a wrecking spree, smashing more than a dozen gravestones in a Cardiff cemetery.I saw that headline on a paper today. I didn't get to read the full article, and I can't find anything but the headline captions online... this is all probably for the best. How is that people like that exist? Makes me feel almost physically ill

Most interesting to me was the woman who's been thrown out of various theaters, then dresses up in disguise and tries to get back in.
I think that people like the ones profiled in the documentary are mentally ill. Seriously. Maybe OCD. They showed a lot of obsessive behaviors.
That's so cool that you've seen it too!

Roberta was scary, I agree. She didn't even seem to gain any actual enjoyment out of the movies she watched. It seemed more of an obsessive habit. They said something about cinephelia becoming a sort of prison, and in her case that definitely seemed to have happened.
Jack, the guy who was in the movie the most, seemed totally normal though. Well aside from the obsession with good quality prints and the claim that it's okay to beat people up to ensure that movie enjoyment isn't ruined. *g*
I don't understand how any of them could end up with lives like that if not for mental problems.
Another thing I noticed was how little they actually said about movies. I was expecting the serious film buffs, with their encyclopedia-like movie knowledge, to have quite deep opinions on movies, but it seemed that their discussions went pretty much along the lines of "Liked that. Didn't like that. Like her. Don't like her."
They need to get online more. *g*

And then sometimes it's months before I get back to the movies again *g*
