DVD Reviews of Blame It on the Fish
DVD Review: Those Nutty Primus Guys Get Funky.
Summary: 4 Stars
Les, Larry and Tim are presented here in psychedelic form, which means if your feeling a little strange right now, then be prepared to feel like a Timothy Leary lab experiment gone wrong after you watch this one.
This is basically film clips of interviews with the band and some concert footage, but every single frame of film is presented in the weird, acid trip format. But there's some good footage here and there, just not a straight-forward concert.
It's has it's funny moments: after all this is Les Claypool we're talking about here, not George Bush! Hey wait a minute ... ?
So look at this DVD from the standpoint it's a good Primus disc worth watching, plus the fact that even though it's done in a strange way, it still sort of makes sense by the end. You'll either laugh and think the guys in Primus are nuts, or you'll wonder why anyone ever bothered to put this out.
It's still Primus, though. And that means you have to at least check it out.
DVD Review: Waste of time
Summary: 1 Stars
In the day when almost every band has a DVD out with high-quality video concert footage, there's no excuse for this dreck. Even the concert footage -- few and far between the waste-of-time segments of travel and digital distortion -- are badly lit and cut off. Why this was even made is unexplained. Why Primus would deem to put their name on it is almost inexcusable. Don't waste your money ... I got a copy from the library and I couldn't even watch it once. DVD Review: Hey what does this effect do?
Summary: 2 Stars
The single reason one should buy this DVD is that it is Primus. And even then only if you are a die hard fan.
The actual feature is a very long very tedious exploration of what seems to be a kid who just got a video effect unit for his birthday. The trasitions and various manipulations to the fotage is at best arbitrary, at worst irritating in the extreme, and alway completely cliche' and overdone. As a visual document for anthropology it may be good but as an entertaining, informative, or otherwise enjoyable thing, look else where.
What the film maker thought abstract meant is anyones guess. A more appropriate and informative title would be "psychadelic". there really isn't anything abstract about it at all. Just a whole lot of non-sequetors (which he must have thought were completely original and interesting at the time) lazy editing, and alot of sound modulations at the worst possible moments which make it seem more like a glitch than an intentional effect. One of the problems with ameture fimmaking is that the director will inevitably think they are the first one to think of doingsomething (turning the camera upside down, making quick edits to unrelated meterial, etc.) and just let the audience suffer through it. Such things are done in experimental stages and only the best stuff (that which works) is used.
In Mr. Powers' defence, Les Claypool is shown giving him the most often given and most completely usless bit of advice for the film "I think you should just shoot whatever you want....even if it is a flower or something." And guess what? Powers overlays the interveiw with a flower. ugh.....
Love Les. Love Primus. This was dissapointing.
DVD Review: AWSOME DVD!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I recomend that you buy this if your a truly Primus die hard fan. The interviews are great. learned some things that i didnt know about Primus before. Awsome footage....buy it!!!DVD Review: Say baby. . .
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD offers an unusual look into PRIMUS live, how the fans perceive the shows. I saw them in Houston a few months ago -- made that non-stop slap-action look far too easy. Anyway, a great addition to any CLAYPOOL/PRIMUS collection!
