Another one that was just okay for me. I did find the subject matter very interesting. I had never heard of this guy before and found his life very intriguing. The movie is a look at the life of Josh Harris an early internet pioneer. I had never even heard of him before I started to watch this. I found some of his predictions about the online world pretty haunting, considering he was making these predictions years and years before the creation of things like Facebook and other social networking outlets. The early parts of the movie were very interesting to me. How he got his start, made his money and his ideas. Then I started to lose interest as he started going off path a little bit and his newer projects were just a little odd and even disturbing to me as he starts veering off into almost a performance art direction. There was a lot of original footage and interviews that I made this worth watching if you have any interest in this type of story. It was decent. Not spectacular, but again, I think expectations are still a bit high and perhaps I should stop watching documentaries until Dear Zachary is out of my head...if that ever happens! The next two entries are going to be complete cheats. I refuse to say I gave up this project...however I did spend over 20 hours in the car over a 48 hour period, so not much time for movie watching!
