Re: What Movies Have You Watched Recently?

I know that it's not his name on the directing credit, but I find it hard not to believe he's almost entirely responsible for it.
I liked Loch Ness, but it was not one of my favorites of his. I do think he's going in an interesting direction with this kind of thing, though.

blarg, oh ok, i see what you meant. you're referring to how the whole movie is a mockumentary and the viewer is "supposed" to think it's real, but it's not. you're arguing that herzog not being listed as the director is just part of the joke. correct? suppose that possible, but zak penn is a director/writer/producer and is listed as co-writer of incident. herzog likely helped to direct, but whether or not it's almost entirely his picture or not, as you suggest, is up for debate, i guess and doesn't really matter.
also, i haven't seen any of his new documentaries, but i suspect they are all very good and look forward to watching them. my losing his edge comment referred to his later fictional films, ie. invincible.
