[radicalphil42069]

[Lunarvx22]

@radicalphil42069 Mark! None of that conversation.

[Lunarvx22]

Bi-weekly re-watch.

[generalkhand]

movies suck they do not play but stop and go into error mode..pitiful..

[joel2112]

Thank you Crackle! Free movies are the bomb, yo

[cantarooots]

@konyers88 I hear you, us Canadians need a pickmeup occasionally to. I turn to this movie for solace!

[MrBlasterFilms]

@cantarooots Americans ah?

[Lunarvx22]

@konyers88 I live in Canada and I have no issue watching it

[mttellek]

Somehow, Mike Schank reminds me of Chumlee.

[rhyno4eva]

James Rolfe sent me here lol

[haywardkbox]

@rhyno4eva i as well!

[greekpa2]

when did youtube get movies?

[mttellek]

I'm only watching this because of James Rolfe. I better not be the only one!

[jd123456789reservoir]

@mttellek LOL ME too

[MrFirthguy]

@mttellek nope me to and so happy i did

[Lunarvx22]

@mttellek Thanks to James, this is now one of my favorite movies.

[zeejustin6]

Great free movie thank you...

lol @ complaining about 5 minutes of commercials in a 2hr movie...sad.

[kaechug]

Got to love the commercials, adds tension..... fuck tension.

[acrobatsutr]

I really wish I could make a film too or maybe act in one. but the problem is I never have any time to do it. I always have something to do that takes up my damn time!

you dont have to be rich or poor to do what you want, you just gotta have the patience and time to do it. too bad I barely have the time...

great fucking movie! changed me completly

[WalkerDestroyer]

Stop bitching about commercials!  It's free. Be Happy.

[shapman87]

man this guy inspires the hell outta me in film making. im another film maker whos trying to get things done but it gets hard after awhile...film making isn't easy to do. like when u watch the movies u think its easy to do but it takes a lot of patience and heart to make a film. and i love Marks energy and determination. i wish i had that kind of energy.

[cantarooots]

Crackle, you suck my wang! I watch this for free in segments on youtube before, now many commercials. Much anger, fuck.

[terenceokane]

had spots with very insightful words

surrounded by laughs

[cheesymac77]

I love this movie....Have watched it many times since '99. Wish it was 10 hours long...

[zeekerz87]

Ive worked at that haunted house in the begining and went to the school that is behind it!

[schwar89]

this movie makes me feel so guilty for using imovie. so amazing.

[smedcalf]

this guy gave up his career to become basically an extra in bad movies. so much potential. he and his buddy need to make a comedy and give up on the run of the mill slash and hack.

[paridisegrowth]

I love love love this film (anyone with taste would)

[aylish11]

I liked this film because it shows how passionate this guy was about making his film despite all the downfalls and delays. He never gave up!

[JahRah88]

this is the politically correct "Napoleon Dynamite"

[dnich154]

boring waste of film

[WhiteSword]

wow that kick ass

[pete3great]

that old dude knows how to party.

[mike24jd]

YOU MOTHER FUCKIN BITCH.... 186 FUCKIN MINUTES....

and it's in goddamn primetime.

Literally nothing can beat this movie.

[MrBluemoon666]

t hat mother fucker does look Asian though

[merlatte]

wow, is mark pathetic. a cross-medium comparison can't even be drawn to half japanese or daniel johnston, because as untalented as they were, they made art. mark simply has no talent and nothing to say,and is thus not an artist. if his desire to make a scene look like manhattan or seventh seal seems funny, it's laughing at him, not with him. he is a self-assured idiot with a camera with other idiots supporting him. it's like an 80s redneck edward wood. why did this win any award?

[MrBluemoon666]

Shit Sandwich  thank you.

[IJackeDisLaptopNWhat]

fuck commercials

[eleventhsun]

@IJackeDisLaptopNWhat You people get to watch movies for free at the click of a button and you fucking complain about having to watch 20 second commercials now and then? What the hell have you given to the world? Useless Non contributing losers you and your 32 idiot likes. Move to Africa if you want to complain. STFU and watch the FREE movies that you did nothing to create.

[musterdsandwich]

@eleventhsun

someones moody,

i suggest that you go eat some frozen yogurt or play on the swings at the park near by

[eleventhsun]

@musterdsandwich I suggest you line up with the other non contributing whiners of this generation and complain about all of the injustices you have to endure while getting everything free at the click of a button and never having to get off your lazy asses and do anything but complain.

[musterdsandwich]

@eleventhsun hey im not complaining about the ads. I just mute them and scroll to the comments. Hence me trollin a little ;)

[eleventhsun]

@musterdsandwich Now you got the right idea!! Good movie though huh?

[musterdsandwich]

@eleventhsun excellent watch

[eleventhsun]

@musterdsandwich I only wish I saw it when it first released. I'm planning on shooting an independent horror film in the near future. This was a pretty great look into a similar approach

[riddler182]

13 mns in and this still sucks, im out

[brucekirk89]

WTF is this show

[HamOnWholeWheat]

I am floored by how great this movie is.

[riddler182]

is this movie good then, is it funny??

[comprevolution]

its a documentary.... why would you even ask that.

[riddler182]

look reviews said it was hilarious from start to finish i watched 15 mn and didnt laugh, its just a ? of saving time relax dude

[PlanetoftheAtheists]

" i used to get angry inside because i didnt have anyone to drink vodka with. Then i met Mark, and he would have vodka, or i would have vodka, anyway, we'd have vodka, and we'd drink vodka together, then i wasnt mad inside anymore cuz i had someone to drink vodka with...."

[PlanetoftheAtheists]

been trying to get the local non corporate theater to show it at midnight!

[LeM0njui3c3]

thats why i read comments while wait for the ads

[garyjohnson1984]

they like jay and silent bob

[pinworms70]

WTF is up with these fucking lame commercials...Asshole Youtube.

[TheHugitoGuy]

It helps pay these guys. And the chance of them making good videos after theyre not payed is slim

[illchiken10]

what type of word processor is that in the beginning? greatest movie ever made. youtube should serve it right and not put comercials

[MillionaireGhostCat]

more commercials!

[VarlaV]

I met Mark at a Film festival and we went for drinks after.

[PigLatinDirector]

"is that what you want to do with your life man, get drunk off peppermint schnapps and call Morocco? That's pathetic" God, this really is one of the best movies ever, I highly suggest trying to catch it with an audience. I did awhile ago and it was such a great time. If you have a theater around you that plays old movies suggest it.

[filmtipsandtutorials]

Great Film, Lol, this was posted in 1999

[dogdesire]

please come view my FREE 30" scifi movie short "AliEn ConD0" now playing; rate, comment & tell others, especially big budget movie writers/directors/producers needing co-worker on next projects. thank u

[Tron1276]

genius...one of the best movies of all-time-- documentary or otherwise...

[CribNotes]

This movie is so incredible, the 30 second commercials can't hurt it. Only problem is the commercials come in WAY too loud.

[grenadianmed]

At 5:55, it's Irategamer's doppleganger. LOL

[zandax1]

Mark Borchardt is the shit

[SiDN64]

Word.

[cjboffoli]

It's alright! It's OK! There's something to live for! Jesus told me so!

[topcover2000]

Y'all think YouTube is a non-profit group? You think you are somehow entitled to everything free, all the time? Watching an ad is part of the price of Freedom!

[arkmanoah]

wtf is up with commericials, so fucking lame.....i quit watching bkuz of them

[monsterfashion]

You think when Jesus was hanging there, he thought it was natural?

[Holocaust429]

I lived next door to Mark for about a year in Germantown WI. He was a pretty cool dude. A Shank is a riot :P

[elshiple]

ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE

[wormusicisticsound]

how did Mark get a reverse tan!?

32 min into the movie

[asusc18]

this movie is rad.

[Icm14]

One of my favorite films of all time!  Thanks Crackle.

[Crackle]

Thanks for all the comments folks, we love hearing from you!

[Yarsh52]

Thanks for all the commercials, we love interruptions.

[20282000181826]

Better then nothing without commercials there woulddent be tv games or movies so get the fuck over it kid

[Yarsh52]

There is nothing to get over. I just think advertisements don't need to everywhere, like during videos especially.

[therealxxtubbyxx]

I remember watching this film when I was a kid and falling in love with it. Get the dvd so you can see the horrible COVEN.

[bcmasta1returns]

American Amerian AMERICAN! I'm gtting sick of this damn country! never open to anything foreign!

[ChocolateAndCheese1]

what are you even talking about?

[bcmasta1returns]

name one time you've turned on the raidio, tv, or went into to the movie theter and seen something that wasn't made in the USA! OR ABOUT THE USA. Then you go overseas, and all they are talking about is the US FUCK OF A! There are 230 countries in the World! It would be nice to see something that has nothing to do with American life or culture! The world knows enough about us already!

[vin1fx]

Why is that so upsetting to you? Watch some Bollywood films...sheesh.

[bcmasta1returns]

Becuse America is too big! and its hard to find bollywood films.

[vin1fx]

Why is the size of this nation necessarily a negative trait? Why is smaller better? Bollywood films are getting easier to find, especially with services like Netflix.

[heckamuch]

kill yourself faggot commie

[bcmasta1returns]

Communism is the furthest thing from the comment I left, I'd be surprised if you even knew what communism was.

[spagcore]

Seeing this here made my weekend. I last saw Mark around 6 months ago at an Alterra Cafe on the lake here in MKE.

[negrosaurus]

to everyone complaining about ads, download Firefox and the AdBlockPlus add-on. I didn't see a single ad while I was watching this.

[realdoogie]

12 ads? really?

[negrosaurus]

I actually didn't realize until over halfway through that this was a real documentary and not just a highly authentic mockumentary... now it's kind of sad.

[cinemavirtualis]

Yeah the first time I saw the film, I thought it was a mockumentary too. Proof that truth is indeed sometimes stranger than fiction.

[stellaluna4u2]

it's alright it's ok there's something to live for Jesus told me so

[XanltheCSG]

the two directors remind me of Coach Z and Strong Sad

[Ironsix6six]

lol

[nuspickle]

Nice job guys "ads by Google" showed up on themiddle of the screen just as it turned black, and remained black. What a bunch of shit. I love this movie and thought that youtube was posting it free. Suckage.

[GOGMOTIS]

its crackle. they suck a LOT now

[jrhersh80]

I watched this when it first came out. I also seen Coven the film he is shooting in this film. I think it was called Coven?

[Salvo1313]

Loose the fucking advertisements.

[BumDog007]

Use to watch this movie everyday for MONTHS.

[jasonkluytman]

I walked the same road. I love this film.

[RisqueRooster]

are you serious? I watched an ad to start the movie and then had to watch another one to get it loading immediately after...

[SomeWhiteNerd]

at least hulu has ads in the right places. Not in mid sentence

[jonathandasin]

lol i kno this guy knos what he fucking talking about

[rusefilms]

when i first saw this movie i watched it twice back to back. i love this guy so much. i envy his passion.

[agentsmith1138]

If you use a "host file" you can watch the movie without commericals.

Google "host file" to learn more about blocking unwanted parasites(ADs).

There's no place like 127.0.0.1!

[TheChrisV420]

Sony Pictures is throwin the word "Classics" around a little loose these days.........

[jonathandasin]

lol

[moriya2k2]

there's a commercial literally every five minutes. this is just ridiculous.

[neoarcadezr]

those guys were on family guy where meg thinks she was a lesbian

[ragsdale008]

boring shit

[5904588pepe]

good movie

[kkingkyle55]

boooo this move sucked ass

[CopenhagenAdict]

Indeed...

[rocktoanything]

i hafl expected this to be whanes world

[nyjeen2]

FUCK YES Mark Borchardt!!!

Hes finally getting famous?

[MsClaudia777]

lol -seriously...

[kenoe1980]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo!.........nooooooooooooo­ooooooooo!!!!!!

[dontbedifficult1]

Fuck these commercials in the Ass! God damn, though this movie is amazing I will not watch it for 1) honda in my face every 6mins 2) shitty fucking quality, even compared to dvd 3) this little asshole bar at the bottom of the screen that won't go away!!!!!!!!! Fuck!!!!!!! This!!!!!! Shit!!!!!!!!

[23pokrzywa]

Get some software that blocks all ads. I have an add-on for Firefox, no ads anywhere, even when watching movies on YouTube.

[Jenophile]

What's the name of the add-on, please?

[23pokrzywa]

It's called AdBlock Plus. It blocks most ad scripts. But don't spread it around, because if the big companies find out we use and they don't get money for us, they'll block it somehow.

[moriya2k2]

what's it called?

[dontbedifficult1]

I want to fuck these commercials in the ass! Amazing movie though.

[togio100]

This documentary is an hour longer than the actual film it was documenting.

[JKH790]

seriously, wtfuck honda dream bullshit! I want 2 murder someone now!

[digitalshark]

I love this movie! When Mark's working on editing Coven in the college editing room with his kids sleeping there with him - as much as it;s easy to poke fun the guy has incredible energy and he got it done, for better or worse. That's more than most people do.

[grEEnfan8880]

Mark is so funny!

[jhtde]

funny movie

[sagedrummer]

One of my all time favorite movies!! I love Mark and Mike

[WESTKILLERful]

ok this is an american movie cuz its stupid fucc this

[TheOriginalSakattack]

These Honda commercials are fucking stupid.

[iscream22]

I cant believe the whole flick is on youtube. I love this movie.  I love how Mike Schank says "VOTKA" instead of vodka. I wanna headbang to some Sabbath with that dude!

[Filmhawk]

LOL he is the Ed wood of our time I love this movie

[Jonnyf5]

"its alright! Its okay! Theres something to live for! Jesus told me so!!!!"

Best scene of the movie!

[Trig242]

an ad blocker for Firefox completely elminates the annoying commercials and keeps the flow going...just in case it helps

[JUMPINGJIMBRUNZEL]

awesome! Thx for the heads up

[benjbriggance]

great movie

[DapwnageG]

Youtube needs to make it so there is a option to remove the advertisements

[electricvisions]

watch it with firefox and install ad blocker = NO ADS!!!!!

[h2007]

FUCK YES! I used to have this on VHS and lost it I love this movie. "Not just to drink and dream but to create and complete"

[DIECASTER]

This guy is just wasting his time and money,....his movie is crap.

[cenasgay9111]

AWESOME movie hate commercials

[SilenceOmo7]

Holy fuck. Fuck these commercials. They make me want to rent the movie. Which I will. So fuck you and your ad revenue!

[Gyates]

Mike Schank is my hero! (not really)

Isn't this DVD out of print, wish I had bought it when I had the chance.

[SeijiMutoEX]

Just rent it ... then burn it.

I've watched this probably 20 times. I love it.

Did this guy ever become anything?

Did any of his films become more popular than the documentary made about him?

I wish I could see some of his films. Maybe they're on youtube. ^^

[DrunkyMcLushLives]

They aren't on YouTube, but Coven is an extra feature on the American Movie DVD.

Mark is filming a full length movie right now that he wrote and is directing. he has mainly been acting in films (even in a small role in that Jet Li movie, The One).

[JUMPINGJIMBRUNZEL]

I will NEVER buy a Dell nor a Honda nor any crappy Yoplay because of the ads in this movie!

[SAMHOUSTON56]

commercials can suck balls...hairy ones...

[zui64]

the commercials make it seem like if youre watching the movie on tv.... lol but yea they do get annoying after a while... good film though

[j33zluis]

"Kick fuckin' ass! I've got a Master Card!"

[pabbananna]

commercials DESTROYED the flow of this film!

[damage0099]

glad I bought the dvd awhile ago

fuck commercials

[MatMurk]

The movie was good, but the commercials were great! Only if they could've been more frequent and a little louder...

[canOFawesome]

lol ikr

[noxvet]

Special combinations of fiber PLUS aspartame. Get off you lazy ass and appreciate life, you fucked-tards

[SLO100GUY]

Isn't this guy and Mark Schank 2:09 "The Gods of Nature" in Richard Christy's 'Majestic Loincloth'? end of Part 1

[LeeChavezMusic]

I hate how many times you have to sit through the same ad over and over again.

[Jeffhammond05]

fuck these commercials. youtube sell out piece of shit.

[impaledmessiah]

I lived a couple blocks away from Mark when we were kids and I remember when he got that first camera and started his filmmaking. I actually helped out on a couple of his first shorts. I'll never forget the one called "I Melt". It was stop action as he put pudding on Kens face a little at a time while filming in the back yard in the dead of winter. Even back then he was filled with determination. I'm just realy glad it all paid off for him in the end. Props to you Mark!! Your living your dream!!

[temperex]

ok, i don't mind commercials, but this is mega overkill

[DonSolo52]

Check out "Home Movie" another great Documentary by Chris Smith.
