Having problems with message search?
Interested in production as I know next to nothing about it
does the film give any insights or show any methods / equipment used, in an accurate recreated form ?
if Joe was a producer it would be a fairly large oversight to bypass something he must have spent an enormous number of hours on and the main reason for his fame?
can't recall anyone commenting on whether production comes up as much of theme in the film?
any advice appreciated as as I dont want to waste time watching something that will ultimately be a let-down if it's just some inaccurately or dubiously put together facts and a glorification of homosexual tendencies to try and over-balance a film to make it more interesting

Chris, since you ask – yes I was an extra in the film. I’m sure if you searched through the archives of the joemeek list you’ll find that I posted a message to this effect back in August 2007. There was an open invitation to all joemeek list members to be extras in the film, so I was hardly “lucky”to be involved. Your inference that I’m positive towards the film because of this involvement is pretty insulting. Now, can we step off the personal attacks a little please?
As always, best to all,
H
Hello Hamish were you an extra in this movie by any chance ? How lucky, wonder if any of the unsigned group "The Camios" are happy with their contribution? Heinzsight is a funny thing on reflection.
