Morrissey 'amused' with "My Life With Morrissey"? ... at least according to this story with some background information about the making of the movie in Variety's "DVD EXCLUSIVE":

Meeting Mr. Smith - Andrew Overtoom talks about his life with Morrissey - DVD Exclusive


Excerpt:

"What we finally did was go to his home in L.A. and chuck a tape of the film over his fence with a letter attached explaining what we were doing," said Overtoom. "We never heard from his lawyers, so we assume he got a chuckle out of it. And then about a month ago, we heard from mutual friends that he had indeed seen the film and was amused."

    Am I the only person who finds this "news" item a little dull?

    Surely not.

  • I cannot believe the filmmakers had to THROW a copy of the film into Morrissey's yard!

    Couldn't they mail it to him? Does anyone else find this peculiar?

    BTW I have not seen the film, but I have heard it is phenomenal. I hope it comes to Chicago very soon.

    With love,
    Ken

  • I saw the film and I can see why Morrissey could be amused. As a Morrissey fan I was only amused because the movie was about Morrissey.

    Interesting thought behind the film but its not gonna make anyone's top movies of the year list. It looks like a film school project that was put together quickly. Forced dialogue, weak acting (some of which is purposefully weak) and odd themes.

    Wouldn't any of us be amused if we had a movie made about an obsessive fan of ours? I guess I would and that would be why Morrissey would be amused. The inclusion of the extras on the DVD makes this one better than having just the film.

  • Really now, you actually call this piece of garbage a "FILM"? Im sure the reason if anything
    he was a amussed was because of the oscar De lahoya wannabe MOZ. Its not even film!
    Who you trying to fool. Its all digital video not 35mm film
    Next time try and pay for good actors instead of
    finding them in the penny saver and please let me know when this "film" wins any awards.

  • The Film has one two festival awards thus far -- audience award for Best Feature and Best Actor for the girl who plays the lead. Oh, and it is indeed shot on film. Just letting you know, since you asked to be advised of any awards won. Perhaps if you checked your facts first before posting in the future...??? It's all on the website.
