a very good--if very straight formally speaking--documentary about the minutemen. the dvd comes with footage of 3 minutemen shows, so is better than seeing the theatrical version, which interperses interviews with the band, folk who knew them in various stages of post-punk sitting around in front of things modes and live footage.
if you liked them, its a great thing.
if you don't know this band, it's still a great thing--kinda gives you an idea of just how tepid and nice music that is talks about itself as rebellious has gotten.
but if you are thinking you're getting to sleep at a reasonable hour when you start the film at 11 pm and then later find out that there are 3 shows on the second disc, then you are kidding yourself.
just saying.
