Wanted to mention that I saw a great little documentary (that almost plays out like a mockumentary since its subjects are so over-the-top) called "Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollock?"
Thomas Hoving, former director of the Met and self-proclaimed Expert is so ridiculous he deserves his own reality series, "Why I'm an expert and you're an asshole." I think this film would be a great companion piece to Pollock, which, in case you haven't seen it, is phenomenal but horrifically sad. (So, um, you should probably watch the sad one first. Just sayin'.)You can't go wrong with a film that starts (and I paraphrase), "Everybody knows that fairy tales start with 'Once Upon a Time,' but when a trucker tells a story, it starts with, 'You're not gonna believe this shit.'"
Editor's Note: Pollock Film Fest pairs best with a bottle of Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay. And tell your friend to bring one, too.
