How weird -- two documentaries on subjects that interest me, and both of them rubbed me the wrong way. American Hardcore completely ignores the anarchist peace-punks and makes the whole subculture look like an eruption of gang-related violence... and Edward James, BoD erases the subject's manifest queerness with some kinda whitewashed silence.

The bit with the interviews with James's male and female secretaries is funny, but yeah. Neither of these films were among my favorites from the cup, but I did learn a lot from the Edward James doc, since I only knew him as a patron of the surrealists and the guy whose head is in Not to Be Reproduced, so xBuilders gets my vote.

And then (Frank O'Hara's partner) Joe Lesueur being all up in there the way he was...
