First let me say that I was introduced to HWWTW because I liked their last project "American Drug War the Last White Hope" so much that while researching the movie I discovered that they were making a potumentary (my favorite movie genre).

If it was anything like American Drug War I knew I would love it. So I anxiously waited about 9 months to see the movie (it got delayed several times). I finally saw it today and not only was it nowhere near the quality of American Drug War - it was so bad that I started to lose interest 1/2 way in. The story was disjointed. Craig X had a weird acted scene. Alex Jones seemed like he was the primary source and had some parts that were downright strange and should have ended up on the cutting room floor (as well as many other parts of the film). The film is a complete mess and at times gratuitous (the up the shirt shot of Shelly Martinez walking down the stairs). There were compelling parts like the Feds "smash and grab" on a collective where they shot their dog and seized everything but never filed charges. The good parts were few and far between. This is the first potumentary that I would advise people NOT to see.

I've seen them all. They are by far my favorite movies to watch.

Super High Me was not that good; and I am a fan of Doug's who has shared beers with him.

That being said SHM was 1000 times better than HWWTW.

LOL I think you would hate it too if you waited 9 months including several delays and paid $19.95 for it. I guess I wouldn't hate it so much if I had zero expectations and I watched it for free on youtube. LOL
