You do have a point, the description of the project is a little "cryptic".

The actual DVD is just as strange. From the moment the opening crawl ends, you get assaulted by a barrage of media clips, as if a kid with ADD has grabbed your remote and started flipping through the news channels.

However, it makes for strangely compulsive viewing. Before I knew it I had watched the first half an hour, covering topics such as the "Tool of Satan" hoax and fan-hatred of Jar Jar Binks.

I didn't get to the stuff about the leaked workprint, the take-down of elitetorrents and the "Backstroke" bootleg, which was the main reason I downloaded this documentary (sorry, "documediamentary"). I certainly don't think anyone could watch the whole 3 hours in one sitting!

Technically, the disc is very well put together - the intros and animated menus look professional and polished, and the editing is flawless. AV quality is variable, due to the different sources used, but all credit to the creator for the painstaking amount of time it must have taken to splice this together from the hundreds of different sources used.
