Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea

I guess I'm just going to talk about the guest filmmaker and his documentary this week, since I don't remember what we watched last Tuesday...So Chris Metzler's Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea is a great, funny film about these eccentric folks in no-man's land of the Salton Sea. One thing I did not like were all the graphics that were used; I thought it was unnecessary and over the top. But other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed all of the footage that was shown. My favorite character was the lady who smoked the cigarette in the golf cart, not knowing what gave her cancer. ha! Anyways, I thought she was great, being very blunt and straight-forward about her opinions. I really don't have anything to say this week, so I'm cutting this one short. :]
