I never meta movie I didn't like

Incident at Loch Ness, Werner Herzog, Zak Penn. Um, how to describe this: action-adventure mockumentary? documentary-within-a-documentary-within-a-mockumentary? what you get when you cross Spinal Tap with The Stunt Man with Moby Dick? truly Herzogian exploration of the interplay between Fact and Truth (plus sociopathic assholery from Zak)? Trying not to completely spoil the movie, but notice how the real thing only starts to appear once the hoax is at its most blatant. And that's not counting the whole 'nother level of meta you get when you listen to the DVD commentary - goes to Anchorman/Talladega Nights territory and beyond. If any of the above sounds interesting to you, then I highly recommend you watch this as soon as possible; if it sounds odd and off-putting, then I recommend you stay well away from.

On a completely other note: the Mystery Statie has been missing the last two times I walked Aldrich Road! There's also a statie been parked outside No. 8 today, but no connection. (Different number, so not the same unit; maybe just a work-buddy visiting.)
