Glitch me. They not only actually go though with editing it, but they sent it to a reviewer and this is to be published! I can't believe I'll be walking down the street now and.... Glitch me.
"Geocities: The Electronic Frontier" Rating: 9 out of 10

InfoMedia Film Review
Ancient Egypt, the Golden Age, and computers hidden away in a forgotten warehouse that serve as a gateway to mystery. It may sound like fiction, but Adrien LaCiel's "Geocities: The Electronic Frontier" shows us that often fact is more enthralling than fiction.
LaCiel's two-hour epic documentary on the findings of InfoCorp researchers is both thrilling and keeps you wanting more. Brilliantly directed, and even more brilliant told, "Geocities" connects the dots between images loaded onto the forever-lost Internet that paid worship to feline-kind, and the Golden Age cults that worshiped now-forgotten Egyptian goddess Bastet.
A combination of beautiful artistry, eerie stories from Geocities text stores (if "My Lost Kitty" doesn't move you to tears, nothing will) and the animated presentation of research leader Harold Liese make seeing this documentary worth the $900 price of admission.
The electronic connections also served as a gathering place for cult leaders, and show us words straight from the keyboards of those who plotted to kill Middle Eastern revolutionary princess Benazir Bhutto. This is the most interesting segment, and LaCiel wisely dedicates a full 40 minutes to the story of the plot.
The film's only flaw: Could the director's have found someone to describe the findings more bland than Mohammed Masood? This researcher, credited with the initial find, certainly deserves kudos for his work, but should never have been given time to speak in front of a camera. His pitch that Bob Marley was somehow connected to the creation of the deformeds was difficult to swallow at best given the time differential, and showed people at Masood's level require guidance by their superiors to keep their imaginations from running away from them.
Regardless, this film is a must-see for lovers of history and mystery both. It is likely to be a solid 6 months before it's available on blackchip, so see it in theaters while the opportunity lasts. Bring your kids. They may even learn something the schools don't teach.
At least this justifies Project Culture Shock, hopefully Green won't nail Mohammad as bad as the reviewer did. Although to be fair she was the one who insisted on the Bob Marley be not only retained, but emphasized. She always manages to glitch things up and have someone else take all the fall out. I swear upper management are the devil.
