This is the first music related video I watch of the year (and I watch a lot of em), and albeit it´s quirkiness, I see a good future in music from 2011 on forward. Yes.

Seems like someone missed the point of the movie. It wasn't meant to be the ultimate Kinks' documentary (that would need to be 4 hours long), but rather - as the subtitle says - "one man's quest to reunite the Kinks."

I'm sorry you found Edgers annoying and that it wasn't what you expected, but let's not pretend this is meant as the be-all, end-all Kinks documentary.

Damn, some one got mad...

Don’t be scared away by angry, underpaid critics. I’d trust the Clinton St. folks who sought us out after hearing raves about the film. (My favorite review – because the writing is so wild – is from the Huffington Post: http://huff.to/c2nnAW) My only warning is that “Do It Again” is not a normal rock doc. In other words, you can like it even if you don’t know everything there is to know about the Kinks. And we’re pretty light on insidery, dry, talking heads talk. (Our interviewed musicians play songs!) The movie might actually be, er, fun. And if you see “Do It Again” and e-mail me a pdf of your ticket stub, I’ll send out a free button with Ray, Dave or Pete. GE. Boston, Jan. 2.

Thanks! I´ll try to .pdf that. And thanks for assuring my perception that it is a fun doc, I felt that the hangover had gotten the best of me.

Oh, send those pdfs to gedgers@mac.com

Thanks. I was gonna watch it anyways, I never get biased by critics views or personal opinions on pieces of art. Am gonna photoshop those serial ticket numbers to get 5 free buttons...woooo!! :D

Geoff Edgers: you should know better than to respond directly to critics. It makes you seem desperate and childish. Reviews are for those of us who don't want to waste time and money on a film ostensibly about the Kinks.

I bet those are some nice buttons, though.

Yeah, am planning on getting 6 of em`.

Cat & Mouse: Sorry, I don't take myself *that* seriously and kind of enjoy arguing. That said, my comments came because I felt badly that this lazy review was going to keep folks away from the Clinton Street Theater. As for the movie, just the making of it is an amazing saga, as you can read here: http://bit.ly/gcXt8p

And I'd like folks to see it in Portland.

If you truly depend on Ned to guide you on where to spend your time and money, I'd be a tad concerned. Was he folding laundry or sautéing a pan of leeks during the opening sequence? Because he clearly missed that "Do It Again" has a director, Robert Patton-Spruill. Ned's review was about two things: Lecturing us on what he knew about the Kinks and the joyless pursuit of snarkiness.

Here's an offer, (which I assume you'll label as desperate.) Go see the film. If you don't like it, e-mail me and I'll promptly Paypal you your $6. Oh, and a free button.

Hey Blogtown Reviewer - I'm a big Kinks fan, too. And my wife is from Oregon. But I don't understand you. Have you bought any of the crappy DVD's supposedly about the Kinks music but instead you listen to buttheads droning on about how they like Waterloo Sunset but hate their RCA albums? I bought about three of them before I caught on. Do It Again is a zillion times better than any of those dregs, and is much more in the spirit of the Kinks. Be careful what you wish for. You could end up with a crappy documentary or a very entertaining movie about a guy who actually did something about his love for the Kinks. Oh, and in case you didn't hear, Dave Davies had a major stroke in 2004. I was floored at how well he performed Strangers in Do It Again. There might be a future for the Kinks after all.

Geoff, why yes, I was sautéing a pan of laundry! You seem like a good sport. Sorry I didn't like your movie more.

Maybe I should have offered you your money back!

What about my "Free Button"? I want specs now.

That's weird! This weekend I saw a documentary that was supposed to be about Geoff Edgars but it was really just about some old band! There was so much dry, insidery information that I got caught up in listening and burned my leeks. :-(

"the joyless pursuit of snarkiness"...oh, there can be joy.

I'm an impartial bystander here, as I never got into the Kinks. A documentary about the history of leeks would have a better chance of getting me to the Clinton.

Wait, is Ned doing laundry and sauteing leeks in the opening sequence? Because I'd pay six bucks to see that.
