I've often thought of doing a Hal Hartley thread, so I was glad to see this one. Pity it doesn't seem to be getting traction, but there you go. I was a huge, HUGE fan of his 90s output - Unbelievable Truth, Simple Men, etc. - so much so that I actually bought the script books and badgered friends into seeing them. (The response: "one of the stupidest things I've ever seen".) But I'm not so enamoured of his output from "Henry Fool" onwards. I always wished it was more like his earlier stuff, which maybe is unrealistic. I pledged for his first Kickstarter, "Meanwhile". It delivered roughly on time and was ... okay? I mean, it was a Hal Hartley film, and he had these ideas about it becoming a TV series but no network would pick it up. And I could see why. It was odd and a bit meandering, and I couldn't really say it was about anything. But the music was cool. Hartley always has great, cool music that has introduced me to so many artists. I've even got several CDs of his.
