Apparently I did not know this. The subject of this thread is "Concert-One" which is a business that has recently done business with Meat Loaf - not a documentary. Your assumption here is not correct. I did not "well know" this at all.

Again, I do not "know" this at all. You are wrong in your assumption of what I do and do not know. You have this entirely wrong. I am not picking words to have a go at anyone. I am picking words because I disagree with them. I am focused at the words - not the person.

Maybe I need to wash out the eyeballs, but the documentary I watched had a fair decent amount of Meat Loaf on it. It is not "all Meat Loaf, all the time" but he is on there.

To you, the viewer. To me, the viewer, it was not a great disappointment at all. We are both entitled to our opinions. The documentary is what it is. We already had an artist focused documentary created with In Search Of Paradise. This is not that product. I refuse to say the documentary is a disappointment at all.

A true documentarian attempts to bring to light the subject - unfiltered and unfocused. I would expect the actual concert footage to be raw and uncut, just like I would expect a concert video to be crisp, polished, and even "fixed" if necessary to be a high-quality finished product.

Again, I am focused on his words, which are wrong in my opinion. Concert-One is not a "shit" company just because Wario does not approve of the final product. He has shown blanket disregard for a company and the employees behind the company just because the end product does not meet his approval. I am not attacking anyone here. I am attacking words that people choose to use.

A documentary is fact-based art. Just because you do not approve of the content or quality does not mean "mistakes" were made. Hell fire and damnation, even if Meat Loaf himself said there was a "mistake" in the documentary or something did not happen the way he wanted - that still does not make Concert-One a "shit" company.
The final product was signed off on, releasing it to the world - that's what matters. Just because you do not like what you received, does not mean you can make blanket statements that it is a bad product. Even if we all loathed the very pixels the product was made of - when we popped it into our players and Lady GaGa came out of our speakers and the visual was of a Spice Girls concert...someone, somewhere signed off agreeing Concert-One to produce it and someone somewhere signed off the product was complete and consumer ready. We got Meat Loaf on the speakers and in the picture - just because some do not like what they see/hear does not mean the product is across the board flawed.
