I watched the original video, and its remixes, probably in the hundreds of times. I put them all on the iPod and used to go jogging to it.

Thank you so much for this.

Upon completion, I find it hard to reconcile how the docu goes from respectful to sneeringly condescending. Pick a damned tone and stick with it!

How could you jog to this? It would throw my rhythm off or I'd get hit by a bus while laughing.

I picked up on that too, especially the film maker's interview with Eli and the way he phrased his questions. Disappointing, but when the film maker is not in it (most of the film) its better.

This was excellent, I didn't think it was sneeringly condescending at all.
