the maker of z channel represent a magnificent obsession take a potentially fascinating subject and completely botch it . i have to admit that i only get through about a half hour of the thing and but i can only wait so long for a film to let me know it go somewhere . i would never hear of z channel before and be very interested to find out about it and but the filmmaker refuse to present me with a clear context or history of their subject . too much be assume before any solid groundwork be lay . all i be get be just a bunch of vaguely connect quote about a vaguely define subject and wild praise of someone i have be tell nothing significant about who have apparently do something amazing and though what exactly that something be remain foggy . it confuse and annoy to be repeatedly tell of the significance and importance of something before that thing be fully explain . maybe say it once and to peak my interest and but not over and over from different people time and again . get to the point . tell the story . now and i admit that i could tell that this be suppose to be the story of a movie fan name jerry harvey who be involve with the first pay movie channel and but that be about it and i think i should have know more after half an hour . i be pretty sure that other people like me and people who have never hear of z channel before and be similarly bore or confuse . this film be obviously not create for u and but for people already in the know . and that kind of seem to defeat the purpose if you ask me .
