"We Live in Public moves with the groove of the rock-star atmosphere that surrounded the dot-com kid moguls of the '90s." - Lauren Wissot

Basically some failed internet mogul copycats MTV's The Real World (except in an underground bunker with guns, drugs and copious sex) breaks them all down like they're in Auschwitz and gets busted. Then he copies the movie The Truman Show and records everything he does. Except he's boring and nobody cares to watch. Then he lays bogus claims that he predicted FB and Google and you're forced to listen to what a "prophet" and "artist" this guy is. Then he loses his fortune because he's a dumbass.

Really interesting. But it's difficult to say whether Josh Harris or Troy Duffy (Overnight) makes for a more unlikable main subject of a documentary.

Josh Harris isn't as fascinating as the director insists he is, in fact he is an incredibly pompous and unlikable ass. This constant search for fame and acceptance always makes me feel weird because I don't care about fame at all - a nice, quiet life is much more appealing. I just fail to see what the director found so fascinating about him, his view on life was juvenile and appalling. I laughed pretty hard on 2 occasions though: when he lost all his money and when he called himself an "artist."

Josh Harris came off as incredibly uncharismatic, despite the director's incessant praise of his genius. He may have predicted (or, been the forerunner for) reality TV and social networking, but anyone that's become jaded by all that garbage is going to hate this film.

Josh Harris, the focus of this documentary, is less important than what he proved: "civilized" people are only just a few steps away from being monsters.

I would have loved to see an entire documentary that explored the madness of the Quiet project, which was the most fascinating part of (a mostly fascinating) Public, and makes today's Big Brother seem lame by comparison.

A superficial look at a disgusting human.
