All of the sudden, this has gotten really hard to do. I love Herzog, but some of his new stuff is nothing compared to his old. I have Wild Blue Yonder and Incident at Loch Ness waiting for me to watch them, but they’re both awful compared to Land of Silence and Darkness and Where the Green Ants Dream.

This isn’t to say all his newer stuff is bad. I loved Wheel of Time. It’s just when he tries to meld his abilities at both story-driven films and documentaries that I don’t care for.

I think you'll like..

“My Best Fiend”. It’s got some very funny moments. Herzog is very deadpan when he talks about his professional relationship with Klaus Kinski, and then they cut over to a scene where Kinski is acting like a raving maniac. Although it’s a documentary, it feels almost like Christopher Guest had something to do with it.

What did you think of Aguirre and Grizzly Man? I saw Aguirre, but I couldn’t bring myself to see Grizzly Man.
