So many great points here about Pavements. I'm somewhere between ardent fan and casual observer, so I think I got about 60% of the references. Still, agree the film is too long. Though the film teeters between hagio and anti-hagio, it did make me wonder whether it would have felt tighter if made by people who weren't such huge fans. At a Q&A after the film, Greene went on at length about his love for the band, which kind of exposed one of the film's flaws. They just didn't know when or how to end it, if in fact they even wanted to.
