Goofs
Holzman shows a montage of TV he says he watched on a Tuesday night in July 1967. He was wrong about the night. Although it's hard to date the Huntley/Brinkley Report newscast or the Joey Bishop Show late-night talk show, neither Batman, Star Trek or the Dean Martin Show aired on a Tuesday night. In July 1967, Batman aired on Wednesday and Thursday nights and Star Trek and the Dean Martin Show aired on Thursday nights. The montage is from a Thursday night.

Quotes
David Holzman: It was like rooms everything is so perfect, that everything is so perfect that they have to be kept, that because this random particular accidental state so meaningful, so, so touching, it's so touching, it's so beautiful.

An early faux documentary film school classic

If you liked the Blair Witch Project, this is where they probably got the idea. Every film school shows this as an example of a completely fictional documentary, that works. Done in cinema verite style, the fictional angst filled life of a documentary maker falls apart, as he chronicles its disintegration, largely caused by his obsession with filming it as it crumbles. Like watching a train wreck.
