Explode or project

Exploring the cinematic flop that was Envy. I think you could say that (among other things) it suffered from an overly naturalistic view of art: this is something that people do, we've recreated it exactly, why don't you like it? The saying "it's funny 'cause it's true" doesn't imply that if true, then funny. Or interesting. I think this is coming off as very harsh on the movie, which isn't completely fair. It's not completely like what I wrote above, nor is it devoid of funny and interesting parts. It's not bad, just nothing special.
