The no-budget independent film movement known as "Mumblecore" has
been getting a lot of press lately, which most likely means it's
over. That may be just as well. The label was always a derisive joke
to the gaggle of filmmakers lumped under it - Andrew Bujalski, of
"Funny Ha Ha" and "Mutual Appreciation"; Mark and Jay Duplass, of
"The Puffy Chair"; Joe Swanberg, of "LOL"; among others.
Anyway, categories are for movie critics, newspaper editors, and
other parsers ...
