Hello again :-) I do agree, wistfully but practically, that film!Bruce is not really capable of putting together the scarecrow images; it really is much too awkward. (Although I will argue -- after reading too many articles on the Aeneid recently -- that a lot of scholarship is fanwank :-).
So, either this is unfair/sloppy on the part of actual!Bruce to insert footage that is *not* part of the mockumentary into the mockumentary, or he is doing it deliberately. I suppose the "why" of the "deliberately" could be any number of things, from just wanting to recreate the weirdness and confusion of the acid trip to, um, mocking the mockumentary, or various other reasons.
It is terrible interesting how everyone in the movie "uses" everyone else. That's why I think that Bucky is interesting. He withdrew b/c he was tired of being "used", and Joe continued to "use" him in absentia, which Bucky knows. I don't think that Bucky is deliberately seeking vengeance; I just think that his powerful presence shows up Joe's weaknesses (and lies), and it seems that the downward descent of the band is hastened after the visit to the farm.
Okay, I am shutting up now until I watch it again.
