Perhaps if MTV had sunk its teeth into things and put the whole film through the quick-cut music-video grinder, at least they could be seen to stand by their principles. Otherwise, "Joe's Apartment" fails, despite however millions of years its stars have survived. Wait for stars even lower in the march of evolution: Beavis and Butthead...

It becomes clear that Jimi hasn't totally submitted to the insensitive, hopeless grinder through which the world has plugged him. In a cartoonish way, he still cares, and that in turn makes us care. The question remains, however, whether he cares, or we care, enough...
