The Val Kilmer documentary on Prime is very good.

You can’t help but have empathy for the man. It’s obvious that he’s been through his share of struggles. I thought his son did a great job. It’s a good watch if you appreciate fallen heroes and stories of redemption.

His home movies of his iconic roles are awesome. Dude seems to have a good attitude towards his affliction.

I just randomly watched it last night not knowing it had just debuted and yes, it's amazing how he's not letting it destroy him even though he (naturally) admits to depression.
I'm glad too that he realizes the Comic Con conventions aren't about him trading off his name and past, but more about the audience's chance to share their love and appreciation for him and his work.

Val is super talented but in his prime the guy was a head case. It’s obvious he was troubled but I’m glad I’m his later years he has come around and become a humble guy
EDIT: anyone downvoting look up his behavior on the set of the island of dr. Moreau. Dude was burning extras with cigarettes

He was absolutely brilliant as Doc in Tombstone.

You're talking about a set that had Richard Stanley and Marlon Brando on it. There was plenty of insanity and egos to go around.

That was the heaviest part of the doc for me.

It might not be a very well received. He seemed rather thoughtful. Unlike most Hollywood a man that knows classics by heart.
Healing is not born of vanity. It is born of honesty. Honesty is born of pure love. And love is the most divine healer. The sweetest, holiest, and most effective.

I agree with this assessment. He is really very different than I thought. Straight up dude.

As someone who was born the same year Kilmer, and have my own health problems, this documentary was right in my wheelhouse. My own problems have put me in a similar, sometimes nearly embarrassing, situation. I think his honesty about his current situation was therapeutic for me. Being messed up physically doesn't have to be all bad, if you have a loving family, and good health care.
Some may not respect him for using his past success to work the shows. I think it's more honorable than living off of disability.
Seeing how serious he took his work, leads me to believe he may have been right in some of the disagreements he had with directors.
The personal videos he took while making movies confirmed how good an actor's life can be!
No wonder that's what Pinocchio wanted it so badly.

Should have won an Oscar for Tombstone.

His poor ex had to deal with him walking around in character for a year as Jim Morrison. That was hilarious.

I’m about halfway through watching it. Holy shite, I had no idea his health was so bad. That’s sad to watch. I’m glad he has a good outlook on life still. Ans it’s awesome to see he and his son interact. The love is palpable. It’s cool. Of course I had to cut it off right when it gets into Tombstone.

On a side note, Joanne Whalley was/is incredibly hot. I always felt like he was a really lucky guy to have pulled that... even though he probably could have had just about any female on the planet in the late 80s/early 90s.

It was tough seeing Val talking.
I’m curious to see how they will use him in the Top Gun sequel considering his condition

Did they say what happened to his Twain script?
It seems like the show was doing well enough to warrant a studio purchasing the rights. I know that wasn’t his vision but I don’t see how he could direct anything in his current condition. He could at least make some money off of his work and maybe relieve some of his financial pressure.

This was captivating in the way people slow down to stare at a car accident as you drive by. It was also a nice trip down memory lane to see him behind the scenes as he was filming those memorable films.
Like many people with money, he wasn't good at handling his financial affairs and now has to go on the road displaying himself in a way that I guessing he's embarrassed to display publicly. I do think he finds comfort in the fans accepting him as he is but he isn't comfortable living off his past.
The part that was tough to watch was when he was signing autographs and got so sick he had to lay down. To his credit, he sucked it up and soldiered through.
Good flick
