I'm kind of agnostic on the subject. In Boston, most of the docs have gone over very well. The one exception is when a World's Fair film (WORLD OF TOMORROW) was shown. A near riot broke out. It was a slow and pokey film, but, I really liked it when I saw it on PBS before it played at the Marathon. The hostility there certainly ruined that screening! Most docs there have been scheduled around Dinner Break times, so that the folks who don't care to see a Documentary, can skip out for some food (or a nap).
With CAPTAINS there is also the matter that is a faux "Premiere". It debuted on Cable last July and has been re-run ever since and can be watched online. I'd still wouldn't mind seeing it, but, DVD projection kind of lessens that desire.
P.S. As regards to "CREEP!", the movie isn't even done yet. My writing partner has been interviewed for the movie (we did a piece on the film) and the guy just finished raising funds to begin principal production. It's a ways off.
