To me, what you see as "stilted" is not surprising (and actually more "real"
and believable then the slick talking, pretty boy, DIY carpenters with
nothing but their buns to recommend them for the job) since DJM is so
obviously not an actor, and apparently delivering lines exactly as he is
required to do.

There is a lot in what you are saying. A friend of mine brought over a
tape of a Who concert (shot way back when Moonie was still in it) which
was obviously shot by something like a local cable company. The audio
didn't have a whole lot of dynamic range, but it was all natural. Two
camera positions. The lighting was plain awful.
But you know what? It was real. There was no production. Naked Who.
The bootleg is the best of a large Who collection my buddy owns, and it
would never have been approved for release by the studio weasels because
it is too real. Warts and all. Just fabulous.
Sometimes the polish completly hides the artwork.
