CDXLVI
Well, we got some work done alright.
we watched a couple more episodes of Sid and Marty Croft's The Bugaloos, which we have been working on for well over a year now.
We then watched TWO movies that, i am guessing, where straight to video that were written by Patrick Casey and Worm Miller who we are BIG fans of, unfortunately most of the movies that they write seem to really suck...just for the record here are the two films:
National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze
(directed by the Hillenbrand brothers 2003, DVD)
Gamebox 1.0
(directed by the Hillenbrand brothers 2004, DVD)
then there was:
Porcile / Pigsty
(written and directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini 1969, DVD)
Which was a pretty good flick, but far too political and or just plan smart for us to fully wrap our heads around...
We also watched:
The Elephant Man
(directed by Jack Hofsiss 1982, Laserdisc)
This was a pretty good taped performance of the stage play about John Merrick, a 19th century Londoner who was extremely deformed. You may recall David Lynch's film about the same instance.
And then, of course, we finished with:
The Beaver Trilogy
(directed by Trent Harris 2000, DVD)
C and I had been on the lookout for this for a couple of years ever since we attended a screening of Crispin Glover's film What Is It? and heard him say during a question and answer period that one of the only projects that he had been involved with that he thought had any merit was a short film called The Orkly Kid, which as it turns out, is the third part of the trilogy about the true life story of Garry a 21 year old from Beaver Utah that wants to be on TV to do impressions, mostly of Olivia Newton John. The first segment, entitled The Beaver Kid, is an actual documentary shot in 1979. The second part, Beaver kid 2 stars Sean Penn as 'Larry', and of course Glover takes up the mantle in 1985 with The Orkly Kid. Good stuff.
Well, i have to put my wash in the drier now.
