"Now you've made me the King of Assholia, to quote myself." To celebrate Dennis Miller's unemployment, the Bob of Frankendorfer sent me this from this page. And now, the sane Dennis Miller from the past confronts Bush's lapdog in... THE MILLERS CROSSING FADE IN: ( Read more... ) | | Tuesday, March 1st, 2005 | | 7:39 pm |

Crispin Glover I just got a ticket to this... :-D http://www.originalalamo.com/downtown/frames.aspCRISPIN HELLION GLOVER LIVE IN PERSON! "It's like Fellini on psychedelics -- wildly creative but completely twisted." Jane Ganahl, San Francisco Examiner FOR THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED PREMIERE OF THE COMPLETED FILM WHAT IS IT? Plus: the 8 o?clock screenings include THE BIG SLIDE SHOW! For several years, we?ve been giving Crispin Glover phone calls at six-month intervals to check up on the status of WHAT IS IT?, the first in a trilogy of surreal, inter-connected features directed, edited and financed by the eccentric character actor. Workprints of the film have popped up at public screenings here and there, but this fall sees the long-awaited premiere of the completed film in a blown-up 35mm print. Told almost entirely with a cast of Down?s Syndrome actors, WHAT IS IT? is about "the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe and how to get home, as tormented by an hubristic racist innner psyche." The slide show is a multimedia presentation Crispin mounts using images from his gorgeously bound hardcover art-books, audio sampling from his album THE BIG PROBLEM and text read aloud. Victorian precedents are recalled with the creepy, sinewy etchings and long, expository titles (What It Is and How It Is Done; Concrete Inspection: A Family Story Where a Mother Is Looking for Something & Finds It), but all modified through Crispin?s own highly developed aesthetic. More than cut-ups or collage, Crispin?s books and films make most ?outsider art? seem thoughtless in execution by comparison. A 1989 Film Comment article said of the performer, "He's the only actor who makes this world without Andy Kaufman an interesting place in which to watch." (Kier-La Janisse) Crispin Glover will be signing his books following each screening. Showings (click on a show time to buy tickets): Saturday, November 13 4:30 pm 8:00 pm - includes slide show!

I suck. If Choda Boy makes me nervous, some of the people I've already instructed my casting director to contact may give me a panic attack. Oy. | | Thursday, June 3rd, 2004 | | 12:05 am |
Today I spent 11 hours holding a boom mike for a documentary on Log Cabin Republicans (gay republicans, for those who don't know). The ones we dealt with all day were all very nice and somewhat likable people if you can get past the fact that they are certifiably insane. At least I'll get to see something I worked on air on TV, though. Trio sometime before the election and Bravo sometime after. The director was this guy though he said his name was Paul, not Wash. And I didn't get paid BUT... the coordinator who hired me is awesome. Her brother wrote the book "House Of Bush, House Of Saud" and will be in Michael Moore's new movie. Plus, I may be getting paid quite a lot to do something really cool on Friday... Current Mood:  exhausted | | Sunday, May 23rd, 2004 | | 1:27 pm |

Our race entry, "You Can Have It!" will screen in the Late Arrivals showcase Wednesday night at 1015pm. I think we're last. The screening is at the Angelika at Central & Mockingbird and non-racer admission is $2. Come check it out, Dallas kids! | | Sunday, May 9th, 2004 | | 12:07 pm |
Video Race! So, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) miskatonika and I, along with 4 other guys, did the 24 Hour Video Race and missed the deadline. We still might get screened for the crowds on Tue or Wed. We would've won, too. In our 5 minute short film we worked in: Gratuitous cleavage! A bloodied and beaten child! A stolen kidney! A man dying face down in generic brand Cocoa Puffs! Oversized novelty check! I got to use two of my Caffeine girls again and fun was had indeed. Hopefully we can get this bitch online for the kids to see... | | Saturday, May 1st, 2004 | | 5:20 pm |

From Mr Cranky's review of The Alamo: "The Alamo is considered the central battle and primary rallying cry in the fight to make Texas an independent republic and, subsequently, a state of the U.S. Like I care. All Texas has ever given the rest of the country is a whole bunch of attitude and one-term presidents with a penchant for foreign wars. It's a state where toxins are good business, Ken Lay is a civic hero and it's legal to stone your own children to death as long you claim that God told you to do it. Fuck the Alamo, and fuck Texas. .... By the end, many in the audience were in tears, not because they were emotionally affected, but because it was so bad they couldn't stand it anymore. It's the first movie I've ever attended where there was a queue to get out 20 minutes before the credits rolled. If you do go, because you're being punished or a masochist or just a product of the Texas educational system and don't know any better, play this game: Pick a random theatergoer in front of you and watch to see how much time passes before he checks his watch. Do this several times. My observed average: about 40 seconds. If this game gets old, shout out, "Where's the basement?" every time there's a pause in the action. If you're lucky, like I was, you'll get the whole audience to join in. " Current Mood:  amusedCurrent Music: They Might Be Giants - Memo To Human Resources | | Tuesday, April 6th, 2004 | | 7:16 pm |
So..... ... anyone here already get "Indestructible Object" and rip it to MP3 that'd be kind enough to send it to TwitchingMonkey@aol.com for a poor chimp who can't buy it until Saturday but wants to hear "Memo To Human Resources" right friggin' now and can't find it on Kazaa?
