that was on my answering machine until I had to start looking for a job.
send me an angel! (or at least a bmxing aunt becky.)
other great movies (that some would call bad): something weird (within the
first five minutes, you will see what is quite simply the greatest filmic
transition in history), the hills have eyes (he weighed 20 pounds and was
hairy as a monkey!), ed wood's films, obviously; bloodsucking freaks (has a
more morally-repugnant film been made? this one is borderline despicable, if
there were anyway to take it seriously), anything with chuck heston, and even
more so, his teeth, the televangelical praisings of Benny Hinn (the anointing
is such a beautiful thing. . .) and bob tilton, the first half of hard rock
zombies (it goes real downhill real quick in the last act), alien dead (where
you actually see when the cast starts "acting," always a few seconds after
the film starts rolling), showgirls (i'm a dancer, damnit!), nail gun
massacre, cloak & dagger (dabney coleman!), friday the 13th part iv (a bald
child corey feldman? a spastically dancing crispin glover? are these not
cinematically genius moments?) . . .
the list just never ends.
and, for god's sake, see magnolia. a truly heart-breaking film, with nary a
weak moment from the cast. . .even tom cruise. an amazing epochal moment, of
which i won't speak. i will concede that the inclusion of a.) the rap
sequence, and b.)the aimee mann song detract from the film, but overall,
damn. the best film this year? very possibly.
say you, say me. . . sing it lionel.
