Cannibal! The Musical is tits. What a swell film. Bless Lloyd Kaufman for funding that work of art. BASEketball is also good, but despite starring Matt and Trey, it's a David Zucker film, and is more along his style. I'm sure you've all seen Orgazmo...but if you haven't...there's something wrong with you, and you must remedy that.
I finally saw The Beyond. Acquired a brand new, factory sealed copy of the tin edition for $34.50 shipped.
Swell movie. Also watched Fulci's City of the Living Dead, which is also great.
I watched Orson Welles' F for Fake last night. What an incredibly gifted speaker, poet, actor, filmmaker, painter, etc. This movie is a bit complicated to really explain in a couple sentences. It's mostly all about fakery, charlatanism, trickery, lying, etc. It's a dramatic documentary of sorts; it started out as a documentary on Elmyr de Hory, a famous art forger, based on a biography written by Clifford Irving, and includes interviews with both men. However, during the making of the film, it was discovered that Irving himself was a forger, whose autobiography on Howard Hughes was a fake. Welles was then inspired by all of this to change the movie around, to edit in unique ways and make about fakery and charlatanism in the world all-around. He even for a short bit of the film makes it a biography of himself, and how he has been called a fake all his life, considering he got into acting by appearing at a theater claiming to be a Broadway star, despite never having been on a stage.
It's another one of Welles' revolutionary films, and is perhaps solely responsible for the fast-paced editing we're familiar with today. He intended to make a whole new form of film--and people lashed out at it at the time for being so unconventional. However, now quick cutting is very common. To think that this man has done so much to push on the evolution of movie making. Citizen Kane is solely responsible for dynamic camera angles and movements in films.
