Today, on Sesame Street, a bunch of monster muppets
were explaining
shapes, and this furry triangle popped up, and one of
'em said, "I
LOVE the furry triangle!"

A bunch of the muppets were whooping it up
in the Sesame Street saloon;
The kids were all counting from zero to nine,
To the sounds of some catchy tune;
Back of the place, in an old garbage can,
sat Dangerous Oscar the Grouch,
And watching his luck was his light-o'-love,
A lady, a giant black mouse.

Urrrgh, a terrible film. Totally obsessed with Muppet
bodily
fluids. While I think that an "Anti-Muppet Movie"
is still a worthy
goal for parodists, "Meet The Feebles" was
a wasted chance. Hard to
believe that the same director has produced the LOTR
films. I personally
prefer wit to my satire, not shock-schlock just for
its own sake.
We showed it during the SF Marathon here at CWRU 2
years ago...
only the 3 projectionists (1 reputedly drunk) in the
whole packed theatre
liked it...everyone else who was in the audience still
is moaning about
it today.
YMMV, of course.

Oh, good, so it wasn't just me. People kept telling
me to see that
movie, but when I finally watched it, I couldn't last
15 minutes.
Seemed like dopey kid stuff.
I saw an even earlier Peter Jackson movie, can't remember
the title, no
wait, "BAD TASTE" I think was the title. Looked
about 20 years old.
Couldn't watch that for long, either -- it was so technically
crude it
was simply hard to follow.
Seeing both these badfilms CHEERED ME MIGHTILY, because
they prove that
a guy can have a long string of terrible low budget
home made films
(like I do), yet still produce damn near The Greatest
Monster Movie
Ever. HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL, you see.
I saw part of Jackson's "The Frighteners,"
which looked like a fun
transition between the crap and the excellence.

you should have stuck it out. it was far more boring
and pointless than
anything you could have imagined a mere 15 minutes in.

Well, yer problem is, from the 'fim artiste' point
of view in time, that you push the CotSG too hard
and you frighten them. The most sneeringly ignorant
comment I've yet heard about the CotSG is that it
is a "Kollege Komedy Kult", and a rather *dated*
one
at that. INCORRECT, yet DEAD ON, from the point of
view of one of the UNWASHED PINK CRITICS.
In other words, you are ignoring the advice to "act
like a dumbshit."
Think about it: Russ Meyer was a "genius"
for his
first three movies, it taking forever for the critics
to realize that *that* was the only way he could do
it. The dumbshit way. Andy Warhol's most beloved
actor was Joe Delassandro, because he *was* a dumbshit.
Just the *whiff* of Ron Jeremy in a movie pumps it
up--but they never explore his full acting potential.
Ron never gets to play Hamlet opposite Meryl Streep,
but he COULD. And the critics would love it. But he
is wasted in cameos.
Imagine directing a film starring SubGenii, un-actors
in a Russ Meyer quality script. With Edward G. Wood
quality dialogue (of which you have plenty available),
shot with the annoying Quentin Tarantino MTV look,
except very poorly done, cutting off heads and legs.
Day is night, up is down, the CON are the good guys,
corporate America and product placement are SOLID
AND RIGHT ON. The actors SMOKE ILLICIT TOBACCO
CIGARETTES! They WATCH TEEVEE and GO TO THE BATHROOM!
And, last but not least, ONCE and ONLY ONCE in the
movie, there is an extra in back who has a pipe in
his mouth. A non-speaking part.
Can I run this up a flagpole for you to salute?

I didn't care for it either. However, I really enjoyed
"Forgotten
Silver" which he co-directed. The premise is that
every major
development in film technology and technique was first
developed by an
unknown New Zealander with incredibly bad luck. The
re-creations of
silent films are dead on, and the "comedian"
whose sole schtick is to
attack unsuspecting strangers is kind of "I don't
know what."

I saw some unnamed Japanese game/shock show footage
once, in which
this peculiar character in a checkerboard hat went into
little "noodle
bars", turned to people with no warning and just
let out this ENORMOUS
SCREAM. Of course, they shit entire bars of soap at
high speeds like a
giant watermelon seed, as the Japs are normally rather
staid and
polite in public, despite their horrific manga. Here,
you'd just get
rabbit-punched.
Likewise, the guy crept in and set up a small toy-like
but still real
CANNON at the mouth of this poor guy's bedroom. They're
using a
low-light camera, mind you; its quite dark. He pulls
the cord and
BOOM, a hole appears in the wall over the guy's head.
He all but does
a triple flip at being brought INSTANTLY AWAKE BY A
FUCKING CANNON.
Great fun! You'd be sued down to your bone marrow here,
but there,
people often apologize for not being better victims.
Attacking strangers is funny, unless its you. Those
wacky Japs! I
love 'em, despite that ubiquitous Pokemon drivel.

i'm sure a lot of Japanese go around saying "Those
wacky Americans! I love
'em, despite that ubiquitous rap drivel."
