Wed, March 17, 2004 - 7:46 PMI heard about its production, and unfortunately IMDB has very little information on it. :(
But, I just added two Crispin Glover screennames to my AIM buddy list...

Tue, March 23, 2004 - 12:34 AMi have seen it, he screened a rough cut at a theater here in denver when he toured. it was quite strange and extremley disturbing. people with down's syndrome masturbating each other, an attractive woman wearing only a gorilla mask masturbating an old man....bugs getting squished...etc. not really much sense of a narrative...just more like watching a movie and constantly going 'what the fuck?' a good experience, tho. i found that his readings from rat-catching and oak mot were the the absolute high point of the tour. totally entertaining. dunno if i would say the same about his movie....i would class it along the lines of a film like begotten...it wasnt necessarily entertaining, but i feel better for having watched it. -

Fri, January 5, 2007 - 7:28 PMI saw it in Portland Oregon and it had a very dreamy feel to it...the downs angels were bizarre, but over all it was very engaging....it is a lot like reading one of his books..Hope you can land a copy! Peace
