Our Lady of Perpetual Hell

Nice reviews of the new Charles Nelson Reilly film here and here. Less satisfied review here.

I’d considered going down to Tronna to see it this weekend until I read that the whole 3-hour-plus stage show that Reilly performed will be available on the upcoming DVD. The film’s theatrical release whittles it down to just under half that. And I was willing to settle for that hour and a half because, the way I figgered it, that was better than nuthin’. But when I found out the whole shebang would be on the disk, well… That changed things.

Incidentally, the reviewers don’t mention it but there is a Q&A with the filmmakers after the 4:30pm screening today at the Bloor.

It plays at the Bloor Cinema until Monday, then moves to the newly reopened Revue Cinema on Wednesday and Thursday.

I’d love to see it on the big screen, but I’d rather see the whole dang performance. So. I wait. Message to my Tronna friends–if you see it, lemme know whatcha think!

Oh, I love this!

According to PopCandy, Freixenet comes up with an elaborate Christmas commercial every year and Martin Scorsese helms the 2007 version.

The concept is that Scorsese is shooting the three-and-a-half-page remnant of a Hitchcock script and he is shooting in the style of Hitch. And he does an excellent job of it! This is a lotta fun. Enjoy!

Yeah. Now you know how we feel, Junior.

With thanks to Digital Eargasm, enjoy Chris Classic vs Nazareth…

(Okay, okay… it’s up at Apple.)

Oooh, golly, I didn’t even know this was coming… a film about the great (and outspoken!) Harlan Ellison. Here’s a (rather timely!) clip..

There are more clips at the website.

If you have never read any Ellison, go away and come back once you have. G’wan.
