Follow My Voice: With the Music of Hedwig
Homophobes AND Homophones Need Not Apply
Trailer
US Release Date - will air on the Sundance Channel
July 27 at 9 p.m
If you've ever seen Hedwig, as a stage musical or in its cinematic form, you know the music kicks more (gl)ass than Remo Williams [vid]. And if yer a Wig-head, you probably already own the redonkelous tribute cover album, Wig In A Box, featuring the likes of Frank Black, Rufus Wainwright, Spoon, Robyn Hitchcock, Jonathan Richman, The Polyphonic Spree, Imperial Teen, Yoko Ono & Yo La Tengo, The Breeders, Bob Mould, Sleater-Kinney & Fred Schneider, They Might Be Giants, Cyndi Lauper & The Minus 5, the Bens (Ben Kweller, Ben Folds, & Ben Lee), and yes, even Stephen Colbert. And if you don't know what I's is talkin bout, u have a lotta effin catching up to do. Anywho, if you qualify as a Hed-head, yer gonna love this doc about the making of said tribute album that in turn dumps its proceeds on America's very first LGBTQ school, The Hetrick-Martin Institute, aka the home of The Harvey Milk High School. But the making of is juss 1/2 the picture. The other 1/2 explores the inner workings of the school itself, as seen tru the eyes of a handful of students, with varied backgrounds and orientations. The only crying shames are that not many will see this fab doc, and not many will buy the CD. Only 75K has been raised so far. What up wit dat shit? I mean it's all about the Benjamins, and the Bens! Wonder if Winona Ryder ever offered em a foursome?
Recommended for those who like: Hedwig & The Angry Inch, the music of Hedwig , and gay AND straight people who love Hedwig
Possible Porno Name: Swallow My Moist: Making Sweet Music While You Give Me Head Like Butch Vig
Unsatisfied with this? Netflix the breastest/wurstet making of an album doc, Let It Be, which in this case, sadly co-stars Yoko Ono, and was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who should never be confused with Wernham-Hogg
Apt MPupil3: 'Pirate In A Box' by Lemon Demon [d] and 'Just Pretend' by The Bens [d] or juss buy the dang CD and help make some gay kids even gayer than Gay-le Sayers
IMDb Sweeney: how could there be any Sweeney when there aint shee-at on the b of IMD?
TFF Thighspotting: three of the students featured in the feature, including model Mey Bun, who should not be confused with Messy Bun
John Grisham's Jizzum (aka Verdict): It's a doc, so how could it not be Breast In Show?
and here's the .5
and I say .5
cause it's not a new flick
but some old shiz
The River
Runs Through (sh)It
I'm all for viddying old classics on the big screen, but this 1951 Jean Renoir trifle is the kinda flaz u see on TCM and turn the channel after about 8 seconds. It's such a snoozer that I actually took a well deserved 20 minute nap. I mean, c'mon, you try watching 10 movies in less than a week's time and ruling the world's thighs with an iron fisting!! The only thing worth uddering is that the lead girl, who's suppose to be ugly, is really ugly (sorry, dats the only snap I could find). Both of my rents agreed. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Maybe they'll remake this with Orlando Boo and Kate Snoozeworth and zzzzzzzz...
Recommended for those who like: x, y, and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Possible Porno Name: not even mrs butterWORTH my time
Unsatisfied with this? Visit a better work by Renior, at DC's Phillips Collection
Apt MPupil3: Wanna really put yoself to sleep? Listen to 'River of Dreams' by Billy Joel [d]
IMDb Sweeney: Hottie Adrienne Corri would later in appear in A Clockwork Orange as the writer's wife who gets ultra-raped by the Droogies [NSFW]
TFF Thighspotting: Me thinks whilst nappin I dreamt of JoJo, does that count?
John Grisham's Jizzum (aka Verdict): it really isn't all that bad, but I cannot recommended it, and thus Sum Merit, But No Stinkin Badges!
(don't worry folks, only 4 more reviews left!)
