And the original is only 17 minutes long.
Can't believe no one has mentioned this in this thread:
HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT.
Genius. (And inspired several other Parking Lot docs...)
It's REAL raw, but I love it.
URGH! A MUSIC WAR is a great capsule of the new wave and punk scene in Los Angeles of the late 70s.
C'mon people, there has to be a new home for Joe Bob!
Sez you, Wordle
I'm in! I thought it was, like, cold whipped ranch, but it's just used like whipped cream on top. Plus nuggets? Sweet and savory is definitely my jam. I dip cheeseburgers into chocolate shakes all the time. I'M IN.

He sure wanted to.
I spent an afternoon and evening with one of the people responsible for Michael Jacksonβs death.
Your instincts are correct!
Many years ago Ahmet Zappa and I sold an animated pilot to Klasky-Csupo (the Rugrats people) called BENCH PRESSLY: THE WORLDβS STRONGEST PRIVATE DICK. Basically Dick Tracy set in Vegas of the future. During casting I suggested Bruce Campbell, but no one at the company knew who he was
1/
(cont) Bruce was fun to work with, a nice guy, and a good sport about the whole situation. Iβm not sure what βtreatable but not curableβ means, but Iβll keep a good thought for him in hopes heβll be able to make more horror fansβ dreams come true like he did for me.
(cont) We kept up just long enough for the pilot not to sell, and that was that. Sidebar: Bruce had recently played my friend Tuc Watkinsβ gay lover on Showtimeβs Beggars & Choosers, and was more than happy to chat about that.
6/
(cont) This was 2003, the same week BUBBA HO-TEP was released. At the LA screening I texted Bruce while we were in line, he came out and made a bee-line for my friends and I. We chatted and took a pic. I wonβt lie - it was a really cool week to be a horror person. 5/
(cont) He read the script and eventually agreed to audition. The Klasky-Csupo folks were convinced, & he was cast. Also cast - Tim Curry. Cut to: weeks later, Ahmet and I are giving Bruce & Tim voice acting direction in the recording studio.
4/
(cont) I explained the pilot & the situation, & asked if I could send him the script. I included my phone number, and in defiance of how things work in Hollywood, he called me directly 20 minutes later. I was shocked. We chatted abt the pilot, I told him he would have to audition (not my choice)
3/
(cont) I knew they would make Bruce audition, which at that point he didnβt do - he was βoffer onlyβ by then. But I really thought he would be great. Bruce had a website back then where you could just email him directly, so in complete defiance Hollywood protocol, I did.

You misspelled Scream 4
Hmmm not that I remember, but I have a recurring low boil inflammatory situation that I take it for during the dqy and it works.
Totally. Ibuprofen is a anti-inflammatory, and it just calms everything down in me. Give it a shot! When it starts happening to me, I just get up and take a couple, and within about 20 minutes everything has calmed down. I also take it when I have insomnia. It seems to work for that too.
My cure for that is taking ibuprofen when it happens. Works every time!
I made 20 and sold them all except one XS. I may do another round tho β¦ :)
π you this much:

My husband and I saw the last screening of THE HUNT at the Cinerama Dome on March 15, 2020, turned on our phones to the EBS notice the city was shutting down for Covid the next day. That poster stayed on the marquee for almost a year.
