Because the cast is merely one facet of this completely magnificent clusterfuck of a film.  Music by Toto and Brian Eno, the movie was super-long, the producers took it from Lynch and re-edited it into a near incomprehenisble mess.  But it’s a mess like an omelette is a mess, so many good bits, who cares it looks like the Pizza the Hutt character from Spaceballs.</p> <p>there’s huge worms, and sonic weapons, and weird drugs that everybody takes, and big whale slug things that teleport, and all the good guys have creepy superblue eyes, and, hm, I think it might even be a movie about how the natives create a successful insurgency and toss out their imperial oppressors.</p> <p>Damn, this omelette is heavy.</p>http://blog.louobedlam.com/post/135155016http://blog.louobedlam.com/post/135155016Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:53:00 -0700<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/louobedlam/3685345945/">TURN YOUR BACK ON WORK, THE WEEKEND IS HERE</a>http://blog.louobedlam.com/post/135088058http://blog.louobedlam.com/post/135088058Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:23:40 -0700<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://blog.louobedlam.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/134981802/O8WEIW6mApgzlsutJ5ROG4WU&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p><i>Freedom - Richie Havens</i></p> <p>One of my earliest concert experiences is my mom taking me to see Richie Havens at this local guitar shop that was also a popular little music venue.</p> <p>He informed us, between songs, to stop paying taxes and love one another.</p> <p>He is awesome.</p> <p>He is also awesome because he was the opening at at Woodstock.  Not only did he open, but he stalled!
