this was AWESOME. i love sesame street and whilst i'm not a huge fan of elmo (he's not old school enough for me) i loved this documentary about a boy who loved puppets and grew into a man who's life is muppetry. the fabulous kevin clash and his elmo. the audience were terrific, gasping when kevin was offered place on the dark crystal film then all laughing at our collective gasp. i love how these shows make us feel, sesame street, the muppet show, fraggle rock, labrynth - i blame you, jim henson. these are the types of stories i want to be part of, that kind of magic.
film 29: shut up little man! an audio misadventure
a strange tale of two housemates in the late 80s, who happen to live next door to two men who yell at each other when drunk. they are recorded for a couple of years and these tapes are sent out into the world. first through friends then through mail order. as sad as peter and raymond were in yelling at each other, going over the same old, same old - it seemed that the two guys who taped them were in the same time loop, reliving old glories over and again and not moving on, just as sad.
