Here's some new George Carlin art to celebrate!

“Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band” (1978)

-This film is so not good, yet is completely worth watching with a game audience. It becomes a collective disbelief

-like, remaking psychedelic songs in the body of cocaine filled disco muzak is legitimately funny.

-To that end, Donald Pleasance menacingly crooning the opening of “she’s so heavy” with an utterly detached “I want yyyyou, I want yoooouuuuu so bad” is one of the five biggest laughs I’ve had this year

-it’s startling to me to think that George burns, born in the late 1800s, was singing a song about kites from a bunch of twenty somethings, and he is just so game for it

-there are a lot of flavors of bonkers choices, but having Steve Martin being fucking terrible at singing “Maxwell silver’s hammer” is just so wrong that I love it

-I actually like that song (surprised to see others don’t) and yet it does nobody in this film any favors

-Aerosmith probably does the best suiting the song to their personality. Their version of “Come Together” is wonderful

-it is also possible that no one can fuck up “golden slumbers” because it still comes across as resonant and life affirming even though Peter Frampton sings it here (he’s a good guitarist though)

-there is a mock belief called “the magical negro” where a black person (usually a guy) comes in with god like powers to set everything right for sad white boys (and everyone else can go fuck themselves)

-Billy Preston, hot to trot as the title character, redoing his own song(only musician co credited with the Beatles) in a soul way, may be the uber example. His lightning bolt shots just destroy all the gloom, and why he couldn’t have been there in the beginning, who fucking cares. It’s an ending, and a hilarious one at that

-after the lights went up, a guy (in a autographed crew jacket for this film) said to me “I’m not sure who had more fun watching this, you or me”. I dunno ether, but by the power of rock n roll, was my humor nerves shaken and my giddy brain rattled.

Now watching:

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978, dir. Michael Schultz)

I haven’t seen this in something like 40 years. I can’t imagine it’s good, but I hope it’s entertaining.

'The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones' on Disney+

The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (1992-1999) was a labor of love from producer George Lucas. Originally broadcast on ABC as The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, each episode of hour-long weekly series took viewers on a globetrotting journey with young Indiana Jones and his parents, landing in historical hotspots and meeting legendary figures. Lucas himself wrote the stories for nearly half of…

30 June 2023

Film: CAR WASH (d. Michael Schultz, 1976, USA)

Forum: Doc Films   Format: 35mm

Observations: I will never tire of this pitch-perfect Los Angeles comedy, apparently all filmed on location. The script (by Joel Schumacher) and filmmaker give every character (and a huge, fine cast) a moment in the sun. The highlight to me remains the irritable relationship between the older-but-wiser ex-con Lonnie (Ivan Dixon) and the hot-headed revolutionary (Bill Duke); their final scene is beautifully felt. About 30 showed up for this show.
