I loved the hell out of Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, but I have no idea why. I love Forte when he works with those two, but not much otherwise.
In other news, watch the Cage joint Zandalee as soon as possible.
a commitment to Tennessee Williams-esque absurdity, aggressive sex, and intermittent Cajun accents barely tether Zandalee to reality. A mustachio'd Judge Reinhold has given up a writing career, and with it any chance of giving good sex to his wife -- because writers make the best lovers. Good thing former childhood pal and current artist Nic Cage comes in to fill the void. While it's impossible to get past Reinhold's strained attempts at trying to act hard, Cage imposes a palpable sexual danger into the central love triangle. Only he could treat 9 1/2 Weeks-level sexy garbage as if it were The Glass Menagerie.
Within the first five minutes, there's hilariously unnecessary full frontal nudity, Cajun Reinhold wearing a fez, and Cage spraying whipped cream on a stripper's vagina while Reinhold opines "he always had a sweet tooth." Steve Buscemi, Marisa Tomei, and Billy from Gremlins all pop up in small roles; Joe Pantoliano's sassy cross-dressing shopkeeper runs away with the supporting actor MVP here though.
It's barely worth talking about.
The cinematography was lame, too, compared to other modern B&W works.
I'm all about Rivette. Then Resnais. Then Chabrol. Then Truffaut. Then Demy.
Rohmer's a good writer but his films don't do much for me.
