knightmare knock knock

The big show is tonight and finally I get to see the Knightmares. Also, Pets and Knock Knock at Old I. Starting at 9:00. Six bucks.

For fans of Ali G, the good news is that there's going to be a Borat movie!!!! http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=7238 The first director quit but another guy is taking over. Here's why, "Todd Phillips (OLD SCHOOL) was working with Cohen to direct the film on the sly - keeping potential victims of Borat's schemes unsuspecting - but the two had frequent creative clashes and after an ugly incident at a rodeo, where the Borat character mangled the "Star Spangled Banner" and the locals nearly reached a riot, Phillips left the production."

If you've seen the insanity of Borat singing the fake Kazakhstan anthem at a small town baseball game you will not be surprised that he almost incited a riot.

Does anyone need evidence that Harmony Korine is dumb? Probably not, but if so, I would like to offer the fact that he cites the Werner Herzog movie "even dwarves started small" as his favorite movie. Two hours of little people giggling maniacally. Punishing. My favorite part was the director commentary that I listened to about 15 minutes of. For some reason Herzog is being interviewed by Crispin Glover. I love hearing Herzog pontificate (wow there's a sentence). He makes the ridiculous statement that it's not an exploitation film but that it's a film exploring the frightening nightmare of being a "midget" (his word). Well, sure it seems like a nightmare when you have them pretend to be insane and cavort around cackling and setting things on fire. To add insult to injury, one little person was hit by a car and another was set on fire during the filming. Herzog compensated for this by jumping into a cactus patch at the end of the filming. Another unpleasant thing is watching a chicken eat another chicken. Herzog says he's also terrified of chickens because of their overwhelming stupidity.
