Coilhouse screening, soon. Booze will flow, as will our joyful and confused tears by the end of it all. Or so I suspect. I am seconding Mil And Mer. Coilhouse screening, soon.

Maybe if we beg and plead enough, we could get Hollywood Forever to do a screening? Or perhaps a double-billing with <a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCj8sPCWfUw rel="nofollow">The Room</a> somewhere?? Mil, let’s do it.

I really, really think Stephen Furst deserved an Oscar nomination for being able to emote so much merely by grunting menacingly while clad in filthy diaper rags. Princess Dragon Mom has a posse. And I'm in it. (Who hasn't dreamed of turning into a flying lizard when they get pissed off?!) I'm not surprised Mr Boogalow is what stuck with you, seeing as <a href=http://www.vladeksheybal.com/ rel="nofollow">Vladek Sheybal</a> remains a stalwart bad ass even when his beard is full of glitter and they're making him swing a teeeeny tiny noose in front of the camera during song-and-dance numbers at the Berlin International Airport. Dude got captured by Nazis and interned in a concentration camp...<i>twice.</i> Immediately escaped both time. HARD CORE. Paul knows the secret handshake.

****SPOILER ALERT!!****

There was a Dante’s Inferno-esque “Hell” sequence with a demonic character belting out a song that extolled the dubious virtues of the Apple in question, accompanied by various deformed, hybrid individuals cavorting about.
Legions of Hippies mysteriously appear in the final sequence, the last remaining representatives of the noble, enlightened side of the human race, who, along with the protagonists, ascend into….well, it was either a U.F.O. or a literal Stairway to Heaven…my powers of memory fail me here.

But yes, MR. BOOGALOW is the memory that has, for whatever reason, indelibly burned itself into my brain.
As with certain film characters like Princess Dragon Mom from “Infra Man” or Stephen Furst’s potrayal of the rampaging basement ‘tard from “The Unseen”, I will carry the memory of Boogalow to my grave.
