Slapstick (Of Another Kind)

It almost makes the film version of BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS look good.

Almost.

Oh, don't get me started. A complete failure. Especially horrible because Breakfast of Champions is probably my favorite Vonnegut novel. He just does not work well on film.

All's not lost, I thought the adaptation of Mother Night was very well done.

I know people like that Slaughterhouse-Five movie, but I'm in the very small minority that thinks that was one of Vonnegut's weaker books.

So it goes?

All's not lost, I thought the adaptation of Mother Night was very well done.

Agreed, that's a terrific film. There was a very short lived (seven episodes) anthology series back in the early 90's called Kurt Vonnegut's Monkey House that featured some fairly good adaptations of some of his early short stories. Madeline Kahn was just about perfect as the home decorating obsessed Grace in More Stately Mansions.

Here's the series intro:

All seven episodes are on VHS (I have them...somewhere) but not on DVD.

Back to the movies:

NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1980) remains one of my favorite crazy bad movies. Big Foot rips the arm off a fisherman, flings a guy in a sleeping bag onto a protruding tree limb, forces two girl scouts to stab each other, rips off a biker dude's tellywacker, impregnates a retarded hillbilly , and does his infamous 'Entrails Dance', seen here:

Yes, the soothing jazz flute music is from the film's soundtrack.

Hi ho.
