‘Stop Messin’ About!’: Kenneth Williams plays Darth Vader

This genius redubbing of Darth Vader’s voice with that of camp British comic actor Kenneth Williams is “fantabulosa”!

Williams, for readers who have never heard of him, was best known for his roles in the “Carry On” films, the radio series Round the Horn and for being one of the first actors to play pretty obviously gay characters in UK popular culture. He was also known for his razor-sharp wit and was a popular talkshow guest of 70s/80s UK TV. You could, I suppose, consider him to be the British “Paul Lynde” in many respects.

I think there might be easier ways to do this… I don’t believe I’ve ever stumbled across someone “forming a triangle” before in a public bathroom. In any case, I hope you found this useful?

I gotta get me one of these. It might teach the menfolk not to piss on my floor. Photo taken by Flickr user masterklaas at the Rheinfels Castle in Germany.

Here’s a blog post ode to one of my most beloved films Harold and Maude. I guess I’m not the only one totally gaga over this movie—I put together a collection of artists’ creations in a shared celebration of their affection for Harold and Maude too.

The saddest thing you’re ever going to see: ‘Rent-A-Friend’

Yes this is a real thing and it is spectacularly sad amusing. Rent-A-Friend was released in 1986 for lonely peeps with VCRs who, well… needed a pal. Sam (your new rent-a-friend) has long converstions with you about life and shit. He’ll even hang up the phone just to listen to you!

If you’re super lonely or just need a shoulder to cry on, you can buy Sam for $16.00 here.

NY Dolls on Wisconsin cable TV

Motley Crue, Poison or the NY Dolls?
 
Two fifths of The New York Dolls played Kenosha Wisconsin on June 25 as the opening act, in a chronological and cosmic sense, for Motley Crue and Poison. Had there be no Dolls, would there have been a Crue or Poison? I think not.

Anyway, here’s a fun interview with David and Sylvain conducted by Kenosha cable TV star Dr. Destruction. Johansen, looking a bit like a cross between Carol Channing and Paul Williams, is more than ready for the Catskills or an ashram. I love how David slips in a reference to radical mystic Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran. That has to be a first on Kenosha cable.

This little gem caught my eye at the Everything Is Festival! over the weekend: It’s a trailer/excerpt from Joe Dante’s 4-hour long epic of found footage mayhem, The Movie Orgy (which they screened at Cinefamily yesterday). In it, you’ll see one of the best ads for cigarettes, ever. I’ll leave it at that, as not to spoil it.
