Mad Movies and other mad stuff.

apollaI saw what is hands-down the weirdest movie I've ever seen, and I've seen some freaky films.
Lisztomania was just insane. Weirder than Tommy which was made by the same bloke (Ken Russell). I say it's weirder than Tommy because although Tommy has the Church of Marilyn Monroe (parish priest: Eric Clapton) and Uncle Ernie and the madness that is the Acid Queen, Tommy does not involve a lengthy dance scene featuring Roger Daltrey with an eight foot erect penis. This is made weirder by the fact that he is a: surrounded by oddly dressed girls who look like they've stepped out of a Benny Hill sketch and also by the fact that he himself is wearing a crinoline at the time. Then he gets castrated with a guillotine.
Then there's Paul Nicholas as Wagner the mad vampire Nazi but I don't like PN so let's move on. The Weirdest Movie Ever title is won, however, by the inspired casting of Richard Starkey MBE as the Pope. You know him as Ringo Starr. Ringo the Pope! Love it, man!
Moving on... got my real life H/Hr shipper pal onto Y!M last night and she registered at FAP. Thanks to Dan, she'll also have an LJ very soon! *rummages around to find fangirl icon*
On the downside, I feel like shite and am missing a second day of work. Murder, She Wrote is on in a minute though, so it's not all bad news.
Also: Apologies to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angiej who had to deal with the rantings of a demented fanfic writer (me) and anneu53714 who had to deal with my post Lisztomania ramblings which were odd, to say the least.
