After all, "masterpiece" and "Brain Damage" are synonyms. Frank Henenlotter is a deity in my universe. As far I'm concerned, the only movie he's done better is Frankenhooker. But, really, how can ANYTHING compete with Frankenhooker?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-38703123092340522682009-09-03T00:06:02.220-04:002009-09-03T00:06:02.220-04:00Keith: No problem, man. :)

Enjoy. :)<br /><br />The Vicar of VHS: Brain Damage is considered to be Henenlotter's most accomplished work to date. Hell, even the director himself lists it as his favourite. So, yeah, I think you should correct this oversight as soon as possible. The blue goo not-yet in your brain commands it.<br /><br />Karim Amir: Cool. I thought I might have gone overboard with all the brain eating talk. <br /><br />Your slug trepidation is totally understandable, as the people having their brains consumed in the movie don't seem like 'em, either. <br /><br />Oh, and that extra dude you threw in there at the end really hit the spot. 'Cause you know what they say? Four dudes are better than three.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-59158323154723584272009-09-01T21:21:06.661-04:002009-09-01T21:21:06.661-04:00Dude...dude...dude...

The big question being: How do you get the blue goo in there?"<br /><br />Yum-Yum, you're a true philosopher and student of the Big Questions of the Universe. I am gobsmacked at the truth and wisdom of the above. I'd never known that's what I was looking for until now, but dammit, you're right--it's blue goo for my brain.<br /><br />Somehow I've missed this Henenlotter flick, though I count myself a big fan of his other work. This oversight cannot be allowed to stand.
