Review "Blue Velvet" meets "The Ugly Coal Miner's Ugly Daughter" is this oddball concoction by director's director Alterman ("The Birdman of the Astrodome", "Hudson Goshawk Park"). The ensemble cast includes Lilly Taylor ("Kill All The Men, All The Time"), Karol Kane ("My Tiny Sister's Tiny Hands"), Waldo Carradine ("Death Race 2012: L.A. or Bust") and Sissy Lu Spacey ("Carrie", "Walking Tall: The Minnie Pearl Story") as a Hootenany band invited to open at Woodstalk for Jimi Hendrix by drug-addled impresario Ned Beatty ("Crawling and Squealing") under the impression that they are helium-voiced blues yodelers "Canned Heat." What appears to be real concert footage alternates with handheld camera sequences during which each member in turn flashes back to the Esalen weekend where the group met for the first time around the rotting remains of an enormous sea elephant. Alterman seems to be saying that some actors can sing, and are sometimes depressed and that the very act of "acting" can be both boring and cathartic. My own experience as a thespian (an admittedly small part as the pimp "Diggety-Dog" on a early episode of "Baretta") confirms the insight (I spent three months curled inside of an empty hot tub abandoned in a vacant lot next to Jack Nicholson's place). Not for everyone, or maybe anyone, but this someone says "check it out." |

YOu mentioned the great contrast between actors and singers that Robert Alterman! didn't get. Actors bask in their pain in LA bathtubs in abandoned lots, while singers bask in the Glory of the Lizard Sun on LA roofing tar.
of coarse nothing in this film means anything since LSD came to Nashville, and starting stringing out steroid cowboys with long hair, on a tractor pull mud wrestling stage.
wish I could find, Walking Tall, The Minnie Pearl Story. But finding anyone who has the balls to re-release a film about a Hat that was not made in China in these days of global economic civil rights is about as likely as getting "Common Sense" removed from the banned book list.
"Greg", I wasn't aware Minnie Pearl had a hand in writing "Common Sense." But she was a very wise woman. Who knows how she might have exploited the "internets" had she been allowed to grace our planet long enough to see the tubes blossom?
