I seem to favor his earlier output, like THE AWFUL DR. ORLOFF and TWO UNDERCOVER ANGELS).<BR/>But, anyways, Franco has a thing for "sinister performance art" in some of his films (DIABOLICAL DR. Z, SUCCUBUS, etc.) and the fact that the band performs in the same space with this poor girl, even watching her, seems to share that same dynamic.<BR/><BR/>Oh, kind of reminds me of THE WIZARD OF GORE, too. The whole horrors as public performance concept.<BR/><BR/>But this music video is way more effective than Franco's handling of his ideas. Franco's films remind me of the Santo movies: the ideas in the script never attain the same coolness on paper when executed on film. Incredibly frustrating.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to check this out with music on!<BR/>Unless, I have to actually move my fat ass and get my headphones, then "can't wait" is misleading...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993991.post-1167320318537978302006-12-28T10:38:00.000-05:002006-12-28T10:38:00.000-05:00Nice linda-blair like action with the girl..Nice linda-blair like action with the girl..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
