vovat | Patch Adams doesn't NEED a director's cut! It's long enough as it is! (Reply)

First of all, I heard Tom Lehrer on the radio last night. On NPR (no surprises there, really), they played "The Wild West Is Where I Wanna Be." That was pretty cool. The only other times I can recall hearing Lehrer's music on the radio were on a kids' program (on another public radio station, natch), where they would occasionally play "The Elements," "Pollution," and "New Math." For what it's worth, I believe that same program is where I first heard "Birdhouse In Your Soul."

Speaking of unexpected things, they were showing an unedited version of The Big Lebowski on Comedy Central last night. Apparently they'll sometimes do stuff like this late at night, but I'm not exactly a regular Comedy Central viewer (I don't even HAVE cable at home), and I know their reputation is to censor the crap out of everything. I mean, I remember hearing that they censored parts of UHF.

Speaking of censorship, I also watched Cecil B. Demented. This was another movie from Netflix, delivered at the same time as Last House on the Left. Why I bring this up is that there was actually a reference to Last House (or, more accurately, the promos for it) in Cecil. Quite an uncanny coincidence, if you ask me. Anyway, I did enjoy Cecil quite a bit. There were a lot of funny swipes at the movie industry, including several references to Patch Adams.

bethje had already watched the movie with commentary by John Waters, and she played some of her favorite parts for me. Waters mentioned something about how Patch Adams really disturbed him, like an old lady seeing Pink Flamingos for the first time. (For what it's worth, I haven't seen Pink Flamingos, but I have, unfortunately, seen Patch Adams.) Then he started talking about how people should start dressing up as characters from Patch Adams, and getting Patch Adams tattoos. I don't remember everything he said, but it was amusing. I also heard him talk about the Satanist character, mentioning that so many self-styled Satanists are actually little girls who listen to heavy metal music, and that he always poses for pictures with them at signings.
