I watched an old Peter Sellars movie last nite. I was crying and couldn't breath thru half the movie. My stomach hurts today. I also love South Park and Malcom in the Middle. What's Wrong With Me ?


P.S. I forgot about World Police! I love that movie?

You are wrong with you, is what is wrong with you!

I have too much PS stuff ... and the best of his stuff ... is with The Goons (over 120 shows) ... in the many characters he plays in there ... but folks here do not like to know that the Goons were a major influence on the Beatles and their brand of surrealism ... because it prevents the Beatles from being God!  Let's see ... about 10 Peter soundtracks ... about 4 Peter albums ...

The voices, and the speed with which Peter changes his voices, in The Goons, is down right insane and hilarious ... and some of the funniest bits are when they drop a line and jive with each other and they are unbelievably well tuned and worked well together despite the many rows with Spike Milligan.

It's one of the reasons why sometimes Bapu and the CH just are not funny for me ... I find the Yin Tong Edle I Po song or Walking Backwards for Christmas, much funnier than the CHB stuff ... and of course, Mr. Ed doesn't like competition and I get the jilted lover shoulder treatment on my comments! But I miss such wonderful bits like climbing Mt. Everrest from the inside, the missing boa constrictor, the aero-african canal, the china story, tales of men's shirts from down under ... and such ...

Of all the acting jobs, the best one is "Being There" ... and make sure you catch the ending nder the credits ... it will show you what the Goons put up with that most people ... shudder and get chills from! Pure acting at its best!

I preferred Michael Bentine's Potty Time, but he was more of an influence on Led Zep.

Let's not forget Harry Secombe's influence on Cliff either.

No at all, Pedro.  It seems like a fairly obvious joke.  I'm not surprised that I'm not the first to use that line.  I'm thinking that's some memory you have. 
 
Incidently, I have one of Peter Sellers' CD.  I think it was produced by George Martin.  I can barely listen to it.  It's not really comedy and it's not serious music.  He half-sings and half-speaks the lyrics of some fairly well-known songs of the day(mid/late sixties, I think).  I'm guessing it's where William Shatner got the idea for some of his releases.

Write down some of the pieces in it ... if I have it I can mp3 it for you.
 
Shattner's stuff is not as original as what Peter did with most of his stuff, which was true satire amidst sound effects. Shattner's stuff fits well today, as Peter's might have yesterday ... but the appreciation of the work comes and goes ... few can "relate" to Peter today ... because his humor and time and place, is not as visible, and people do not "relate" to history in the arts very well. Basically, Peter fits in teh same category as a Chaplin, or a Keaton, but we are not willing, or capable of seeing that and accrediting him where he deserves it ... and his estate is even worse and only wants his money!
 
Shattner is more varied ... and his doing the Boston Legal thing was really good and perfect and a total out there from Star Trek and other things he did ... so in that sense Shattner is a more "serious" actor ... but not exactly a comedian ... I think he became one, so he didn't have to take himself so seriously! And it worked out neat, although his albums will likely never be remembered.

... (avatar) ...

 
I was thinking that your Avatar is missing the sunglasses ... and then ... 6 different versions for each of Peter's characters in the film! ... you might have a problem with Manfred's outfit ... but some of the other voices were not ... visible!
 
We need to reprise that Coca Cola thing ... and this time we need to put a big sign over it that says ... "SUGAR" ... hehehe!

I'll find the details of it later when I get home.  Thanks for the offer, Pedro.  MP3's won't be necessary for this CD.  My copy plays fine.  I meant it is difficult for me to listen to.  I like Peter Sellers a lot.  Maybe I was just expecting too much from this CD.
