Pretty cool. The idea of a true no holds barred documentary about Ren & Stimpy sounds like something I've wanted to see since I first read about the horrific things the creator did during his life, but if they pull some punches with him, I don't know if I want to see that.
Drew, are you planning a report on how your Homemade Film Festival went over with your boys and girlfriend? Was my prediction correct? Did they absolutely love Rushmore? Were there surprises of films they didn't get into as much as you thought they would, and vice versa? I'd love to read all about it!
Okay, looking at your recap list I am REALLY interested in what you thought of "Michael Jackson's Ghosts". There's a fascinating story behind that one and how briefly it was available in this country, and how now the MJ Estate would apparently rather it not exist at all, and how it ties into MJ wanting to break into movies as an actor. It's like how I was looking forward to a discussion of "Moonwalker" on 80s All Over.
I enjoyed Project Power. As a stoned-at-2am flick, it was pretty perfect. The cast is great, and they seemed to have genuine fun with the material, which leans rote for sure but felt earnest, and I thought had a number of moments that managed to elevate it, I watched it as follow-up to the whip-ass season premiere of Lovecraft Country, and even in the shadow of that delicious hunk of awesomeness, I still had a good time with it.
If nothing else, one thing I kinda love about the idea behind PROJECT POWER is its kinship to DIAL H FOR HERO. Might be the closest thing we get to seeing that concept on film (until that title gets an inevitable DC/CW show I won't ever watch)...

I will be writing it all up in the next few days.
No spoilers!
Awesome!
