About a dozen years ago (more or less), I worked at a job with a die-hard art-film geek. Several times, I watched really strange movies he’d collected on video at his house. One of the most truly odd things I recall him showing me was a “biopic” about the Carpenters. But instead of live actors, the whole thing was performed with barbie dolls. (Yes, barbie dolls!) they were generally posed for specific scenes and had actor voice overs and an offscreen hand bobbing them around. The video was also pretty jerky and might have been a street bootleg. It has always stuck in my mind, but I can’t seem to find any trace of it, not in video stores, not on IMDB, and people who I mention it to (every film buff I meet)think I must be or are putting them on. I have not seen my co-worker Dale, the art film geek, since at least 1991 and have no way to get ahold of him. Did I really just imagine seeing this movie, or does anyone know anything about it?
I have not seen it, but my best fiend did. I lifted this from his page (credit where credit is due, http://www.reelprogress.com )
I really, really want to see this film! But my friend apparently has returned it to whomever lent it to him.
That film is notorious, but I’ve never been able to snag a copy either.
Here is the IMDB page on the movie.
Yeah, I’ve been wanting to see it forever. But, thanks to Richard’s small heads (top and bottom)…
I also would like to see the outtakes from “Performance” where Mick Jagger and his costars take a scene from R to X and the director kept filming.
But all anybody has on this stupid internet is Pam and Tommy.
That’s not true. I also have the Barbra Streisand tape.
