by Matthew on Mar 12, 2009 2:52 PM PDT in Looking Ahead

The subject says the important bits, now here's some details

Myself, Adam Morris (Lone Star Ball), Graham Goldbeck [not our Graham] (Oaktown A's), Jim Gardner (The Halo is Lit) and Eric Seidman (THT, FG, BP) will be chatting live at noon pactime on the AL West.

Come watch as I manage to acquire even more Angel fans as personal trolls and shock everyone not used to LL style jokes.

I plan on asking several hundred questions about beer all addressed to everyone but you.

I am going to prepare several gifs and ask all my questions in gif form.

I intend on posing all of my questions as gratuitous photoshops.

It's awesome that it's not a representative from Halos Heaven

He does post at HH, but yeah.

What’s funny about HH is that there are four or five really excellent posters over there and only one of them ever posts front page content.

I have a lot of respect for those people.

Their like the Jewish comedians stuck on the boxcars to Poland circa 1944.

GOD I LOVE THAT MOVIE

YOU'VE SEEN IT

HOW

Aaron Campeau - March 12, 2009 reply

see below

pdb - March 12, 2009 reply

and no, I've never seen the whole thing

but I had a friend in LA that had clips from it.

pdb - March 12, 2009 reply

WHAT IS HIS NAME AND ADDRESS

Aaron Campeau - March 12, 2009 reply

He no longer possesses said clips

I was at his house about 10 years ago and he said “you gotta see this, man, it’s pretty freaking awesome” and he showed me about 5 min worth of footage, I’m not sure if it was outtakes or actual scenes. Apparently he got them from someone who worked for Jerry Lewis’ lawyer (or law firm, can’t remember which). About two months after he showed them to me he apparently showed them to several other people, one of which was an entertainment industry person who squealed. A cease-and-desist followed and he was then ordered to surrender the tape or face prosecution.

After Jerry Lewis dies I hope that movie gets released.

It sounds so amazing.

Aaron Campeau - March 12, 2009 reply

I remember very little about the clips I saw

because I was kinda drunk, but I do remember repeatedly going “OH MY GOD THIS IS FANTASTIC” every time he opened his mouth. I really hope it sees the light of day one of these days.

With most of these kinds of things, you find that the anticipation, or the concept, is better than the thing itself. But seeing this film was really awe-inspiring, in that you are rarely in the presence of a perfect object. This was a perfect object. This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is. “Oh My God!” — that’s all you can say.

I know.

Another example of why the Animaniacs are so awesome.

In a rather obscure joke, the film (and Lewis) are the subject of a sketch from Animaniacs entitled “Heart of Twilight” that also spoofs Apocalypse Now. It features Lewis (as Mr. Director) as a Colonel Kurtz-type character making a movie called The Wretched Clown against the wishes of the studio in an isolated sound stage.
