Los Angeles Plays Itself is about to come out on DVD. It's a pretty interesting dissection of L.A.'s depictions of itself and visiting European directors' fascination with it, but holy shit you are going to need a snack or bathroom break during it because it's nearly 3 hours long. And the guy he got to narrate it is no Slazov Zizek.
I think I sang its praises in the other movie thread but when
Jodorowsky's Dune is available, make that appontment viewing. The greatest and most heartbreaking celebration of Jodorowsky's surrealist visionary brain (and it sorta pains me to say it, but I think I enjoyed it more than
The Dance of Reality) plus an accidental eulogy to H.R. Giger. And according to one of the doc's producers, apparently they're trying to wrestle the Dune copyright away from the Herbert family long enough to make an animated miniseries out of Moebius' storyboards (Moebius and Jodorowsky plotted and "shot" the entire 14-20 hour movie) .
Led Zeppelin Played Here is the feature debut of Jeff Krulik, the public access warrior behind
Heavy Metal Parking Lot. It weaves through a shaggy dog story in his hometown of Wheaton, Maryland that claims Led Zeppelin played a high school auditorium the night after their first official show in the US. As always, Krulik is the king of finding rock n' roll-obsessed weirdos.
