Your web site is excellent, by the way. <br /><br />Your mother's version of the movie reminds me of my childhood playground version of Porky's, which I wrote about here: http://faceplant.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.htmlJosh Krauterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951130010325374744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852632683063463097.post-68659202198008300962010-08-07T11:03:54.176-05:002010-08-07T11:03:54.176-05:00My mother saw this in the theater too and she told...My mother saw this in the theater too and she told me all of these things that she remembered from the film that weren't actually in it. I sort of like the version that exists in her head much more than I like the film itself (which I don't like very much at all). <br /><br />You have neglected to mention one of my favorite parts of LHotL: the soundtrack, which is - as far as I can tell - a series of terrible original folk renditions that narrate exactly what's going on in the scene. It's sort of like:<br /><br />[jangly banjo music] <br />crazy Jewish hipsters<br />old whore, junkie son and murdurah! <br />driving down the road<br />what happens next? <br />better watch out, country girl! <br />a ding dang doo! <br />[more jangly banjo music] <br /><br />Also, it is worth noting that this movie did for Semitic-looking people traveling in rural-ish Connecticut EXACTLY what Craven's Nightmare on Elm St. did for burn victims prowling dreams.Alex Steedhttp://digitalcommunitarian.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.com
