The Films of Kenneth Anger vol. 2
This disc covers Scorpio Rising through Lucifer Rising. These were good to watch with the commentary on. Anger provides lots of anecdotes about cast members and all the strange stuff that happened during the making of these short films. This is my first time viewing Anger's works but I was vaguely aware of his work due to his connection to British Invasion rockers I have been into since childhood (Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Marianne Faithful, etc.) and always had this impression of this diabolical maniac from some infernal distant planet. He is actually conversationally very down to earth...he hates cigarette smoking and rails against it repeatedly, he laments the passing of Al Capp's "Lil' Abner" comic strip, and complains about Marianne Faithful's irresponsibility carrying drugs into the Egyptian locations of Lucifer Rising. Its always interesting when people reveal traits that contradict their reputation.
Crazy Love (2007)
I can't say much about this except its really interesting...don't dig around and look at any spoilers and it will be kind of stunning.

I think that's a better approach to Crazy Love. Knowing what happened going in definitely weakens it.
Yeah, I had no idea, I wasn't familiar with the story, which is weird because I tend to keep up with that kind of strange true crime type stuff.
Thanks for the tip on Foul Play! We snatched up a copy last night.
