Tripper



Just realized I never talked about "Tripper". Not sure about the whole Reagan killing hippies stuff, especially since we have new poster children for representing 'Evil Republican'. But there's a nostalgia about it I guess.

First let me say my fave scene is the nudist scene and I don't want to spoil that. I also like when Jamie King runs into a drum circle freaking out and the people are too high and tranced out to listen to her, and then they dose her with acid by somehow macing her (sp? what I mean to say is they sprayed her like one would spray an attacker with pepper spray) with it.

The movie has also has an all star cast. Just to name a few: Paul Reubens, he acts like Peewee but he says fuck all the time. Awesome. The kid from Witness is in it. And he has a moustache. Jamie King. I'm not so much of the demographic to know what else she's been in though she's somewhat familiar. The hot dad from The Mist in a totally different role. This guy is versatile. The anti drug guy is the villain, awesome. No wait, the traumatized blue collar aggie kid is the villain. And was that Fishbone? That was totally Fishbone. Party at Ground Zero. "It's our God-given right to rock."

A good special feature involved a PA finding a human finger while she was sweeping the set. I don't even believe them but it was a good gag.

Over all, did it hang together too well? Not so much. Did it have lots of fun stuff? Absolutely.
