I was right there with you, Dr Morbius. needed to justify an unplanned outing to chinatown to satisfy a sudden, deep dumpling urge, so tacked on a movie. a very good whim--had no expectations, but the best time i've had at the movies in a while.

George got a slide on the Oscar show, almost wouldn't have expected that.

Tonight I am going to see Corruption of the Damned / Eclipse of the Sun Virgin / Knocturne (all George btwn 1965-68). Anyone seen those? This should be p great, right?

This: "George btwn 1965-68" tells me yes.
BTW, ran into a Mike Kuchar art exhibit (he was even there signing posters) last week that also had a couple of his films being projected. Did he do anything worth seeing besides The Craven Sluck?

yes, Stevie!
lots, nickn

Can you name a few I should check out? The few I've seen of his besides CS just seemed like pale, wit-free imitations of George's stuff.

holy smokes, those were great!! I wasn't expecting them to be as well-shot/cinematic as they were. Why aren't these available on DVD?

Rewatched (I think i'd seen it before, anyway) George's The Devil's Cleavage last night at Lincoln Center, in glorious 16mm. Lurid, pansexual, delirious pulp parody, with a trollop heaving the contents of a bedpan at her hag-masked mother very early on.

i watched jennifer kroot's "it came from kuchar" (2009) on kanopy. a loving and truly awesome portrait of the kuchar twins.
i would love to be able to acquire a copy of the "george kuchar reader" linked above.
bittersweet to see morbs' enthusiasm itt

Every time I see something listed as being directed by George Cukor, I wish it was by George Kuchar instead. (Not quite applicable to the 'I Always Get Them Mixed Up' thread, more the non-existent 'It Is Funny To Me To Mix Them Up' thread.)
