Nah, I was too busy eating grilled meat and blacking out. The next time it screens in NY I'll bring a seat cushion.

This was pretty good but def has some sequences/inclusions that felt arbitrary (the clip from the Eddie Cantor film), plus some boilerplate Old Lefty ranting. Maybe the best Jack Smith "performance" on film?
