Lou Reed's Street Hassle

So I saw it years ago at the Walter Reade theater in Lincoln Center as part of what must have been a Malcolm McDowell retrospective. Malcolm was there (as was Jay Cocks) and did a Q&A. Hey look:

Was there some sort of rule, unwritten or not, that a certain subset of movies made each year, especially those destined to be Midnight Movies, had to cast Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov?

Hold on, Lou Reed AND Mary Woronov were in it?

Yup. No Gerard Malanga though, if that's what you're after.

Was hoping for Ondine or Taylor Mead at the very least.

Forgot to add caption to this:

but yeah, i'm sure if you asked lou for his top 5 favorite recordings, 4 of them would be one-mic doo wop songs. state of the art.

Maybe I should start new thread or put on Rock rock rock rock Rock and roll high school

If only one of you watches it this year my posting here will not have been in vain.

It's got everything: hippies, punks, teen idols, Allen Garfield, Ed Begley, Jr., Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov. A lost Lou Reed song with Robert Quine on it, or so it seems!

Unless it's Lou soloing, either way.

uh hey James

Allan Arkush here- the Director of Get Crazy. I am happy to let you know that there will be a GET CRAZY BLU_RAY in early 2021. I am in the process of compiling the extras, since you are such a big fan, any thoughts? –aark✧✧✧@m✧✧.c✧✧

Ah, cool, thanks!

Just the Lou Reed scenes (albeit in shittier quality)

Also his scenes from Blue in the Face (which I can't recommend, but it has its moments, particularly Jim Jarmusch's bit on smoking)

Just looked at the personnel for Reggie’s band. Pretty interesting.

Love how the absolutely dead mic on Lou’s vocals gives the feeling of him in some shitty dimly lit studio at 3am trying to get it together. Such a nighttime album.
