underground movies and the vaginal eye




Thank you, Bob Moricz. After a long day helping a friend move, I had high expectations for the Underground Movie Night planned that evening as an opportunity to unwind. Bob and his assembled movie shorts didn't dissapoint.

Arriving an hour early helped; choice of seats, dinner before the show, and a "keep 'em coming" policy on the Guiness pints.

Bob's fuck me/ fuck you self-deprecating style made a show of inevitable technical difficulties. He's such a showman, making even the occasional ear piercing noises that emerged from the equipment seem funny (Ha! Ha! My ears are bleeding!)

Highlights:
It was a real treat to see Bob acting in a film directed by someone other than himself, playing a diabollically hilarious interviewer-from-hell in Jermey Cooke and David Krause's The Interview.

Torreya Cumming's film Eye Contact uses clever camera/mirror play to pull off one remarkably erotic short film. A morphing eye becomes cunt.
