I can't believe it. I've been looking all over for this place. I don't know why, really. I spent a couple of days there when I was a kid, and, and I just remember having a really good time.

Me, too. My brother and I drowned a cat there once.

Is that right?

After a 3 week wait I finally got the DVD and was able to see the whole film. It's a masterwork. The DVD includes a detailed director's running commentary for the entire length of the movie. This is a must do for anyone fascinated by independent filmmaking. I watched the movie, watched it with the commentary, then watched the whole movie again back with normal sound. The director's honesty is engaging, just like the movie itself. It was honesty that led him to show Sam Rockwell frontal nudity instead of - typically - stripping the women. But this led to an "R" rating and may have been a box office turnoff. The budget was $3M, and I hope they made it back several times over. I was charmed by this movie and intend to see every Tom DiCillo film ever made.
