Fly (1970)
John and Yoko make another movie - Oh no!
Have you ever wanted to watch a fly crawl around for a half hour? Apparently John and Yoko did, and unfortunately they filmed it. Their mostly static camera follows a fly as it crawls around a naked woman's body. The fly, shot in extreme close-up, scurries around her toes, eyelids, nipples, and yes, even ventures into her netherworld. While there is something interesting about the juxtaposition between the erotic body and the disgusting insect, the film is mostly an exercise in boredom. It doesn't help that high-pitched moaning and Yoko yelps constitute the soundtrack. This is what happens when two people get so much praise they feel that any idea that pops in their head deserves to be brought to the public eye. This film is exceedingly painful to watch, even though it clocks in at 25 minutes.
Human Highway (1982)
Near worthless film, but still a unique effort
This movie is nearly worthless. By all means, this is only for big fans of Neil Young and/or Devo. Not to say it is painful to watch - at times its combination of hokey special effects, screwball comedy and pointless plot is somewhat interesting. And the scene where Devo's mascot Booji Boy runs through a searing version of "Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)" with Young on guitar and the rest of Devo behind him is as surreal as it is amazing. The rest of the film is free of meaning and entertainment. This is clearly a movie the cast enjoyed making, but they didn't stop to think if anyone would enjoy watching it. The best you can say is that it is unique. After seeing it I learned the film was only made possible because Neil Young fronted the budget. That makes it all more clear. Worse than Paul McCartney's "Give My Regards to Broadstreet"? Perhaps.
