I'm looking forward to Chris Cunningham's new short film 'Rubber Johnny'. Its about a 16-year-old, inbred mutant's solitary existence, locked in a pitch-black basement by his ashamed parents. They are TV addict rednecks who occasionally feed Johnny and yell at him for making noise. Johnny's only company in the basement is his little dog. His dog's I.Q. far outstrips Johnny's, who is a completely insane, bi-polar imbecile.

Also, his first feature film he's directing and co-writing, titled either 'Ranx' or 'Happy Birthday Lubna'. it is an adaptation of the comic book RanXerox by Tanino Liberatore and Stefano Tamburini.

[url=http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/the_aristocrats.html]The Aristocrats[/url] (trailer)

The trailer doesn't really describe the film, but the amount of comedians who make an appearance is incredible. Basically, the film is about a whole bunch of comedians telling the same dirty joke, but in their own way. George Carlin, Sarah Silverman, Bob Saget(!), and many more. This site [URL=http://www.lnreview.co.uk/media/journal/001842.php]here[/URL] has more info, including a clip from the South Park fellows. But if you want a quick quote, here you go;

Quote:
For the uninitiated, "The Aristocrats" is not quite a joke, more a format, like when jazzers would feel free to free-form between the beginning and end of "Stardust". You start by describing a family in a meeting with a showbiz agent, asking if they can perform their act. You then describe whatever mixture of incest, analingus, facials, muscular tubes and the family dog as enters the bad parts of your head. Once you've surprised yourself with some of the images (a contemporary variant might be to toss in some Abu Ghraib references), you have the family tell the impresario that their act is called "The Aristocrats" -- and you're home.

You can tell it to psych out a rookie stand-up just before he starts an important gig, you can tell it just for shits and giggles, or you can try it in front of an audience, to gain the respect of your fellow funnymen. And this is where the divide between responses to "The Aristocrats" comes. Weatherbeaten wags are inured to dirty talk and to things which have the structure of jokes even if they're not funny.

That's how it's pronounced but it's spelled Ralph. Don't ask me how that works. Must be a Brit thing.

Bob Saget is seriously a really dirty comic. While Full House and AFHV showed one Bob, his stand-up is an entirely different monster.

comedy site wrote:
“Saget is the dirtiest motherfucking cocksucker that ever walked the face of the earth!” said [Penn] Jillette [of Penn and Teller]. “Doing those little bullshit family shows, playing the retarded fucking squeaky dickless dad—that’s not Saget! That’s a joke. You go to a restaurant with Saget and before he orders food, he’ll be talking to the waitress about fucking his daughters in the ass.”
