Head

If you're my age, you're familiar with The Monkees from the incessant re-runs that plagued Nickelodeon in the 1980s. What was I supposed to do? Play outside?

Anyway, TCM played their film oddity, Head, in the middle of the night. Curiosity won and I TiVo'd it. A few fun facts: Terri Garr is in it, but her name's spelled Terry. Also, Zappa's in it for like 15 seconds. Very odd. The film was co-written by Jack Nicholson with director Bob Rafelson. The two made Five Easy Pieces together a couple years later. Toni Basil (Hey Mickey!) choreographed the thing, and there's a section of the credits where the names and roles are spelled backwards.

How was the movie? Well, I watched it primarily in fast-foward and I'm pretty sure I didn't miss much.
