POLIZIST ADJECTIVE



The very exhausted Vagimule doll is back from her whirlic New York City misadventure.  I had a divine time but it was a lot of work and I was jetlagged throughout as I never was able to acclimate to the time zone as this trip to Man!hattan was very short.  Before telling you what happened let me do some catchup by reprinting my introduction text from Rising Stars, Falling Stars from Wednesday January 22nd as I received several requests to read it.  Here it is in its intirety followed by the regular list of VIP’s in attendance.
I’m going to reveal a sacred secret that very few people are aware of if at all,but the legendary Austrian Hollywood filmmaker Otto Preminger was a secret admirer of the Arsenal.  Yes its true and as such he would sneak into the vaults at the old location in Schoeneberg and hide 16 mm prints of his films and other cinema treasures.  Why 16mm you ask?  Well it was too heavy to carry cans of 35mm prints.  That is one of the reasons why The Arsenal has a copy of Preminger’s 1959 musical Porgy & Bess and his spirit of 68 youth in revolt/caper/comedy with the strange name of Skidoo.  This film features strange performances from Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing,Mickey Rooney, Frankie Avalon trying to do outdo his fellow Beach Party co-star Annette Funicello who starred the same year in the Bob Rafelson film Head with the pop group The Monkey’s. Skidoo also stars Groucho Marx as God and the first black supermodel/Warhol superstar Donyale Luna who was also the lead in  Carmelo Bene’s Salome and featured in Fellini’s Satyricon as the Witch.  Here in Skidoo Luna is none other then God’s Girlfriend.  Well did you think that God would be single?

Omnipotent power is its own aphrodisiac.I was going to give every member of the audience some LSD and crystal meth to enhance your viewing of this film, but instead we have some colored gels taped to the back of your seat that we encourage you to watch the film through.  Herr Preminger knew that the 16mm color on this Cinemascope print would fade so he provided a solution by providing these formidable cystic gels. This is going to be an interactive experience so get to know your neighbour exchange gels, fornicate and  talk back to the screen.  This print is deteriating so this may be the last chance you get to see this film EVER so make the most of it.  Let yourself go.

After the screening please stay for our mind altering Babbit/Bromide wine reception.   Danke sehr.
