OK, I had to return to the living someday, unfortunately. Even worse, I have to return to work and have a TON of work to catch up to due to a month long SNAFU from before I took off for B-Fest. So I’ll be working Saturday all day too I fear.
On the other hand, B-Fest 2020, after some rough rides in recent years, went down very smoothly. There was some kind of major line-up shake-up just before the event, and from those who looked at the line-ups it was apparently a good thing, given that it reduced the number of “bad comedies,” which have been the bane of the Fest in recent years.
We kicked things off strongly with the crowd-pleasing Killer Klowns from Outer Space, a film with one of the greatest themes songs of all time, courtesy of The Dickies. It’s a one-joke affair, but man, they milk that joke like nobodies business. It also featured a nice turn by John Vernon, who I realized was basically the Kurtwood Smith of his day. If you had switched the actor out you would have gotten pretty much the exact same performance.
You know, Imgur used to have actual editing functions, but now you just just crop photos and change their side. I wonder what’s up with that.
