KID-THING (clip) prank call from NoBudge on Vimeo.
Oh, Kid-Thing. What a creepy little picture from the Zellner boys. Here's what I wrote on a napkin:
- Bachrach wordless singing
- '70s movie blonde
- Jackie Earle Haley
What I remember: Really liking the tomboy stylings of protag Annie, especially her problem-solving mixed with secrecy mixed with random cruelty; feeling sad when Susan Tyrrell, who played Esther and was so magnificent in Fat City died this summer.
“The last thing my mother said to me,” Ms. Tyrrell said in a 2000 interview with LA Weekly, “was, ‘SuSu, your life is a celebration of everything that is cheap and tawdry.’ I’ve always liked that, and I’ve always tried to live up to it.”
