LOCK DOWN THEATER NIGHT 27

I was trolling for a full length film to share and it occurred to me that some of you may not have seen Head, the feature length Monkees film that was a last ditch effort to outgrow their manufactured past. It failed. Too weird for the teeny boppers and too late to convince the counterculture types. But it is something to see. A stoner classic. If you do partake, do so. If you don't, you'll feel like you have.

The last time I posted it, this is part of what I had to say: A weird movie. A movie that sprang from a stoned weekend with the producer of their TV series, Bob Rafelson, and a young screenwriter, Jack Nicholson. That Jack Nicholson. The movie, Head, bombed, as many interesting but out of the ordinary movies do. That doesn't mean that it isn't worth watching. No, it's good, really good if you're of the sort that digs pop culture gone haywire. It's fucking nuts. It's like one of those hair brained ideas that you have when you're stoned, but think better of when you're not. Thankfully they didn't second guess their stoned selves. As if to make a point, the cast includes the A and Z of opposites, Annette Funicello and Frank Zappa. In the same flick. Man, they had to have been stoned to dream up that juxtaposition.
