PATIENCE DID NOT PAY OFF THIS TIME (sad smiley face goes here!) -- So much for trying to get into a free screening of KENNY. I should have known that an LA Weekly promotion would attract so many people who thought to get to the Sunset 5 Laemmle theatre about 1-1/2 hours ahead of time. The word on KENNY is that it's a smash Australian film. The first rave quote is from Michael Moore.
Just knowing that Kenny is a porta-potty rep/delivery man conjures up all sorts of wacky possibilities. Well, not getting in put me in a cr*ppy mood! (Ugh...the punster rears its ugly head! I better stop this bathroom humor quick or else this blog is going down the toilet! Ugh again!)

Movie distributors are torturing me. Who has the money, not to mention the time, to see all the summer movies? Luckily, I was invited to a pre-release screening of KABLUEY. Hmmm...what the heck is that, you may ask? A cutesy way of describing something blowing up? Well, in the vernacular of the 'kids' today: (slang: to get big or popular really quickly)--KABLUEY should definitely 'blow up'!

The cast was excellent—each and every one. I didn’t know much about the film beforehand so I was happily surprised to see some of my favorite actors Lisa Kudrow, Christine Taylor, Conchata Ferrell, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Parnell, and most welcome Teri Garr! But ultimate kudos to writer, director and star: Scott Prendergast. Not only was his script hilarious and poignant, his direction was assured and did not get in the way of the telling of this all-too true story of America today. I don't want to give anything away about the plot or what/who Kabluey is -- but I love Kabluey! I want a Kabluey plushie to hug when I'm blue. KABLUEY opens in LA July 11th and will be released to more cities throughout the summer. You deserve a laugh -- go see KABLUEY when it arrives in your town!
