Dante Hicks's Sentimental Swear Words, GalaxyCon Des Moines (Day 3), and 'Dario Argento's Dark Glasses'
CatBusRuss was too worn out to catch the "Josie and the Pussycats" reunion panel with Rachel Leigh Cook & Tara Reid, but he still had a handful of "I Dig Crazy Flicks" buttons to give out, so he made it to day three of GalaxyCon Des Moines. Just in time to catch the Q&A with Brian O'Halloran the star of "Clerks".
“I Dig Crazy Flicks” was founded as “Ninety For Chill”. It is Russ Stevens’s blog dedicated to movies with runtimes between 70 to 100 minutes. This runtime was the standard for horror movies and goofball comedies. Without the time for drawn out narratives, throwing everything at the wall and seeing what would stick was the rule. Thus, craziness ensues, and cinephiles like CatBusRuss want to preach the greatness of embracing the insanity.
