What's New, Pussycat?
These are all the stories — in no particular category — that are posted for awhile on our home page. It’s a pretty good record of all we’ve posted in one place.
Here’s “Truly Unusual,” A Film About Tom Jones (We Mean The Tom Jones Who’s Our Favorite Singer, Not The Fictional Character).
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Truly Unusual is, according to actor and filmmaker Forest Guider, “a partly improvised, Tom Jones fan club mocumentary.”
It’s the story of a group of fans who make an annual hegira to Las Vegas to see their man. Will they get to meet him? Will they get backstage? Therein lies the suspense.
You can see the trailer and several clips.
Even looking at these, those of you who belonged to fan clubs and who went to shows with your clubs and who even got the chance to go backstage, may find some familiarity here.
At any rate, check out the movie. It is funny with a humor that, even now that actual fan clubs are a thing of the past, rings very true.
We’d like to know the status of this film, as its website seems to have been last updated in 2007 and it’d be fun to get some current news. We’ll be looking for it in our local multiplex….or art house.

openers. LONG LIVE COMEDY!

Funny, funny, funny!! (And also, kind of scary!) Love the bake sale; love the “chili makes it grow;” love the shopping for the trip. Some of it was also hauntingly familiar! Guess I loved it all. If there ever is a premiere for this film, I hope we all would be invited!
