So I married an axe murderer
In university, one of the films my friends and I enjoyed the most, was So I Married an Axe Murderer. In it, Mike Myers performs poetry, with some kind of band thing going on.
Today, I came across a link to a segment on Conan O'Brien's show, where William Shatner reads from Sarah Palin's book in the same manner. Then Sarah Palin comes out and surprises him, reading from his autobiography. Both read with the musical accompaniment.
Brilliant.
You'll love the beatniks in the Grim Fandango, if you haven't come across them yet.
ReplyDeleteI think that was the game Esteban was always raving about.
ReplyDeleteWell worth raving about. It was a featured article on en.wikipedia a while back: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_fandango
ReplyDeleteArguably the pinnacle of a genre.
