it be a real shame that nearly no one under 30 know the over the top writing of michael odonoghugh magazine article and snl skit that be genius for the time . and so it be a true shame that anyone who may take the opportunity to research his work will no doubt take the easy way out and watch video thus lead them to mr mike mondo video . this movie have clever element that never fully connect to the funny bone . the viewer experience such thing a cat diving or swimming with the man who think he find feline happiness by hurl these kitten into a pool which the camera follow in slow motion and montage sequence . then we be take to an island to where all past fad be retire ( hula hop and pet rock and rainbow dread wig etc . ) then we enter the music world ( punk be a new variety of music at the time of this film ) where d rate bar performer rootboy slim performs boogie till you puke in his own lazy style of dirt and eclectic sleaze . now the real beauty of all this be the back ground music . in many different style with many different instrument the sound of telstar play and replay for those who do not understand telstar be the first american satellite launch into space and the theme be create to celebrate man genius and triumph . mr mike seem to have be mean a a signal of societal decay ridiculous waste . now one thing the theater offer that the video release do not be a live performance of sid vicious ( ex sex pistol not the wrestler ) sing my way . his version be very different than sinatra a one might imagine but frankly i feel it be very much worth the listen . it good . that be the sad part in the vhs release paul anka refuse the right of his song and the viewer be force to experience 3 half minute of silence with an explanation roll across the image of the sing dead sex pistol . i would give the theater release a 5 or 6 the video be closer to a 4 and now that so much be passé i can see where many people would give it a 3 or 2 . 5. if you want to see a good odonoghugh script watch scrooged . it be a good tribute to the man insight and talent .
