7:18am – “Freaked.” 1993 (continues on Day IV)

Rewound a little (the parts which MIGHT have been missed) and began the FREAKEDing again.

This movie is weird, but not really THAT weird (OK it likely is THAT weird); so maybe I mean not that bad. Plus, it features Keanu in a fabulous role – “Ortiz, the dog boy” Also Brooke Shields (pre Andre Agassi), Mr. T (bearded lady), Morgan Fairchild (on a plane), Bobcat Goldthwait (sock head guy), Randy Quaid (Ringmaster/evilguy), the older brother from “Blossom” (part of a 2 headed siamese twin thing) & a song with the chorus (more or less) “FREAKED!” (which should have been played more throughout the movie).

Keanu has met his untimely end, via 2 giant rastafarian eyeballs with machine guns. Still feel like he could come back for the sequel (Freakedier) as we didn’t see him “die” – just being chased after and shot at with machine guns from 3-4 feet away. Think the “Freaked” trilogy would make a nice compliment to the Matrix trilogy (plus we could have some really cool action figures from this one)

Watching this movie again, I am reminded there is an enviroment good (or it might be enviroment bad) message. Also I think the movie takes a stand on “freaks,” but I’m not sure what it is. Children (or at least one specific child) are appropriately called “trolls.” This is either a very political movie, a not very political movie, a somewhat political movie, or a completely nonpolitical movie – which is just how I like my movies.

“You’re no Julio Iglesias yourself, mister!”

Great ad for “Macheesemo” and the Cowboy was the voice of reason. This is about nine million times the movie of “Bam Stroker’s Dracula”

And Dogboy has returned! Man that dogboy can dodge bullets (or duck or whatnot) and all because he loves chasing those squirrels. But who doesn’t?
