Great Siskel's Ghost!

I don't know how this one got by me, but Eddie Cornejo, Jed Morris and Benny Winslow made a movie last year when they were all on the Ports. I guess it didn't suck too bad because it got played at some big-time independent movie festival.

The movie's called Dream Revolver and it's website provides kind of a crappy trailer and this synopsis:

"An unidentified minor league baseball player struggles through his long season. His perspective of the game he once loved so much as a child becomes skewed due to internal demons & external pressures. In a series of twisted, wacky & unexplainable dreams he finds his inspiration and motivation disguised as foolish characters. Ultimately leading to a silly confrontation that enables him to see the game of baseball in its purest form, the way it should always be...a game."

Instead of a movie, I wish they would have made a documentary. One where they kidnap Macha, tar and pube him (a spin on tar and feathering), stuff him in a potato sack, pee on him (not that I'm into full-frontal, male nudity), and drop him in a gigantic, scolding vat of sugary sweetness at the Juicy Fruit factory.

They could've called it Death of a Douchebag.

Maybe next time.
