Great Moments in Puppetry: Audrey 2

In this age of computers and cgis and such, we can sometimes forget the days when you'd have to get half a dozen dudes to operate a complicated puppet to interact with the actors, rather than them talking to a tennisball on a stick symbolisin' where their co-star will be shoved in later.

So in honour of those who brought awesome puppets to be big and little screen, I am announcing a new weekly thing: Great Moments in Puppetry!

This week, the Levi Stubbs-voiced killer plant Audrey 2 gets a mention.

I have to admit I have a massive softspot for this movie, a black comedy about a weedy shopboy played by the immortal Rick Moranis feeding folk to a giant talking plant for fame and glory, not least because of its botanical co-star.

Seriously, this is a movie with some star power behind it if you're familiar with 80s comedians. Steve Martin! John Candy! James Belushi! Christopher Guest! And Bill friggin' Murrey! And directed by Frank Oz, the voice of Yoda and Miss Piggy.

Seriously, s'awesome, though a little cheesy. Go see it, go!

Psychopathic Stage Production 'Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark' inspires Law & Order episode

Yup, the show that hungers for the flesh of those who perform in it has gone on to inspire an episode of the long running crime show, much like that case where Michael Jackson dangled his kid over a balcony, or that girl who was made to strip in a MacDonalds because a man on the phone told her too.

From Comics Alliance,
"In what is thought to be the final season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Detectives Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) will investigate the suspicious death of someone associated with a Broadway musical called "Icarus" that is obviously based on the Spider-Man production. TV Line reports that ejected Turn Off the Dark director Julie Taymor's fictional counterpart is depicted as flamboyant, "high-strung" and a "born-again drunk," and that Bono -- who with his U2 bandmate The Edge composed the music for the Spidey show -- will be reflected as "Arno," who's described as "a secretly bisexual rock-star composer who's cheating on the missus with a colleague."
