BUFF report 9.1: dante's surf
So, wild enthusiasm got me out to see Dante's Inferno, which could definitely be this year's weird-ass BUFF film, except that it's "mainstream indy" enough to have won something at Slamdance. And, well, I often have a fondness for things that even the kids in Winnepeg find a little bizarre.
It's current enough that in a few years it might be dated, but, I have no idea about the staying power of our era's big villains. I was tempted to ask if they're selling any of the puppets, including the one who didn't have a functioning mouth, but had independently moving breasts -- from the second circle of hell. (But, if I'm buying any art right now, it's that painting with the fishtank at Underbones, and, well, I just got my brakes done...)
Some of the meta-commentary (i.e., characters complaining about puppets) might make this a good pairing with The Thief and the Cobbler (i.e. "who built this place?")
In classic BUFF form, the movie started late, an hour behind schedule. Heck, that may be a new record in my many years of BUFFing.
Afterwards, we headed over toHouse of Blues Doyles for the Dewar's party and a background shorts screening. I completely forgot there'd be a band playing. They turned out to be a totally dancable surf-style band who also happened to enjoy jamming in front of videos of people slicing brains. "Need a refill on the Scotch... and the brains!"

hahathor's off puzzling this weekend, else I'd drag her out to the next show, at tomorrow's BUFF party. They don't have another local gig scheduled after that. Sigh.
