The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)
Tumblr media
Movie #1,056 • TRUE RANDOM VOL. XLIX
Tumblr media
This has to be the most "I would have eventually watched this at some point!" TRUE RANDOM selection in the history of TRUE RANDOM (see old 47-Volume archive here). But I don't question the GODS of TRUE RANDOM. If they wanted to me to watch this weird-ass "David Bowie as an alien" 70s sci-fi cult classic, then so be it.
Tumblr media
The main takeaway I had from this was that, yes, it is weird. But not at all in the ways I was expecting. (The plot is the plot, and is as "weird" as any film from the genre really.) The thing about The Man Who Fell to Earth that struck me was how strange it was stylistically. This, at times, feels like an art movie, and not in an annoying or pretentious way. It was my first foray into the work of Nicolas Roeg, as well, and has definitely made me curious about his other work.
Tumblr media
I suppose it's a bit disjointed, but it always feels purposefully so. The passing of time is only marked by the characters surrounding Bowie aging as he remains the same. And Bowie is fantastic. You get the feeling that he could have been an all-time great actor if that was the arena he leaned into.
Tumblr media
The supporting cast is also pretty good. I love seeing Rip Torn in these earlier roles. Candy Clark as Mary Lou, Bowie's human love interest, is more of a mixed bag, but ultimately her chaotic energy is good for the film. I liked this meditation on trains in one of her more subdued scenes...
The film's anticlimactic ending was also lovely. There's pointed criticism about Western/American culture here, and watching all the energy sputter out of the protagonist as well as . On the surface it seems totally inscrutable and bizarre but it has a lot of cutting things to say about media saturation, societal control and — weirdly enough — the dangers of alcohol? They're all interconnected in the end: stitching together a web of malaise that is so commonplace, we accept it plainly as the way things are meant to be.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Look so it's Tom Davis Tuesday and I know no one cares or reads these posts ok? And I'm really sad because he deserved adoration and admiration and frankly credit for a lot of comedy.
But I'm especially sad because the sketch I would like to share is not available anywhere to share here. It's only available to stream through watching the full episode which you can do on either Peacock or possibly still Hulu.
It's from season five. Last episode actually. May 24th, 1980. Buck Henry is the host of course.
The sketch I'm referring to is Mommy Beer. It's a musical sketch about a beer brand with a nipple attached.
The nice thing about the sketch is it's got Tom Davis, Al Franken, Jim Downey, Buck Henry, Bill Murray, Brian Doyle Murray, and the ever amazing Peter Aykroyd (yes that's right Danny's little brother).
If anyone is reading this and you can go watch it, I highly recommend it. But I warn you non existent reader that there is an Uncle Roy sketch and if you don't know what those are you can guess by the name what it's about I'm sure since I'm warning you.
If anyone is reading this and they can't stream the episode, onesnladay.com has a write up about it and many pictures to boot.

This picture credit to onesnladay.com please visit the site they're pretty nifty. If you read all the way to here I love you and thank you. I don't care about getting popular I just think the unknowns in this photo deserve to be remembered.

. The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity with which others are trying to prove him wrong.
