Hedwig and the Angry Inch

For those of you who can get past the notion that the movie's main character at some point willingly hacks
most of her (oh, well, alright, his) penis off, you will enjoy the hell out of this movie, based on the Broaday production of the same name.

For those of you who can't...go rent "Mission to Mars." You deserve a break today!

Anyway, this is one of the best films I have ever seen. Funny, hearbreaking, and harnessing a musical
aggression not seen since the last performance of Van Hollmer, "Hedwig" takes the life of a no-ho punk rock tranny and turns it into pure gold.

For those of you who've spent time interacting with the military in Germany (what ever happened to that
Paul Pfeifer guy??), the film will have a special resonance, as Hedwig downs gummy bears and other capitalist snacks with her hot American lover.

For those of you who've ever been to a punk show with three wanna-bees and a few hangers on, the Kansas City scene will kick your ass.

And for those of you who ever got screwed over in a relationship..well, this one's for you.

So, go see this movie. It will let you in on all the horrible reasons why you should never, ever, ever, put a bra in a dryer. And if you can't see the movie, at least buy the soundtrack, because it's really something to thrash to.
