I’ve always wanted to see Get Crazy (1983) after hearing that Malcolm McDowell plays a Mick Jagger parody named Reggie Wanker. Someone put it all up onto YouTube and it’s a live action rock n roll cartoon (from Allan Arkush, director of Rock n Roll High School) that makes fun of hippies, rock, punk, new wave, all the while paying tribute to the days of the Filmore East. Stars a young Daniel Stern as the stage manager trying to keep it all together, Lee Ving from FEAR as the chained up punker “Piggy”, and Lou Reed wryly funny as the reclusive rock poet legend named “Auden”. Crammed full of silly gags and great energetic performances. Recommended.
