I know there's people out there into Elvis Sightings, but we here at NBT keep an eye out for H.D. Manitoba, who is alive and well livin' in N.Y.C. and last seen at the opening of 'End Of The Century'.
On a related note: the film's directors, Michael Gramaglia and Jim Fields were interviewed by Dave The Spazz on WMFU alongside original Ramones manager Danny Fields. And there's yet another review of the film in the New York Press.

Announcer who coined the expression, "Elvis has left the building" leaves the building.

Last night’s schlep into Edinburgh for the Film Fest was actually worth the effort. While the event itself seems like something of a damp squib, the documentary “I LIKE KILLING FLIES” was an absolute gem. It’s about a restaurant in NY called SHOPSIN’S which was in the process of losing it’s lease and relocating at the time of filming. This is no ordinary joint though, with 900 items + on the menu and a full set of rules, Shopsin’s is the kind of neighbourhood place that could only really exist in New York. The owner, Kenny Shopsin looks like Michael Moore going to a Halloween Party as Jack Osborne. He rules the roost and cusses everything in his path like a culinary Lou Reed dishing out barrack room philosophies as he goes. The term “character” doesn’t exactly sum this guy up but somewhere deep inside he’s a top humanist. “…FLIES” is a fine piece of cine, it’ll hit the spot guaranteed and I defy anybody who sees it not to want to find a table there straight away. At one point in the movie, Kenny’s daughter Minda is wearing a Rezillos T-shirt. This place certainly rocks and do what you can to see this. Kudos then to the person who brought this one to the table. This is the person who should be running the festival. Check out this New Yorker article and finally the piece de nae resistance, the MENU!

The soundtrack for Victory Tischler-Blue's 'Edgeplay/A Film About The Runaways' is available now from Hip-O Records. According to the press blurb the movie itself has been on the festival circuit since June 29, but after diggin' around a bit I didn't notice more then a couple of screenings in California. What is obviously needed is more a full scale distribution or DVD release. Anybody out there in the know?. (A short review of sorts can be found here). with thanks to SJ Bink for the initial waypoint.
