Movies

Human Highway (1982) Eccentric improvisational amateur comedy following the antics of the denizens of a roadside diner on Earth's last day. Musician Neil Young said, "I know what, let's make a movie!" and got his chums Dean Stockwell, Russ Tamblyn, and DEVO and they all made a movie. Some parts are very funny, some parts require patience. I found the bits featuring Young and Tamblyn as a dopey duo the most entertaining. Had only an extremely limited theatrical release and was only released to VHS years later, but it is available and anyone who really needs to see this (mostly DEVO fans) probably already has. Wells from the same font as Timothy Carey's The World's Greatest Sinner, but it's the sort of thing that if you aren't really sure you want to see it you probably ought to get some reading done instead. 5/10
