Boo Hoo In Tinseltown Dept. - Dennis Hopper

The Last Movie was fucked up by Antonioni in the cutting room. Hopper was splicing the whole thing together when the Italian genius berated him for his conventional narrative approach and insisted he adopt William Burroughs' dated "cut-up" technique to disrupt the flow and disorient the audience, making them do the work of assembling the story. Result: a movie only projectionists and people physically unable to move sat through. Apparently this story is wrong - it was Alejandro Jodorowski. And he denies it, saying his version was the one that made narrative sense. "It has been suggested that Jodorowsky’s version still exists somewhere, though it has never been found".

There's a great movie in there, and it's a continuing mystery why nobody has stepped up and done the fan edit that would restore the narrative. It took until The Year Of The Plague 2020 for someone to get around to releasing this here soundtrack album, a Record Store Day special.

As a FoamBonus™, you get the swell The American Dreamer [FoamFeatured© antecedently - Ed.] and Easy Rider soundtracks bundled in at no extra cost! Hoo boy! Are we having fun yet?
