a post-it-note tribute to ‘harry and the hendersons’
To avoid cleaning this afternoon, I made a short post-it note tribute to a cryptozoology Film that rarely (if ever) gets the acclaim and respect it deserves:
(soundtrack by the who)
I’m trying to decide if I should do Twins, Weekend at Bernie’s or The Forbidden Dance next.
UPDATE: sometimes flickr is crabby and won’t show my video, it’s also on youtube here (but its uglier/lower-res).

I love this more than anything that’s ever been drawn and put to music.
i hope this becomes a regular feature here.
so much in fact, that i am willing to sponsor your post-it-note and pens budget.
p.s. I’m voting for “Weekend At Bernie’s”
thank you, edwina-dear. I do purchase only the *finest* post-its.
Genius.
I’m going to vote for The Forbidden Dance. When it first came out on Pay-Per-View, you could watch the first 15 minutes for free, and so my neighbor and I hunkered down in hopes of seeing some nudity (we were tiny pervs, what). There was none, just some vaguely sexy dancing in some ‘native’ village. Sigh.
This blog, she hurts me with all her awesome. It is too much.
(Also, one write-in vote for “Krull”, please.)
mace: if ONLY you had had HBO, they pretty much showed that movie on repeat for the entirety of my childhood.
-j. I’m so glad that we agree that NSTGD would be gendered female. In spanish it would be la NSTGD.
Nunca de palmadas al burro de regalos!
¡Fantastico!
¡The very jaunty music, she has moved my mind to dance!
Also, do this again soon, please.
will-theboy - whoa jesuspants, that’s some high praise! thanks muchly.
i remember renting this from krogers way back when. i found it to be abomination that should never have been put to celluloid. it was about this time that i started my “life is too short for bad movies” kick.
thank you for letting me finally enjoy what should have been a slam dunk of awesomeness.
and even though you did not suggest it, i think you should do my own private idaho next. i might laugh till the walls broke with that one.
nadir - oh man, my own private idaho is DEFINITELY being added to the list. perfection.
Holy heck this is awesome. I’m still figuring out how you dropped the song onto that piece, and of course, how you follow up with another song that tops that one.
I’d like to submit a write in vote for a tribute to Overboard set to the music of Hall and Oates. Just throwing that out there.

DC- I really am running out of good animation backdrop music (which must be mostly vocals-free and very rhythmic but not techno-y)
jamie - whoa. that is a genius idea.
Did I ever mention how much I love you? Now seems like an appropriate time.
Also, I second Weekend at Bernies. Perhaps with a Beach Boys soundtrack?
i vote for bernie, your sister wants the “lambada” movie…”i am the princess of the rain forest!!!!!” ROCK ON MERE!
By far the best film I’ve seen in ages! Can’t wait for the next one - I’m hoping for Weekend at Bernie’s!! That was brilliant!!
omg, i finally saw this. it was…well, beyond worth the wait. i am beyond words, awestruck by the genius that is meredith.
ps i second weekend at bernie’s next!
third, i mean, apparently.
Totally Awesome.
