You know it's a wonderful world when "BREWSTER MCCLOUD"...

...plays twice in the span of a couple months...

...on the BIG SCREEN!

God bless the New Beverly and the Aero Theatre, two of the finest gems in Los Angeles.

For me, "Brewster McCloud," even more than "Nashville," is sort of a Rosetta stone for Robert Altman fans. It manages to tell an endearingly quirky love story (with Bud Court and Shelley Duvall! It's a 70's wet dream!) and encapsulate all the insanity, death-obsession, spot-on music, humor, and sage-like, almost-bemused cynicism that exists in the rest of Altman's work.

AND...Stacy Keach delivers one of the weirdest fucking supporting performances I've ever seen. Hands down.

This movie is the reason I go to movies...
