Ok. This is old news. Seriously old news. Reporting on this now makes me feel like this:
Basically the biggest cinematic event of the year (for me) is about to drop and I’m sooooo excited. Bruce LaBruce’s “Otto” or “Up With Dead People” is soon to be released, and BUTT magazine is saying that there will be a DVD Box set of all his films to be released in conjunction. They’re doing a very Web 2.0 feature for an promotional booklet to be included with the set creating even more LaBruce buzz.
In honor of the release of BUTT buddy Bruce LaBruce’s new film Otto, Peccadillo Pictures is planning to release a DVD box set of all of his legendary films: No Skin Off My Ass, Super 8½, Hustler White, Skin Flick, and The Raspberry Reich. BUTT is asking readers to submit questions to Bruce for an interview that will run in the booklet that comes with the DVD box set. If you’ve ever had a burning question for Bruce (Does he have back issues of his legendary magazine J.D.’s available? Is he top or bottom? etc…) please let us know! Send your elaborate questions to info[at]buttmagazine.com.
Unfortunately this press release seems to be totally uninspired and doesn’t motivate me to submit any questions myself. All it makes me want to do is ask, “so Bruce, why did you throw those awful parties at the Boys Room? (srsly that place sucks).” I blame it on badly written example questions; I don’t really give a crap whether Bruce LaBruce is a top or a bottom. They’ve been posting a lot of myspace bulletins about this, so I apologize once again that this is old news.
But truth be told, I’m super excited for his new movie and will probably end up spending a ludicrous amount of money to own the box set. Especial since Raspeberry Reich is the best and can no longer be screened ever since French court ordered a cease and desist in conjunction with a of a lawsuit involving the image of Che Guevara used in the film (at least according the IMDB’s trivia). Whether or not the trivia on IMDB is totally correct, the film hasn’t been screened since 2005.
Check out the trailer for Otto below and prepare to mess your pants, because it’s nearly impossible not to have a spontaneous orgasm over the possibilities of how amazing this movie may be.
Fun fact and sign that I’ve been in New York too long: when I was 20 I totally had a one night stand with the kid in the weird boyscout uniform near the end of the trailer. His name is Gio and he no longer remembers me, because I saw him bar tending once and was like “hey, didn’t we sleep together once and then I never called you back because I thought you were actually a little creepy after the fact?” and he was like “what are you talking about?”
