BLUE SUNSHINE (1978)
“Acid turns you into a bald super-strong-killing-machine. What a load. I met Timothy Leary once at Harvard in 1964. He wasn’t so much bald and strong, as koo-koo and nut-so. But, this film’s anti-drug message is far outweighed by it’s pro-vigilante message. Mister Zalman King screams and sweats his way through this goof-ball ride, killing every zombie-faced baldy he sees. Maybe, in the end the message is a important one. Don’t do acid, kids. Or else some wild-eyed mensch will shoot your face.”
-Uncle Marty Gazelle
“Whole things plays like a mid-80s issue of DAREDEVIL where he’s going up against some angel dust smoker who’s momentarily superhuman and shit. I don’t think acid’ll do that. It’s fucking CRAY that Zalman ‘Red Shoe Diaries’ King stars. it’s like he was all, ‘this shit is too aggro. I need to focus on smooth-jazz erotica now…’”
-Tommy Gazelle
“As Salvador Dali once said, ‘I don’t do drugs. I am drugs.’ I too am drugs but to a less museum-worthy extent. And I guess I do drugs, but you know, just weed. No serial killer LSD for this guy. I will, howevs, probably OD on the soundtrack to King Zalman’s “Wild Orchid”
