Danz0 : I can't believe it, they used smart phones as tricorders! That's really low class.
I was listening to the audiobook of past Doctor Who alumni Tom Baker’s autobiography on YouTube (which is well worth a listen - visceral, painfully honest and self-deprecating) and I had totally forgot that he was in this film - great anecdote about meeting Pasolini and during filming not being able to rise to the occasion during a lovemaking scene and Pasolini’s genius film crew using a screwdriver head and masking tape to mimic his member!
Pasolini died a horrific death that no one thought worthy of continuing an investigation. Tragic. Pasolini also directed a film titled “Marisa” and I wonder if my Nonna, as well as my Dad, being from Sicily, named one of my Aunts after the film.
When I was about 12yrs old my Dad was attending SDSU and he took me to a showing there of Sacco & Vanzetti. My Dad’s name was Bartolo. Vanzetti’s name was Bartolomeo. No irony or coincidence. Just tidbits of history.
EDIT: I just realized Pasolini directed “Marisa” 10yrs after my Aunt was born so that shoots that idea down. One more thing, we called tiny raisins pasolini.
