01. I Married a Strange Person! (1997, USA) Bill Plympton -

has redeeming facet
Plympton’s best known for his instantly recognizable political cartoons for the NYT, Voice, Rolling Stone, et al., but it’s his animated films (mostly shorts) that have developed something of a cult following. While I am typically a fan of surrealist/absurdist humor, the animated medium is not really my favorite place for it. People like Matt Groening have championed this feature length film, but for me it overstayed it’s welcome rather fast, and Plympton’s filmic sensibility lacking to say the least.

02. Header (2006, USA) Archibald Flancranstin -

worth seeing [C-]
Tries a tad too hard, and is ugly as all hell but I get the feeling like this is what an H.G. Lewis film felt like to watch some 40 years ago.
