Deathwatch – Week 2

I'm drained. I'm tired. And I haven't watched the dreaded 1900 yet. I have, however, gone to space, returned as a star baby and traveled across the Australian outback with two cross-dressing homosexuals and a transsexual.

The movies so far this week:

2001: A Space Odyssey

Ten minutes of dialog in 2 hours, 23 minutes. And that's the short version of the film, which originally was 2 hours, 40 minutes.

-

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Two cross-dressers and a transsexual lip sync to famous songs while garbed in full showgirls gear. They also dance and travel in a lavender-colored bus across Australia.

-

The movies ahead:

The Adventures of Robin Hood

1900
