Real Men Eat Vegan Meatballs

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Hey gang,

The Apple just wants to give y’all a heads up about this week’s super sweet screenings of HORSEFINGERS 3: STARFUCKER at the Slamdance festival.

Is anyone in Utah right now? Maybe for that “other” festival? If so, peep the details below. It’s the CITIZEN KANE of movies about women with hoofs for hands.

And I can verify that the platters of spaghetti and meatballs you see being consumed on screen are indeed meatless.

So… That’s been cleared up….

Adam Rothenberg qua Lem

Emma, dressed as the mythological Horsefingers, bumps into Lem, a minor movie star, at a local bar. He doesn’t remember having met her before, but he does like the cut of her hoof. No one is what they appear to be in this disquieting tale of animal attraction. Maria Thayer (Tamela from “Strangers With Candy”) and Adam Rothenberg are right on target, playing it utterly straight as this strange and sexy story gets increasingly surreal. Thayer’s increasing discomfort as Rothenberg pressures her to play horsey in a restaurant is painfully raw. (Paul Sbrizzi, Gallery Host, Co-Chair Shorts Programming)
