John Holmes Motherfucker  - 2015-02-09
Since not everyone is going to have the time to watch the whole thing right away, here are a couple of highlights.
The death of the Earl, by some kind of erotic asphyxia, that sets up the story is an outrageous and yet oddly touching scene, from about 6:00 to 12:00
"The Electric Christ": The psychiatrist who is treating Jack attempts to cure him of the delusion that he is Jesus by introducing him to another patient with a similar delusion. What results is, among other things, a symbolic battle between the God of Love and the God of vengeance, and the God of vengeance wins decisively. That begins at around 1:26:00
This is, by far, my favorite Peter O'Toole performance, though I never saw "Lawrence of Arabia"

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2015-02-10 It's hard to imagine a role that that requires a greater range, from deranged hippie Jesus to deranged
upper class Jack the Ripper. Not to mention the over the top physicality: the dancing, the skipping, the leaping, including the thrilling, iconic leap from the cross. How did he not break an ankle? He must have had a net or something.

The scene where Jack leaps from the cross begins around 1:05:00. Bless WC Fields, who is dead but lives on.

EvilHomer - 2015-02-10 Hey Mr Holmes, unrelated to this video, but what are your thoughts on the Cayla Wood controversy? I'd like to get your input and possibly support here.

I don't know what that is, but I'll google it.

You're a very chivalrous guy, for better or worse, and this seems like the sort of situation you'd be on top of.
