Very Strange Film If you\'ve never seen it check it out
I though this was cool because you can\'t get a copy of this film! (unless you find a copy used on VHS)
200 Motels is available to stream/download from http://joox.net for all those interested. Act fast because some movies don\'t stay on this site very long.

I like the fact he was willing to make art for sake of art as a director, but there are some hard parts to get through. Some of it is briliant though, like the stop animation clamation flash frame segway in the guitar solo from inca roads on dub room special. As far as rock band films go though nothing beats pink floyds the wall.
