 Rating:  - BrackishI appreciate the fair warnings about the transfer. I got beat-to-the-punch when someone else stole the only VHS copy I knew of, from the Wherehouse in the late eighties. So, when I happened upon the Laserdisc I added it to my collection of Champagne for Caesar and Susan Slept Here. They seemingly could also only be had in this format, which I'm now grateful for having excellent transfers of all three movies. With such excellent sources as these Laserdiscs, you wonder what could be the problem with making a decent DVD. Champagne for Caesar is also a lousy DVD transfer but it doesn't cost 3.98, it's 22.99. Well, that being said, this is a marvelous movie. Everyone in it is wonderful though you'd almost have to say this was written ...

It's wildly inventive, crazy, and stupid (but in a good way)! Amazon lists this disc at under $4 -- and you sure get what you pay for! The DVD is an ultra-bargain basement release. I knew I was in trouble when I saw the box it came in. A half-thick DVD case with video captures for the box art. Not good! I owned the poster back in college.. why wasn't that used? It's little more than a DVD dub of the VHS version. Colors are smeary, detail is blurry. The audio is muffled. The tape's tracking is bad in spots. Don't expect normal DVD clarity here! While it's great that this movie is available on DVD, I just wish ... Read More: Rating: - "That's the tale of the tube, in one short spurt..."A charming pop-art nightmare piped-in from another dimension, MEET THE HOLLOWHEADS is an unassuming cult sleeper brimming with wit and imagination. Highly stylized with bold colors and cartoonish sets, this zany satire paints a meticulously-detailed picture of an alternate universe where the world rests upon a literal "edge" of eternal nothingness and essentials are delivered through an elaborate network of underground tubes. The story follows a day in the life of the (seemingly) wholesome Hollowhead clan as they deal with all manner of familial strife, not the least of which is an unexpected visit from Mr. Hollowhead's slimy boss Mr. Crabneck, who wastes no time in coming on to Mrs. Hollowhead and proves harder to kill than Wolfgang Kieling ... Read More: Rating: - How One Family Survives The FutureA day in the life of the Hollowhead family. The action centers around the father bringing the boss home for dinner. The family is made up of the Father, Mother, young son, teen daughter, and older son. What makes this movie so quirky is the dystopian society that makes up the setting. Everything comes into the home through tubes run by a giant company that Father works for. Goofy gadgets and strange bio/hybrids make for a visually unique film. The family has been compared to the Bundys but Father is successful (written up in trade journals an #1 at his job), Mom is an excellent cook and homemaker, the youngest son is sort of like Beaver with a Haskel-like friend who gets him in trouble, the daughter is trying to grow up despite ... Read More: Rating:  - Bizarre Cult GemI was wondering if this one would ever come oozing back up from the tubes. Juliette Lewis, John Glover, Bobcat Goldthwait and Anne "Where's the Beef" Ramsey join an ensemble cast in a story about a subterranean society whose lives depend on an infrastructure of tubes. At the center of this tale is the Hollowhead family, consisting of a hard-working dad with hopes of promotion at the job, a sparkly mom who gets food out of a duct in the wall, a young boy who gets amusement picking parasites from the family (dog?) and slingshotting them into a fan, an older sis whose hormones are in overdrive, an older brother who plays an instrument that resembles a cross between an accordion and a rubber chicken, and of course an eyeball plant that lives in the ...
