As the Crowes Fly

I heard from Mia Crowe today, so I will plug her DVD “Being Ron Jeremy”, which is one of the few films I have seen recently where I have laughed out loud. It is a hilarious satire of “Being John Malkovich” where people can channel inside the body of Ron Jeremy, a porn star.

I have to confess I have never seen a Ron Jeremy film, so I don’t know the degree to which Ron Jeremy playing himself satirizes his body of work (pun intended), but myself as well as most viewers should quickly pick up on this film satirizing porn films as well. This is central Pennsylvania, the land of the Mennonites where we barely accept the concept of electricity much less porn movies. But, no, this is not a porn movie, although there is nudity, so when watching this film keep the children locked in the basement as most of you readers probably do normally anyway (at least I’m sure that’s what you Buffy fans do, or, actually, most of you Buffy fans are probably the ones being locked in the basement, and you’re being locked in the basement by your children.)

Mia is very talented, and I hope she becomes very famous for purely personal reasons. I keep getting stopped on the streets of L.A. by people who ask if I am Russell Crowe’s brother (or, by a few really poor sighted people who ask if I am Russell Crowe. See my November 4, 2004 posting “Maybe a Russell Crowe Mind, But Not Body”). This way, the next time I get asked if I’m Russell Crowe’s brother, I can respond “no, but I might be Mia Crowe’s brother.” While they’re trying to figure that out, I’ll slip away.

You know, I technically am a Crow as a member of Alpha Chi Rho. I was stopped on the streets of Pittsburgh once by someone who asked if I was a crow, and they meant Alpha Chi Rho and not Russell’s family, so this question can easily confuse me.

Of course, I’m easily confused, but you readers knew that all along.
