UP YOURS, JUSTIN HANNAH
So here’s the story… I (Eugene Neuter) wanted to do a documentary on the making of Bill Jones, Insane Spider-Boy. Don’t ask me why. Let’s just say that it seemed like a good idea at the time. Justin Hannah, who worked on Bill Jones, was the first to be interviewed. However, being fairly shy and reserved, Mr. Hannah was initially uncomfortable with the idea of being filmed.
But apparently, he didn’t mind speaking on camera as long as he could “loosen up” with a few drinks. Actually, I believe his words were “I’ll do it if I can get shit-faced.” The matter was settled, and after only two drinks, Mr. Hannah seemed much more open and talkative. He even offered to host and narrate our documentary. We were all very excited.
Then he took off his pants. “It’ll work,” he insisted. “Trust me.”
My crew then proceeded to film 40 minutes of completely useless footage, as this naked man became more and more drunk and belligerent. After filming ended, Mr. Hannah (”accidentally”) smashed three cameras, goosed an intern, and urinated in a stove (his own stove, thankfully). We excused ourselves when he passed out.
Naturally, we were all pretty pissed off.
You can imagine our confusion the following Monday, when Mr. Hannah began a series of harassing phone calls to the Pudgy Neuter Offices. He claimed he’d been “slipped a rufie” by a member of the film crew; that he’d been “walking crooked” ever since the filming. He demanded to know what had been done to him, whether or not it had been videotaped, and if so, where he could purchase a copy. When we told him the footage was useless crap that no one would ever want to see, he hung up. He called back the next day, suggesting we had stolen his kidneys.
Long story short, the project was cancelled, and we were all very, very pissed off. Especially me, the usually congenial (and often, springtime fresh) Eugene Neuter. Luckily, Mr. Hannah had signed a waiver prior to filming, allowing me to use his footage in any way I saw fit. I decided to make this NEW film, pretty much just to be a bastard.
Ironically, just as editing on THIS film was completed, Justin, Uncle Pudgy and I attended several counseling sessions. We got to the root of our anger issues, and luckily, were able to rekindle our lost love. But like I said, the movie was pretty much finished, so we went ahead and slapped it on the site anyway.
Mr. Hannah is suing our asses as we speak.
What you are about to see is raw footage of a drunk naked guy. This film may challenge or offend some viewers; art often does.
