Loveless, jobless, possibly terminally ill, Frank has had enough of the downward spiral of America.

I don't understand. This man and his daughter are disgusted by public culture so they decide to arm up and kill anyone who even mildly bothers them? And this is supposed to be enjoyable?

the girl isn't his daughter, just his accomplice. And it's been getting great response so far. It actually played in town here on monday but I couldn't make it.

he did a dark comedy a long time ago called shakes the clown. i liked it. there was a great speech by the bad guy, a clown named binky. i never heard it, but i noticed rem had a song called binky the doormat, which had to be from that speech. anyway, i went and saw bobcat do standup once back in the mid-90s. he was great. seems like a smart guy. i'm not saying he's earned some lifetime pass with me or anything, but i'd bet on bobcat.

His old comedy CD from the last decade, "I Don't Mean To Insult You, But You Look Like Bobcat Goldthwait" was pretty good as well. He's much more enjoyable with a mic on stage than in the movies.

Think Falling Down with a little Office Space, finished off with some Natural Born Killers.
All in all, the right people died.
