(38) Time Warp
(38) Time Warp. As a Hare Krishna devotee, in a promo titled “Time Warp”, for the Showtime TV channel.
Here’s an almost heroically tiresome 21 seconds of video, including me as a Hare Krishna devotee, looking stoned and gormless while I play with one of those iconic spring-shaped toys called a Slinky. This piece aired on Showtime to promote a season of classic 1970s movies on that channel. It was a tolerable and silly day’s shoot on 10th Street, beside Tompkins Square Park in the East Village. And yes—as a phoned-in, half-awake, late-’90s evocation of the ’70s, this little promo is just as heart-warmingly unconvincing and cheesy as we’d hope it would be. (21”)
