My buddy Brownie and I watched the 17 minute Super 8 digest of
Fun In Acapulco the other day. First, 17 minutes is just about the
right length for any Elvis movie. And second, this is the GAYEST Elvis
movie EVER. I'm not completely convinced that Kenneth Anger didn't
direct it.
First he slow dances with a lady matador. Then he watches a guy in
tight swimming trunks dive off the high dive, and that makes him
flash back to when he was in the circus (shirtless in white tights) and
accidently dropped one of the other trapeze artists to his death - yes,
Elvis'sflashback is the same as Dick Grayson's!) Then he sings a bunch
of songs fronting a mariachi band wearing a matador outfit!
Not that there's anything
wrong with that!
