[Random Cool] Theme From ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ At Susan Tyrrell’s Memorial Service
Cult icon Susan Tyrrell (Forbidden Zone, “Tales From The Crypt” Fat City, The Offspring) passed away on June 16th in Austin, Texas. Her memorial service was held this past Thursday at The Alamo Drafthouse and Highball Lounge. She was definitely a renegade and she would have most certainly appreciated the title of her service – “Susu’s Rotten Memorial” – which was loosely named after her one-woman operetta, “My Rotten Life”.
I didn’t know Tyrrell, but I am dear friends with both Yvonne and Josh Lambert and both of them knew her well. Yvonne in particular was a constant in Tyrrell’s life (and Tyrrell in hers). From speaking with her it’s clear that Tyrrell left a hugely unconventional and loving mark on the lives of those she cared about. She was a source of strength, but not in the dour or humorless manner that you might expect from that statement. So it seems fitting that her memorial was equally unconventional. On that note here’s Josh and Yvonne (from The Octopus Project) performing the theme from Rosemary’s Baby. It was a last minute addition – so they only had time to practice it once – but I think it’s both a fitting number for the service and an interesting interpretation of the theme.
Yvonne explains the significance, “She once made me play the song over & over again in my car (it’s one of my favorites and she liked it too) while she told me all about Roman Polanski and how much she hated him.”
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
