Uncle Meat

Only for the true Zappa fanatic. I saw this three years ago, about two years into my newfound love for Zappa's music. To some extent, there is always some joy in seeing your heros on the screen- so I did not regret seeing it. But it's really bad. The movie was begun in the late sixties, and finished in the eighties. If I remember correctly , there are some musical performances which were alright. But there also were numerous lame sequences. A guy expresses his fantasy to be beaten by a toilet brush, somebody eats a cheeseburger while taking a shower, some woman repeatedly returns to the topic of a rubber chicken. Just lots of uninteresting would-be skits. Kind of like being stuck at some unknown relative's house watching home movies, but with even less narrative. Bad.
