Thundercrack! makes national news . . .
. . . that is, if anything on Fox can be called “news.” In a piece headlined Perverts Put Out, Fox talking heads get their panties in a twist over San Francisco Frameline’s screening of a thirty-five-year-old film. It’s priceless. I would like to personally thank Rupert Murdoch and his minions for giving national publicity to Thundercrack! I know that George (Kuchar) also thanks you, as would Curt (McDowell) if he were still with us.

great news!
Well, in its own way it is. Mostly I thought it was funny to watch the Fox people rant and rave about Thundercrack! being such an indecent piece o’ crap while at the same time showing so many clips from the film.
Fox is really fucked up, the announcer showed such horrified fascination that it can only be good for Thundercrack
It’s hard to imagine any kind of publicity actually being bad for Thundercrack! People who have seen the film either love it or loathe it; there is no in between.
By the way, nm, have you ever seen it? I think you’d get a kick out of it.
