back in the late 90s, i really got obsessed with the young ones, and since imdb and ebay had just brought a lot more of the world within reach, i was spending a lot of time acquiring other stuff those guys had done. some things weren't so good (e.g. little noises; i thought mayall & crispin glover together would be great), some i loved (bottom), and some were just sort of in-between.

the supergrass was in-between. we have our cheesy 80s films, and so do the brits. it's a goofy, unremarkable-but-not-unpleasant comedy about an informer (a "supergrass" in uk english) who's just making it all up to impress a girl.

if you're curious, it looks as if you can watch the whole thing on youtube. the real genius of the film, though, is alexei sayle's minor role as a rural motorcycle cop.



now that i know this is on the youtube, i should just pitch the vhs i have laying around....
