The Dark Backwards

This movie is seriously disturbing. Judd Nelson, Bill Paxton, and Wayne Newton. What a conglomeration of actors. Also featuring Rob Lowe, Lara Flyyn Boyle, James Caan, and bunch of other folks. Marty (Nelson) is a comedian and Gus (Paxton) is his accordion accompanist. Marty is a REALLY bad comedian and grows an arm out of his back – seriously. Gus gets him in front of an agent (Newton), who tries to use the gimmick to get him to Hollywood. It's a REALLY dark movie, and by dark, I mean the lighting, the content, and the environment (like a CSI set – ha ha ha). Gus will sleep with or eat anything put in front of him. He palls around with these huge 400+ lb women and rubs food on them and has sex with them (my apologies if that's your "thing" – no offense). Paxton is always eating moldy food and even licks on a dead girl he finds in a junkyard. Paxton is so annoying in this movie it makes me want to stab him in the throat with a butterknife. It's amazingly obnoxious. Anyway, not a great movie, but still some amusing lines.
