Harry here with the latest report from Quint on DINNER FOR FIVE... and this is one strange as all fuck dinner. I mean, ya got Foggy Nelson, a mermaid, a spawn of hell and Andy Dick. Sounds like a strange dinner, here ya go...
Ahoy squirts. 'Tis I, the friendly neighborhood seaman, Quint, here with a very, very quick look at tonight's Dinner For Five on IFC.
I've been a little down in the mouth today as a result of a nasty little stomach bug, but I did get to check out tonight's show. It should be Dinner for Four as one of their guests didn't make it. The four are: Host Jon Favreau and guests Daryl Hannah, Marilyn Manson and Andy Dick.
The other guest (who went unnamed) didn't show up, so the show basically starts on a chaotic note with all of the guests fingering through their address books and stored cell phone numbers trying to call in a last minute replacement.
They're listing off names of potential replacements and we find out that Daryl Hannah is trying to get Tim Curry on the phone. My heart jumped... I'm a huge, huge Tim Curry fan. I'm not ashamed of it. Rocky Horror, Legend, Clue, IT... well, his performance in that mini-series, at least... are some of my favorites. He's a great character actor and/or villain. I'm sure he'd have some amazing stories... And he might have some amazing stories to share... in a later episode.
The show must go on and it did with just four people in the conversation. This is a fun episode. Hannah talks a lot about her early gigs, with a focus on Blade Runner. Manson talks about a home movie he made which is... um... Well, I didn't get an amazing grasp at what it was about, but it somehow involves Manson sucking his bassist's dick, getting interrupted by a groupie, then fucking the groupie in many weird ways.
The look on Hannah's face during the telling of this story is priceless. Manson saw it, too and brought it up. "I didn't offend you, did I?" To which Hannah politely says no, of course not.
It's not my favorite episode... That missing person I think took away a key personality that was needed to keep it from just being about Hannah or just being about how many fucked up things Manson has done before. Don't get me wrong... It's a really entertaining episode, but it lacks a great melding of personality that made last week's episode with Rod Steiger so amazing.
On the whole, tonight's show is a lot of fun. I think you guys'll get a kick out of it.
