Review

SCREENED AT SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST FILM FESTIVAL

all these shorts were part of a midnight shorts collection so you’ll see a trend of off-the-wall stuff here…this one is about two guys in a car. the driver is taking the passenger to the ER because he can’t get the light bulb out of his ass. they talk about how gay or not gay this activity is for a while in a humorous way. eventually the passenger convinces the driver that doing it isn’t gay and that it serves as a nice release. at the end (no pun intended) of the film the driver is in the hardware store and he buys a light bulb “for his chandelier.” the title is funny as is the dialogue.
