Amatuer archiver movie#
None of the theatergoers will comment on the movie as they leave the place except for one man who is radiating erudite analysis. As the Wrong-Way Corrigan of TV correspondents, Barnett runs out of gas en route to cover a cultural story and so reports from "Arlington's only pornographic movie theater" instead. Information Agency, and Jeff Sacks, a 28-year-old lawyer for the Veterans Administration. On the first show, the quartet romps through a series of sketches and routines that range from hey! to blyech! Clearly the standouts among the troupe are Nancy Barnett, a 28-year-old management specialist at the U.S. They endeavor to give Arlington an identity, which can't be easy for a county known mainly for its cemetery. They aspire to do for Arlington roughly what John Waters has done for Baltimore, or what the Langley Punks have done for Langley Park, Md., but within the more orderly strictures of mainstream TV. The sometimes satirical, sometimes just silly show, known as "WOA" for short, and soon to be known as "WOW" when it becomes "Watch Out, Washington," is the work of four obviously dedicated amateurs who put it together last fall while holding down full-time jobs. This merrily mixed bag of small potatoes, produced on a shoestring at Arlington Metrocable's public access channel, gets its first over-the-air exposure tonight at 11:30 on Virginia's ragtag Channel 56, a station so beset by technical inadequacies that its signal is occasionally indecipherable.
"Watch Out, Arlington!" is the kind of tape that should arrive in a Giant Food sack. Not only that, but shy the usual $250 screening fee (heh-heh, only a joke, but what a great idea, I wonder if I could get away with it, I sure could use the money, what with all those Christmas bills to pay, and now that stamps are going up to 22 cents, and - more on this later).
It isn't every preview tape submitted for screening that arrives in a beat-up Giant Food sack.
