…to appreciate how fucking sexy Rip Torn was in the film, The Man Who Fell to Earth? I mean seriously.

Maybe it’s because I came into my gay self during this period.

Anyway, I’d only seen this film once, when it actually came out in 1976. I remember being incredibly disappointed—not to mention confused—when I walked out of the theater. I happened across it on HBO+ the other night, and thought I’d give it another chance; just to see how it’s aged over the past 44 years.

Let’s just say I came away from it just as confused as I was when I was 18. I had a brief discussion with a friend afterward, and he indicated that the European cut actually does make more sense of the story than what was presented to the prudish American audience.
