Hey, What Is Up With: Alison Maclean?

Last night I was thinking: what is up with Alison Maclean? Who, you should know, is the director of one of the greatest films of all time, Crush, which is about a weird love pyramid in New Zealand, with a young(er) Marcia Gay Harden. Now that is a fine motion picture film. Top ten, babes! Maclean later directed Jesus' Son and two excellent Sex and the City episodes, et al, including a bit of Tudords, but not enough, and I would appreciate there being more. And so then I found this 1989 short of hers online, which I remember being horrified by back when it swept Cannes. Grody. WHAT IS UP, ALISON, PLEASE WRITE IN AND SAY HAYYYY.

It's easier to be killed by a terrorist than it is to shack up with a foetus found in the kitchen sink over the age of 40.

Oh, you are inside my head! Who are you? Get out of my head!

formerly it takes a lot etc.

Man, more of a warning would have been welcome...I only got a few pulls from the drain into that before abandoning due to fear.

"Intolerable" sounds pretty tolerable.

Well, you won't see that on "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant".

Which is a highly excellent TLC show.

I was worried about Debbie Mazar the other day but then look where she ended up! EVERY THING WILL BE OK, ALI.

I never knew I could hold my breath that long... Can that get a "WTF!?!?!" tag as well?

also, that took me back to a time when new zealand films could be as weird as they wanted because it wasn't as if a film made in new zealand was going to be successful anyway.
