    When I see Andy Kaufman I think of my grandmother.
    Maybe it is from watching reruns of Taxi at her house as a child. But that wasn't one of her favorite shows or anything.
    I don't actually have any specific memories with her that include anything about Andy Kaufman.
    But, I think of her when I see him.
    Perhaps seeing him reminds me of childhood and childhood reminds me of her.

    There's always been a deep fascination with Kaufman on…

    I honestly wanted to dislike this as some sort of inside out derivative, but damnit I really dug it.

    Perhaps not the best film to go into completely blind to the subject matter. Heavy, heavy stuff.
Haunting score. Beautifully shot. Captivating performances.

    I can’t believe as a SIX year old I watched (and loved) this as much as I did when it came out. 

    More of a mess than I remember, but damn it still slaps.
    some of the highest highs of any disney movie ever.
