He was not to everyone's -or most people's - taste, but he left a big footprint. I saw some of his stuff at midnight movies in Dallas, when midnight movies were just becoming a thing. Several hundred hippies would gather outside the old Festival thater, which showed Spanish language movies. Their audiences would file out after the last showing, gingerly making their way through this mass of freaks. Then we'd go in, and you could barely see through the fog of burning cannabis, in the one of the few public places you felt comfortable lighting up. The Anger movies were part of a multitude of shorts and features shown every week.

Kenneth Anger is not to everyone's taste, but I would prefer to watch even his least successful output to mainstream Hollywood crap. At least he was trying to do something interesting instead of just putting out the usual pablum. I finished watching Dix per cent (Call My Agent). IMO it lost the plot(s) in the last few episodes, but I still mostly enjoyed it overall. I have collected Call My Agent Bollywood, but I am not really motivated to move straight on to it. At least with Dix per cent I was familiar with the actors and directors who portrayed version of themselves, whereas I know little about Bollywood folks so I would probably miss the jokes. I saw a post from a friend who lives on Shetland who just spent a couple of days working as an extra on the show of the same name. I'll have to watch for her driving a car around on screen, but her post also reminded me I haven't got around to the latest completed season yet. LC
