Thursday Lowdown: Take a Picture with the Swiss Army Man Boat Tonight!

Swiss Army Man, the latest movie to be filmed in Humboldt County, has been described as a hilarious and deranged buddy comedy — and also “the farting corpse movie.” It stars Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine, There Will Be Blood) as a suicidal island castaway and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter himself) as the flatulent corpse who washes ashore just before the suicide attempt, providing Dano’s character with companionship and an unexpected array of useful functions courtesy of his stiff, decomposing body.

The trailer (see above) should give you the flavor of the film. Not for everyone, obviously, but for those of us who find exhilaration in the quirky and demented, this thing looks very promising. (Certainly more so than the last thing.) The New York Times marked it as a critics’ pick, calling the film a “stunningly original mix of the macabre and the magical.”

Last week Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commissioner Cassandra Hesseltine announced that there will be a wooden sailboat featured in the movie at the Broadway Cinema before the 7 p.m. screening. Selfies encouraged.
