B. Downing's "Johnny, Oh Johnny"
Part of a quintet of tributes to the great Kishore Kumar on the site, this short combines footage from the 1975 classic "Framed", starring the portly and charismatic Joe Don Baker, with scenes from the 2007 flop "Knowing", featuring a floundering, rescuing Nicolas Cage. Also with short bits from George Pal's early sci-fi classic, 1955's "Conquest of Space". The soundtrack is Kumar's classic opening title song from 1971's "Raja Jani". Editing, remixing and subtitles by Brandon Downing. Premiered on January 16, 2010, at SpaceSpace in Ridgewood, New York, at Poetry Time's showcase of John Sakkis, Niina Pollari, and John Coletti.
