We watched Incubus. In it’s entirety. Incubus. The only full-length motion picture ever shot entirely in Esperanto. Starring William Shatner. And Milos Milos, who soon after completion of the film killed himself and Mickey Rooney’s wife – although that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the movie, but it’s the most interesting detail so I leave it for your consideration.

Matt Rossi dared me to watch Incubus years ago, but we just got around to it last month. I probably had a whole load of snark to dump on the movie but it’s been too long and I’ve repressed most of the details. I have to say I couldn’t get that bastard back in it’s little red envelope and back to the Netflix Fairy fast enough.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

It’s truly a thing of wonder. I can almost guarantee that you’ll wonder “why?” from the moment you press play. Why did they make it? Why are you watching it?

It’s certainly no Devil’s Rain.

If I was well enough to actually attend movies in the theatre I would march out and see Jesus Camp tonight, which looks fascinating. And does not star William Shatner. And does not appear to have any snippets of Esperanto in it whatsoever.
