Fall Edition 1996
by Kingnova"If you haven’t seen Technobabble,
you’re hurtin’. Simply because
the movie is about you,
the people, music, and DJ’s.
So don’t be stupid, go see it.My partner and I got to check out
the preview and to be honest, without
knowing what to expect, I figured
it was going to be some cheesy halfway
thrown together mess.But, instead, the film touched on
some really great moments. The music
is tremendous, especially the opening
tune.We found so much fucking
comedy in the parts that featured
either Sandy or the Big Nasty.I mean that shit was really funny!
even when you just see the previews.
Factory Visuals deserve much credit
for their first feature film."********************************AXIS MAGAZINE
September 1996
by Corbett TrubeyTechnobabble is a damn funny
and entertaining movie.
From beginning to end,
this film is full of inside jokes,
good music, good times
and Factory Visuals’
trademark psychedelic graphics.The plot is simple:
Factory Visuals and Chang
must make their way from Atlanta
to O-town in time for Roland A. Long’s
house party, which promises to be an
event to remember, up there
with Passion 3 and Zen.During the course of the day,
a girl gets her belly button pierced,
a hitchhiker gets the crap beaten
out of him, a drunk driver fucks up,
and EVERYBODY gets high.But this only the beginning…
About 90% of the film is shot
in Orlando, with lots of familiar
places like The Edge, Unity
and Underground Record Source.There’s also plenty of locals
making guest shots including
Stace Bass, Daisy
and Scramble Campbell.Ralph Haslacker, founder
of Factory Visuals, has made
a movie that covers just about
everything you’d ever want to know
about the Orlando underground scene.
including some things that don’t
quite fit, such as an unnecessary
sex scene, and some alterna-group
performing on stage.And the acting isn’t so hot, either,
but that’ll be the least of what’s
on your mind, especially when
you’re watching Bunny spaz
out on stage like he always does.The audience at the Aloma Grill
frequently cheered when footage
of past events were shown and when
characters like the homophobe got
what they deserved.And the running flyer joke almost
had me in tears. The movie
is completely un-serious
and lets people know
that the scene is really
about people getting together
and having a good time.AND THE OSCAR GOES TO…
Sandy, who provides some
of the more memorable scenes
in the movie, including a hilarious
wrestling match over the last nitrous
balloon and a lovely
little nose-picking interlude.
I hope you can live it down, man.
Thumbs up!********************************SYNERGY MAGAZINE
Fall Edition 1996
by Princess Kitty La La"Porky’s meets progressive
underground in Technobabble,
a comedy written and directed by
Ralph Haslacker of Factory Visuals.Hilarious schlock
+ 70’s style sexploitation
+ reckless juvenile abandon,
and a slammin Kram score
sum up this raucous docudrama
that features local faces
and more than a few off-their-faces.This B-grade should get nods for its
impressive cinematography
and editing work as we wonder
through a day-or-so in the life
of a few O-Town party people.Our protagonist, Rollin A Long,
has arranged a generous house party
for his girlfriend’s birthday.He’s hired Chang and Factory Visuals
for the night, and the plot revolves
loosely around their timely arrival.The trip starts at a show
in Atlanta where the hired hands
are first delayed, and RiTM groupies
are treated to a full-on
“Bunny†battle with “Laser Mattâ€.There are many side trips,
including a nominated roster
of party extravaganzas reaching
as far as Nashville.A few thinking parts are even
slipped in (alcohol vs herbs,
homophobia, premature ejaculation,
etc, etc), but the mood stays
light enough for even
the most politically adverse.Speaking of political,
Technobabble is not
for those corrected types,
virgins under 18,
or self righteous, say-no-snobs.This is a serious beer crackin,
knee slappin, eye rollin,
butt jukin, Rockin good time.The next night you’re planning
to get silly, consider Technobabble
for the perfect pre-party warm up.
Cheerz."
