Sorry, I can’t resist. Remember when I warned you about IFC’s plans to produce and distribute 10 additional episodes of Trapped in the Closet? Um, well, a preview of the first of those episodes is now up on Stereogum (via Fimoculous). Actually, it’s only about 16 seconds of preview–the first minute forty is an R. Kelly-guided recap of the first … uh … season?–but in that 16 seconds, we get glimpses of a gospel choir, an aircraft that at first looks kind of like a spaceship but on further inspection seems to be a helicopter, and the return of the midget.
All that’s great, but I’m really posting about this for two reasons: 1) R. Kelly told Variety that he thinks of Trapped in the Closet as “an independent film,” and 2), the first comment on Stereogum made me laugh out loud: “I like this better when it was called Blue Velvet and it didn’t star R. Kelly.” You may now tell me about your dream R. Kelly/David Lynch collaboration in the comments.
