The actual marathon had had its usual scheduling woes which meant by the time I got to the theater early enough to catch UFOria, it had already been running for 45 minutes. I apparently missed the slower portions of the film, starring Cindy Williams as a witness to a UFO sighting who becomes a revivalist prophet thanks to the con artistry of Fred Ward and Harry Dean Stanton. There's a trailer load of stolen cars what's also involved for some reason. When the UFO finally appeared on screen the audience cheered. The ending was cosmically ambiguous. The film was dumped and sank and as far as we know never had a DVD release. We may very well have been watching the only extant 35mm print, which was why I decided to hike down the hill to the theater at 4 in the morning.
Damn, Time Piece was amazing. I want to say Henson did a few live-action film bits for early Sesame Street (I think he did the Painter bits) but nothing could possibly catch what he did in his grown-up work.
