American: The Bill Hicks Story Official Trailer
Really excited to see this. My first introduction to Bill Hicks was through Tool’s Ænema. Like any youth who had a fanboy fascination with a band, I would always read up on the obscure soundclips found in their albums. One of the more famous quotes was his “man on acid” stand-up, which is also present in this trailer.
The American Movie is a documentary about Bill Hicks that uses some pretty impressive animation techniques to tell his story. Read up more on the film here.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fuckin high on drugs.
Hicks is one of those guys I know I should like, remember, and seek out, but whenever I see something like this, I realize that I’ve forgotten about him. Maybe this movie is exactly the sort of thing I’d need to get going.
I, too, was introduced to him via Tool. Their website for Ænema was one of the first websites I ever went to.
