October 20, 2003 - Wireless Flash
From Spongebob To Smiths (link)

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- The folks who work on the animated series, "Spongebob Squarepants," have some strange ways of occupying their spare time -- like stalking the former lead singer of the 1980s band, The Smiths.
According to Spongebob animation director Andrew Overtoom, one staff member is such a big Morrissey fan that she still brags about the time she accidentally spilled a drink on the singer in a Los Angeles bar.

Overtoom was so inspired by the woman's story that he turned it into a live-action black comedy, "My Life With Morrissey," that is a long way off from "Spongebob's" whimsy.

Still, the connection is closer than people realize. Overtoom says many of "Spongebob's" cast and crew worked on his film at times when they were supposed to be working on the cartoon.

"My Life With Morrissey" hits DVD Oct. 28 but Overtoom will be pretty busy. He starts work on the "Spongebob Squarepants" movie today (Oct. 20) and expects to be busy until next June.

  • The movie is really bad. I just got it (it is already available from Amazon)and watched it. At least it is a nice tribute but the film is unwatchable. I will say though that the DVD is worth buying for the fan video alone. Very cool stuff like fans recounting meeting Morrissey and coverage of the convention. If that part had been turned into a 2 hour documentary then this would have been a killer movie.

  • I'm looking forward to seeing it! People either LOVE or HATE Morrissey I've found no inbetweeners. Had a roommate once that called it "depressing" music, and would actually turn it off on me, even when I was listening to it in my bedroom, funny as it'd always lifted MY spirits. Then he heard "There is a Light..." and he was hooked.

    Some of those Fark comments were hilarious.

    Can't say I've ever watched a full episode of Spongebob but maybe I'll give it a try.

    Poor Robert he's looking like a bad cracked-out drag queen version of himself. Still LUV "Creep" though.
