Who knows how long this will stay up, or how long it’s been there, but you can watch all of Todd Haynes’ nototious, difficult to find directorial debut classic “Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story” on Google Video. An incomparable, strangely magical 43 minute film about the life of Karen Carpenter that was shot with Barbie dolls, take this as a serious opportunity if you haven’t seen the film. Originally released in 1987, it was withdrawn from circulation in 1990 after Haynes lost a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Karen’s brother and musical collaborator, Richard Carpenter.
