Sparks new dark comedy

CHRISTOPHER WOOD: FUNNY BUCKET >>>

RL,-JR,-and-JM-250 I have to go.

This thought emerges as I look upon row after polished row of Honey Buckets. What cinematic mischief has driven me from a warm bed this chilly November morning to Puyallup's premiere receptacle repository? Today this lot of loos serves as a worthy backdrop for filmmaker Randy Sparks' It Don't Rain on Sunny Days. I guess one person's waste is another's inspiration.

The genuinely funny script - rare for an independent comedy - centers around Jason Feldman (played by Sunny's co-producer Joe Rosati), a thirty-something going nowhere in life. He spends his days scrubbing out portable toilets and taking abuse from his hot-tempered boss Mr. Cross (Seattle comedian Rod Long), and Cross's burly, brownnosing lackey Andre (Jason McKibbin). But when Jason wins the lottery, things REALLY start going down the drain.
