Review: almost as good as seeing her live, this has all the best bits of the show plus a half hour of extras, all as hilarious as the original content.

Review: Comedy with substance, and unfortunately intentionally induced laughter has become a rare commodity, fortunately or more pressing, here we find a rare exception.

Review: I got the video version of I'M STILL HERE DAMN IT! and I was worried that maybe the 30 minutes of footage available on the DVD would not be on the VHS version. Well thank goodness...it is! This is a concert recording that was shown on HBO, and runs about one hour. Additional footage is provided after the credits ... about 30 minutes of very funny bits that were sometimes funnier than anything included in the formal "show". This is Sandra Bernhard in rare form doing her stand-up routine and about 4 songs thrown in as well. It's a great treat to be able to see her show on video!

Review: I have seen this DVD perhaps 10 times since I bought it this past Christmastime and I'll probrably see it again tonight since I'm thinking about it. You have to be a Bernhard fan to really appreciate the sarcastic wit of hers and her take on society, politics and celebrities, albeit how it effects her in the world that she lives in. The fact that this HBO special filming of her night club act was filmed while she was very pregnant (I'm guessing 9-1/2 months by the shape of her physique) and wearing a rather see thru dress (due to club lighting), shows that she has absolutely no shame and we are all the better for it. Spending the hour just listening to her puts my miserable life into perspective (well at least for an hour anyway). Make sure you see the extras with her dozen or so (1 minute long) comments on different subjects and people (Mother Teresa and her house painter are favorites). She sings too! I loved the tribute to Giani Versace (a song on how the tragedy effected the lives and more importantly, the careers of the grieving supermodels left behind on the catwalk) and the cover of "Midnight train to Georgia" just brings a tear to my eye every time- who!! who!! Get the incense and bottle of vodka ready, and enjoy the sights and sounds of Miss Sandra Bernhard!

Review: I loved "Without You, I'm Nothing" so much I saw it three times. But once was enough for this garbage. This is Sandra at her absolute worst. She comes across as a foul-mouthed mean spirited... who thinks mocking prayer is the height of cleverness. This film is so unfunny as to be almost an art piece. To be honest, the out-takes are better than the DVD itself. Example: at one point, Sandra becomes irate that the audience isn't laughing enough. Um.....could it be because she wasn't even remotely funny?Don't even go there.

Summary: Wait for the outtakes
Review: Sandra Bernhard is a true original as far as stand-up comedy and performance art go, and it is unquestionable that at a certian moment in time she represented the absolute cutting-edge. Diehard Bernhard fans will be fiercely furious for suggesting so, but I think it's true her act doesn't wear so well as the years go by: her onstage persona's dripping contempt for everyone and everything is not as funny as it once was in 1990 or so (and can get more than a little tiresome), and, while she can sing decently, the numbers she performs are not always suited to her voice (she's not as strong a singer as she imagines). I began to get depressed while watching this video, and actually began to be really put off (for the first time) by the fact that her act is so much about ripping to pieces mostly women in her own chosen fields (comedy, music, fashion, and acting). While she at one point signals her awareness of this in her act (and blames the media for it), this doesn't seem to excuse her entirely. But after the formal show this video present outtakes from it, and she redeems herself utterly. Bernhard seems less soulless and monstrous (and much funnier) when she can give and take with an audience and break down the fourth wall, and there are some routines (especially one about Linda Evangelista fixing her watch) that are absolutely hilarious. I fastforwarded through the songs and even some of the bits of the main show, but I replayed the outtakes several times.
