High Strung is a 1991 American independent comedy film directed by Roger Nygard, created by Film Brigade International and produced by Vladimir Horunzhy and Sergei Zholobetsky. It stars Steve Oedekerk who also wrote the script with Robert Kuhn as Thane Furrows, an uptight childrens author who rarely leaves his house, eats only cereal, and is irritated by everything around him. It also stars Thomas F. Wilson, Fred Willard, Denise Crosby and Jim Carrey, and also contains a short cameo appearance by a young Kirsten Dunst.
The film centers around Thane Furrows, who spends the day messing around his apartment and complaining about a number of random subjects like among other things flies, popsicles, junk mail, his boss wife, his upstairs neighbor, smoking, salesmen, and philosophizes on a number of things such as the morality of eating humans and the sensibility of keeping pets.Furrows has a number of strange philosophies he wishes his childrens books to be instructive for the good of society, such as How to Start the Family Car in case someone chokes on a chicken bone and there are no adults around, and Bye Bye Grandma which he wants to help accustom children to death. He refuses to keep pets because he feels they would turn on you in a food shortage, choosing instead to keep a cardboard cutout of a dog named Pete. ........
