God I'm tired of punks and Johnny Rotten/Lydon hating conservative people (funny how that changed later) - on with the cult stranglers of Kali!



One of the most original Hammer films, released in 1959 with british bust icon Marie Devereux, worthy of any Russ Meyer flick. Woke kids might find this racist AF.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Lux Interior paintings of 1965

Yeah, wine drinking b-movie loving vegans, Lux & Ivy are the american couple for me and their 2½ hour long show (Janes Addiction cancelled in the last minute) at Reading Festival in 1990 is my # 1 gig of all time ... and I'm a metalhead (unlike Metallica, Venom and Slayer, Cramps haven't released one bad album). I'm even more impressed with their knowledge of vintage american exploitation howlers being a hopeless film nerd, I recall that Michael Weldon sometimes wrote in the b-movie bible Psychotronic Film/Video "this film is so obscure only Lux Interior has seen it" ... and apparently Lux was a cool painter in the 60s as well, a true Renaissance Man, his kind doesn't exist anymore in this bloated social media cesspool joke of a world.

A little while ago I binged on 'Brand New Cherry Flavor' (Nick Antosca, Lenore Zion, 2021), which was interesting enough to keep my attention and keep me pulled in, which these days has not been easy (has anyone else noticed the effects the last couple years have taken on the ol' attention span?). There were some references to good films and film-makers in here, and the whole thing takes place in Hollywood and is all about film-making, and yet unlike a lot of current horror, didn't feel overly pastiche-based or too too meta. The major complaint I have in that area was that it took place in the 90's, but didn't really seem to need to. It could just as well have taken place now, just throw in some cell phones or something. Still, it was a lot better than 'Stranger Things' as far as nostalgia-trip Netflix horror series go. Plenty of witchcraft, body horror, supernatural weirdness, and really well-rounded characters, all very flawed and fucked up, and a very crush-worthy lead in Rosa Salazar.

Enjoyed this batshit crazy freakshow that went from (somewhat) subtle Lynch weirdness to full-blown Cronenberg bodyhorror insanity mixed with psychedelic voodoo/zombie mindfuckery that was almost too much in the end. But I was really entertained by the 8 episodes and ate it up and the lead actress was excellent, would like to see her in other projects. Although Rosa Salazar don't have to vomit up more kittens, please. Checked her and the creator of the series, they haven't really done anything that impressed me much so its cool 'Brand New Cherry Flavor' brought out the best in them.




A zombie wearing a Nazi SS uniform terrorizes the French countryside in 1986. Truly one of the worst and most retarded horror movies ever made. Think its shot on 16 mm but this nutty pile of steaming shit more looks like cheap SOV. Great fun and thankfully only 73 mins long.



More shit, my first Megan Fox movie. Pretty forgettable gloss succubus-horror/comedy stuff with a terrible emo-rock soundtrack. Tight bod on Fox though, OMG.



Unique very original sexually charged Mexican WTF? sci-fi shocker, very strange and wonderfully adult drama with hints to Zulawski's Possession



Fascinating docu on the making of the dismal Ghost in the Noonday Sun by the director of The Ruling Class, Sellers was a sad mess



Rock solid 70's police thriller based on William Arthur Clark's non-fiction book “The Girl on the Volkswagen Floor” with a Lalo Schifrin score



Topnotch b&w Sellers comedy



Great lightheaded fun

vampires kiss is an all time classic

Also Cage's favorite film and to my knowledge the only one he ever did a dvd audio commentary for, that movie is crazy good!

There's a new (meta) feature on the way that sounds a bit like Being John Malkovich called The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. The trailer is from 2020 but it will premiere next year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ7Ls6uYcYM

X-rated Harry Novak sleaze insanity disquised as a police thriller, truly demented gutter trash. A cross-dressing serial killer/rapist (worst actor ever!) in drag beats a woman to death before the opening credits start rolling. Uncut version blu-ray out on Severin.

Nice rewatch of this cool hour long BBC docu on Beefheart. I'm old but sadly not old enough to have seen Beefheart live, but I saw The Magic Band 10 years back with Drumbo singing, pretty good gig.



Unique semi-dull drama/docu about NYC art/music underground scene 1981 with  Jean-Michel Basquiat, Tav Falco, Amos Poe, Debbie Harry, Chris Stein etc. and music by DNA, James Chance, Plastics, the Lounge Lizards, Tuxedomoon, Lydia Lunch...



Probably Casper Noe's worst movie, boring art porn nonsense (134 mins!) with some scenes shot in 3D. Watch I Stand Alone, Enter The Void or Irreversible instead of this self-indulgent melodrama.



Another silent masterpiece from the director of  The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

That was his 4th marriage I think (Vegas booze binge, lasted 4 days), he's on his 5th now, no idea how thats going. Was a huge fan of his in the 80s then after Leaving Las Vegas in the 90s I didn't care for him and his choices of movies - Face/Off doesn't hold up today - until Mandy (2018) ... thats 25 years? Glad he's back although I didn't care much for Willy's Wonderland (too silly) or Prisoners Of Ghostland (too messy and too wannabe cultmovie-ish). He also waste a lot of cash on buying weird crap impulsive. I like him despite all that, as along I get ONE good movie a year (he makes like 4-5). Good ol' Cage, we need manic nutjobs like him in Hollywood.

Too bad he didn't have any kids with Elvis' daughter. His son Weston has been in two black metal bands.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Melvin Van Peebles, ‘Sweet Sweetback’s Baadassss Song’ Director, Dead at 89

« on: September 24, 2021, 11:32:01 PM »

RIP sweet badass. His kid was big in the 90's, right? Either as a director or an actor? Sorry, too lazy to look it up.

Yeah kinda, Mario Van Peebles made New Jack City with Ice-T in 1991, was in a Highlander sequel and made films on Black Panthers and his dad. The most cut scene in Sweet Baadasss prints is the one where a 8-9 old year Mario has sex with a prostitute. The Peebles story is probably more interesting than the actual movies, but for future black filmmakers Melvin is rightfully a huge icon/idol and an american treasure IMO.

'Rated X by an All-White Jury' is the best goddamn tagline of any movie I've seen!

80's slasher schlock insanity - made for $90,000 - with Patty Mullen of Frankenhooker and Kristin Davis of Sex and the City. Stupid as hell but at 77 mins its pretty entertaining despite lotsa public domain footage of older horrorfilms inserted into the trainwreck of a movie



This dark political satire / black comedy / anarchist musical is probably my fave Peter O'Toole film along with The Stuntman, Bunuel meets Monty Python & Ken Russell? A bonafide comic masterpiece by director of Negatives, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, The Changeling & Zorry, the Gay Blade



Creepy dark-as-fuck claustrophobic misogynistic and unusual (for Sellers) "comedy" drama about a businessman who blackmails his young secretary into spending a weekend with him. The film is an adaptation of the novel Shall I Eat You Now? by Ernest Gébler, based on a television play Gébler had written in 1967 and starred Donald Pleasence. The ending is pretty twisted. Sellers tried to have all prints of this rare british feature destroyed.



Pretty wild docu on "black horror cinema" and much more, didn't think this "genre" could make up a full docu but I was proving wrong. Bits on Blacula, Ganja & Hess, Abby, Sugar Hill, Night Of The Living Dead, The People Under the Stairs, Tales from the Hood, Attack the Block, Girl with All The Gifts, Candyman, Get Out etc.
