I know, I know, I'm five! ;D This is my bed at college:   Above it is "the wall of sex," but no one needs to see that. ;D Now I've got orders from the young'un to get some Princess bedding just like that for her room! Well, OK, but she better not have a "wall of sex" until she's about 30!  |

Eyesbleed, that's adorable! ;D CocanutFudge, I'm staring at pink walls so I can't criticize, and my "wall of sex" is under the bed. That's an interesting place to keep innocent pictures of attractive celebrities! Oh.. ohhhhhh.... OHHHHHHHH! I get it. ;D |

Returning to the original topic - I watched Truman Show again a few minutes ago and I was stunned. Simply brilliant. I don't understand, how it didn't get the Oscar. The last 30 minutes were one of the best in the history of films.

Apocalypse Now
Mulholland Drive (a symbolic masterpiece fusing reality with dreams)
Eyes Wide Shut (stan's reality revelation)
The Shining

2001
Dawn Of The Dead (classic satire imo...one of the best)
Glenngary Glen Ross
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (i could listen to Burton reading the telephone directory tbh)

I forgot
Corn Dog Man one of the one liners "quicker than a cat can lick his ass" or something like that.
and the tagline is "Every dog has its day"
Noble Willingham stars as Ace Barker, a duplicitous redneck whose ugly past starts to catch up with him in The Corndog Man. Ace is a boat salesman, and one of the best in his part of South Carolina. One day, he gets a phone call from someone who claims to be in the market for a boat, but before long it's obvious that this caller isn't interested in a day on the water and actually harbors ill will against Ace. It seems that despite his salesman's exterior, Barker is a vicious coward with a racist streak, and he turned his back on a black friend who needed help while in the Army. Barker's new stalker isn't about to let him forget this -- and he also knows about a few of Barker's more recent sexual indiscretions. Ace's nemesis is played by Jim Holmes, who also co-wrote the script with Andrew Shea (who also directed) and David Steen. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I don't understand why Stephen King didn't like Kubrick's The Shining. Out of all the King books turned into movies the Shining is the only one that continues to scare the hell out of me. Christine was pretty good though, but I don't it would scare me as much as the Shining. It works so well because you really get a sense of the loneliness in such a large environment. When I hear that Big Wheel on the carpet......

I just finished watching the Kill Bill movies for like.. I dunno - maybe the second time since I first saw them. Now, I reckon QT is a bit over-rated these days, but KB2 is one of those films that really really kicks ass - but only so long as you don't watch it perhaps more than once every few years... and I fookin luurrrrved Gordon Liu as Pei Mei... and the romantic humanizing of utterly ruthless killers - even my stone-cold ice-heart thawed a little towards the end :') ahh... time for bed now. Seriously - wtf?? I feel like I've dropped a whole bunch of MDMA. Films don't usually affect me this much  |

When I hear that Big Wheel on the carpet...... King has talked about this, and the big issue seems to be that Kubrick didn't get that the hotel was evil, Jack went mad for no discernible reason, other than the isolation perhaps. I knew pretty early into the movie that it bore no resemblance to the book in a core manner, but having said that, the movie was amazing, yes. King's books don't translate to the big screen properly oftentimes, with the exception of the non horror ones like Dolores Claiborne and Shawshank Redemption. And, who could forget the opening minutes of The Stand, to the tune of 'Don't Fear The Reaper'? |

Or maybe it was that phonecall from Stanley, in the early hours of the morning (King's time), where he asked King if he believed in 'God'....King said 'yes' and Stanley said 'interesting'.... and then hung up.
;D

Another movie I always liked: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.
Ellen Burstyn plays a woman whose husband dies in a auto accident, and decides to pursue her dream of becoming a singer/piano player in Monterey.
I guess I always liked this movie because it turned me on to Mott The Hoople, and had a good soundtrack in general.
Everyone told me the kid in the movie looked like me, and had a similar personality.. I watched it and thought the kid was nerdy, and rather an obnoxious know it all.. What were they trying to say?? ;D

Oh man, I forgot Frankenhooker! How could I omit Frankenhooker from my list? from IMDB.com................. Frankenhooker is without a doubt one of the most stupid, ridiculous, moronic, pointless, fun and brilliant films that I have seen. From the film's opening; which sees our would-be hero working on a strange brain with an eye in it, with some ridiculously out of place, relaxed suburbia music playing in the background; I knew that I was in for a comic treat. This movie features several moments of delicious comic brilliance; such as the out of control lawnmower sequence that sees the central character's girlfriend get tragically murdered, to the rather tactless news report detailing said tragedy, to the exploding whores and all the way down to the weather report which details a storm that is coming, "for all you mad scientists out there"; there's plenty to make you laugh in Frankenhooker. The film takes obvious influence from the classic Frankenstein story, and it should appeal to anyone that is a fan of cheesy 80's gorefests. Of course, this was released in 1990, but that's incidental. As mentioned, the main character's girlfriend is killed in a lawnmower accident. The accident itself is a comic masterpiece; it's so absurdly silly! Anyway, this accident leads our hero to the brink of madness (to which his mother responds to by asking him if he would like a sandwich), and he decides to make his girlfriend a new body from the parts of various prostitutes that he picks up. Of course, it doesn't quite go to plan, which leads him into all manner of weird troubles. James Lorinz takes the lead role of Jeffrey Franken (and his girlfriend's surname is Shelly...can you spot the tribute?). Lorinz is great as the hero for the movie, he spends a lot of it acting on his own and he more than holds the audience's interest with his speeches and great accent. A film like this needs an offbeat star; and it has one in Lorinz. Overall, this terrifying tale of sluts and bolts is sheer comic brilliance, and if you're a fan of weird and wonderful cult films, and even if you're not; you won't want to miss Frankenhooker. I don't really have time for movies.... too long. With music playin' I can be workin' on somethin' else & not be tied to the screen. But a movie's in order occationally I'd much rather spend my time with the worst movies than the "best" "Offbeat ones too"? What else is there?? "The Creeping Terror" - a people eating monster that looks like a large roll of carpet & it moves so slow the victims have to stand still & wait so they can crawl into it's mouth.. I love the band in the highschool hop scene. They say Plan 9's the worst movie ever, but I beg to differ! "The Forbidden Zone" - A Richard Elfman film & Danny Elfman's 1st movie soundtrack... & It's one hell of a wacky soundtrack. It's a silly as hell B&W "art film" with Herve Villechaize. Great movie & one of my favorite cult classics. "200 Motels" Why the hell is this Zappa film not on dvd yet??? Where else ya gonna see Keith Moon as a drugged up nun, & Ringo playing Frank Zappa.! "Color Me Blood Red" - One of the H.G.Lewis early gore classics. A wacky artist painter discovers that human blood makes the most brilliant red paint anybody's ever seen.... & the fun begins! "Two Thousand Maniacs" - Another H.G.Lewis classic taking place in the deep south. "Fun in Acapulco" - My fave silly Elvis movie.... Elvis tryin' to sing like a Mexican... need I say more? "Batman The Movie" - the only Batman worth owning.... starring Burt Ward, Adam West, Ceasar Romero, Lee Merriweather, Burgess Meredith, & Frank Gorshin. "Dawn of the Dead" My fave of the George Romero series. Kill a gazziliion zombies in the mall... what could be more fun? "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed Up Zombies" - words cannot describe. The MST3K version can be found in Box set Volume 9 |

Wheatly ties in with Crowley and Gardener....Fleming too... through 'Intelligence' networks....SIS/MI5/MI6....and other occult activities. www.thewica.co.uk/MH1.htmFrom what I can recall....allegedly it was so called 'King of the Witches' Alex Sanders that intiated Roman Polanski & Sharon Tate into the craft....on the film set of Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers. Sanders (who allegedly received training from Crowley as a child) worked on another film in which Sharon Tate (this was her 1st role I think) starred as a 'witch' with the 'blood sacrifice' theme as a central part....the 'Eye of the Devil' also called '13'. |
