Anyone remember him as "Chet" in "Weird Science"? Was that a kick ass role or what? I think I've seen that film in the triple digits.

I'm sure you look great in this shirt, Aspy. But what will your daughter say ? My kids don't watch Sesame Street. It's not cool anymore.

But as long as parents like it. Wrong world, isn't it ?

My Daughter actually asked if we could share said sweatshirt! Haha. She still likes Sesame Street and The Muppets, so I'm ok for a little while yet thankfully!
I think it is a wrong world....everyone should love the wonder that is the original Sesame Street!

Generally, I am not at all fond of horror comedies. But the special make-up effects are so darn good, this is one of the 3 or 4 exceptions. I even like Roddy McDowall in it!

House On Haunted Hill(1959)

that's a great movie, lamarr.

i viddied a clockwork orange earlier today.haven't watched it in some time....ah, the young malcolm.....makes you want to cheer on alex. many people were upset when the original (british) ending was not included in the film, but it's great. even after i finally read the original (in of all places, rolling stone) ending, which i enjoyed, i still liked the way kubrick kept alex as unrepentant and (except for some brain salad surgery) essentially unchanged. "oh yes, i was cured alright" had watched 2001 just the other night, and saw my copy of dr. strangelove on the bookshelf---might make this a kubrick weekend.

People are way too damned sensitive these days. We are raising our children to be a nation of nincompoops who think that rubber will cut them.



Not even Shaun of the Dead?



Mike Nelson of Mystery Science Theater 3000 has a very funny commentary for this over at RiffTrax.com. Basically, you can rent a video file with the "riff" attached to the film for a short period at a price of $3.99, but I suggest getting Legend Films' DVD. That way, you own the riff and a fantastic print of the film, and you don't have to watch the colorized version of the film for the commentary, because a black and white version is also included.

The Fall Of The House Of Usher 1960

I finally watched 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' for the first time today. I kept falling asleep but I made sure to take the whole movie in. (It took 3 tries.) There are some great moments in there, for sure. I especially liked the conversation between the two military guys after firing on the spaceships.

Simply a classic. If you like that then watch these, that's assuming you haven't already seen them...

"This mock rock opera is an all-singing, all-dancing, star-spangled musical leap around the biblical story of the Nativity, set in 1972. Written by Matt Berry (music) and Richard Ayoade, it was shown on TV at Christmas 2004 on BBC Three - Richard Ayoade also directed it - and has continued to attract a growing number of avid cult comedy fans every since."

"Live from his luxury apartment in London's glittering East End, Dean Learner--club owner, celebrity manager, restaurateur, entrepreneur and publisher of high-class gentlemen's magazines (including "Flesh Wrangler" and "Skin City")--invites you to meet some of his closest friends, Man to Man.* Dean's special guests include the living legend Garth Marenghi.."

"From the creators of FATHER TED and THE OFFICE comes the complete first and second series of THE IT CROWD, the popular British sitcom that’s taking the country by storm. Relegated to a dingy basement, Moss, Jen and Roy are their company’s last line of technological defence; they are the IT crowd"

Clips....have to watch these in order..

There are so many comedies that these blokes (Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry, Rich Fulcher, Juian Barratt, Chris Morris...and more) have been involved in or written. Sorry if you've already seen the ones I posted.
