I've seen the trailer for Shocking Dark and it looked hilariously cheap; now I want to watch the rest of them. 

[Curt McGirt]

'80s Trailers for Mattei! This is all the non-horror stuff I could find. If you haven't seen the Strike Commando trailer yet, you haven't lived.

Women's Prison Massacre https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=667962407020249

There is so much gold in these. Double Target has some incredibly dangerous stunts and explosions that clearly nearly kill people. There's a helicopter explosion that is either a minature, the cleanest edit ever seen, or they somehow jerry-rigged an actual helicopter to fall out of the sky. White Apache has a white dude playing a Native yelling "White man die! Kill them, kill them all, kill them all! *runs up to camera* YES, DIE, WHITE PEOPLE!" Another immortal line is in Cop Game: "I'm gonna blow a hole in your fuckin' head, Barbie doll." While Robowar rips off Predator, Shocking Dark manages to rip off both Aliens AND The Terminator! And these things rip off actual scenes from the movies: Shocking Dark has the "Burke turns off the monitor" scene from Aliens and The Seven Magnificent Gladiators (with Hercules himself, Lou Ferrigno) has the sword-breaking from the final fight in Conan. (Golan-Globus funded that one, so an extra layer of '80s sleaze there.)

The only trailers that are NSFW are Scalps and, obviously, Caligula. And there are some nasty bits involving needles in Hanna D.

Hit the Full Moon sale

Got EUrocine Collection vol 1 and Babes behind bars dvd. 

 

[Brian Fowler]

Because I spend my money wisely, I now own a copy of the Christian classic C Me Dance on DVD and I cannot stress enough how much this is a one-star movie/billion star experience.

It's also on YouTube in terrible 360p with burnt in subtitles and I cannot recommend it highly enough, nor highly enough recommend going into as completely blind as humanely possible, and just letting it wash over you as it keeps going nowhere you expect.

Surprised Red Letter Media hasn't had this one in a video.

Although, I realize they don't focus on the low hanging fruit of Christsploitation as I'd like for them to do.

I spent many nights during my Catholic education stoned watching Pax or WLMB movies. 

The best Christploitation movie in my book is still Passion Of The Christ. It did everything that people thought every Grindhouse movie did, even if a lot of them kinda suck. My religion teacher didn't like me comparing it to Blood Feast when I was in high school.

Passion got a debate about "Good gore for kids" started at the comic shop when it was in theaters.

The Crippled Masters is the best dvd I ever bought from the dollar bin at Kroger in high school. It became a double feature with Riki-Oh for my buddy Steve and I.

Anyone else had trouble with the VS website?  Trying to reset password doesn't seem to do a thing and they owe me a pre-order that at this point I'm tempted to just cancel instead.  But I can't even log on due to the reset issues.

Watched it last night.
Big dumb and a bit fun. Feels like a live action bootleg Merrie Melody

[Curt McGirt]

Fuck yeah, Night Moves! 

EDIT: Don't read the Great Movie review of that by Ebert, because he says he won't give away the whole plot, then goes on to do so  Of course, the movie's end is so cryptic you won't be able to figure it all the way out anyway. Nobody ever has, I think.

Very down for Night Moves. Haven't watched it in well over a decade but I loved it.

Somehow Jury Duty with Pauly SHore and Tia Carrerre is OOP on DVD and Blu ray. Just dropped 25 bucks for a used Blu ray but it is missing the VHS look slipcase.

Why ain't there a big 5 film Weasel Grindage boxed set?

That definitely feels like a missed opportunity for Mill Creek.

Pam Anderson in the Criterion Closet. No, really.

She has the best taste of recent visitors to the Criterion Closet.

Spoiler

Ingmar Bergman in Cinema box set? Wanda? Abbas Kiarostami? Is she really One Of Us?

If she tapped into her cinephile fandom earlier on, her career would have looked a lot different.

[Curt McGirt]

That gets to me (the video). She spent all this time in the public eye, for all this bullshit; Playboy and a marriage to a rock star and a sex tape and a bullshit cheesecake TV show, when she is really fucking smart and would probably 100% have rather been working in art films and microbudget indies instead of caught in the vortex of '90s pop culture. And who knows if she would have had the opportunity to do that at all? It's like the era just sucked her up and put her on a pedestal before she could react. People from legit projects probably would have heard her name and just stuck their nose up in the air, too. 

I guess I'm just glad she's finally getting a chance to do what she wants, in a film that looks pretty damn good. It's not like Jenny McCarthy is doing that -- she's just crazy now.

That Bergman box set is probably the best thing in my collection.

Pam has always been big on animal treatment. And maybe the environment too? i don't remember for sure.

also, the cartoon Striperella (she is the voice of the main character) doesn't get enough credit. It's great.

[jaedmc]

She was always too funny to be as dumb as people thought.
