  1. My friend's brother also had the Body Count self-titled and Dre's Chronic on tape.* I still remember my bud coming to me and saying "do you know what marijuana is? Here it is" while showing me the picture on the inside of The Chronic. I did not even know what it was until he showed me. It was a naughty thing you shouldn't talk about, until you were fourteen. * Though the prick was still a racist who apparently, I was told, took something called 'painkillers' to avoid being hurt while he and his friends had a brawl with the local black kids at the only Hardees in our town. The friend wound up being a cop. Go figure.
  2. I didn't notice anything but I'm probably not the best person to be a judge. In any case, the shit was totally disturbing and horrific, in a way that I haven't felt since I was a child. I'll watch again and reevaluate.
  3. Okay, not only have I played Sisters of Mercy in my car today, I also got weighed and had my blood pressure taken yesterday! Thank god the weight machine was in a measurement that isn't basic pounds I can calculate; the blood pressure was "a little high"... and I'm already on two blood pressure meds. Wonderful. I also got a filling put in this morning; half my face could be sliced open and I wouldn't notice, which also means I can't eat anything until it goes away. *sigh* What a wonderful life we lead. Sir Mix-A-Lot was some of the first music I ever listened to with my best childhood friend, along with tapes he had from his brother of Salt N Pepa and -- get this -- 2 Life Crew's Banned in the USA. He also had the Trick or Treat soundtrack by Fastway and that probably did a whole lot to influence where I went after...
  4. Next up from Severin... oh yeah, baby
  5. Apocalypse is a straight-up zombie movie -- and I love it, too. It has one of the greatest lines in movie history. A smoke bomb flies into the supermarket that Johnny Radice has been shooting up and because him and John Saxon have mutual history in Vietnam to where that knowledge would be useful, he tells him "Just PISS on it!" AND HE DOES. AND IT WORKS. I mean, if you have John Saxon pissing on a smoke bomb in your film, you've already won, you know?
  6. Next in line from Severin... This is my favorite of the entire genre. Enjoy.
  7. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Tony was in The Crow, too
  8. There are a couple substitutions that could be made. Abdullah could maybe go in Magi. Flair could MAYBE take over Thesz. But I wouldn't do that. And somehow Vader, Takayama (who I originally had in Tenryu's place), or somebody like... fuck... Mocho Cota didn't make the 5 Faves list. But que sera, sera. Hell, I didn't even put in Kawada.
  9. Twisted to my approval. Thank you for completely and totally nailing Rushmore. EDIT: I would like to add a category and that is WRESTLER YOU WANT/WE NEED MORE FOOTAGE OF. This came up due to an earlier conversation with some friends about never having seen a Hurican Ramirez or Blue Demon Sr. match. Anyway, that answer for me is Johnny Valentine.
  10. The first confirmed Severin Black Friday title is
  11. Yep, that's it. Fuck I love that movie.
  12. https://tubitv.com/movies/463208/nameless-gangster NAMELESS GANGSTER: RULES OF THE TIME (2012) A clip of this has been playing on the Midnight Pulp channel on Dish over and over but they never play anything they promote, so I looked it up online. Sure enough the smiling guy with the glasses in it is Choi Min-sik, the lead in Oldboy and I Saw the Devil. I'm only halfway through but this is a fantastic mob potboiler about Choi climbing the ladder through the ranks of the Korean mafia, which apparently is structured like a "family ties" version of the Japanese yakuza. What strikes me is that Choi's character is very much like Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb/the Penguin. He basically fakes it until he makes it. He's a dumpy and put-upon looking older guy (he says he's "almost 40" which has to be a total lie) who sees he can fool someone into a scam, gains their allegiance, then finds another scam, they multiply and so does his status. He really has no standing but bullshits his way into it; he's always somebody's cousin-twice-removed or old friend and somehow it ends up true or it gets bought by the sucker he's trying to work. I really didn't expect there to be such a similarity but it's fantastic to watch unravel.
  13. The Blob remake definitely shows its closeness to the source material in how nostalgically stupid it is. They might as well have made it full retro and given it a Scorcese pop hits soundtrack. Just like the '50s audiences watched it for the silicone and red food dye gurgling through air vents though, you watch it for the super '80s practical effects which are damn near nightmare material. I bet a double feature of this with The Stuff makes it look soooooo, so dumb. (Guess who was originally attached to the second remake, btw? Mrs. Sherri Moon's ass' husband.) I should have done an extra review for Asylum but I think I'm tapped out. "It was a very good year..."
  14. I can't remember who he told that to; was it Pacino?
  15. Took a day for the ones I got to show up in the e-mail, but totally worth it
  16. As much as I believe that he of all wrestlers would have saved his money and put it into stocks and bonds and such, it might have dried up. Also, Vince is gone (for now...). How much does one make off a Legends contract, anyway? Just per-appearance paydays? Residuals in some way?
  17. I at the same time felt sympathy for him still because he belongs in Arkham, he belongs in a mental ward. He could have use as an extreme case study, like a super villain version of Edmund Kemper or something.
  18. My only question is how much of it stars "Rob Zombie's wife" or "Rob Zombie's wife's ass". By the way Rob... she doesn't have a great ass. She got a flat 'ol white girl ass. Now, ass is ass, but it's not special enough to show up that often.
  19. Oh ho ho, you most definitely can find a buyer.
  20. It ended exactly how it had to end. More than that the series as a whole did exactly what it should have done, and that's make the best fucking DC thing since The Dark Knight. This thing is gonna go down in history as one of the best TV miniseries ever. Hell, there aren't enough great miniseries out there, so people are just gonna compare it to great regular length TV series. I don't think that's hyperbole. It's a one-and-done and they're setting up for The Batman part 2, but...? Anyway. Enormous kudos to all involved. If anything good came out of this year you can mark it on a very short list.
  21. HBO recorded a doc with Paul Reubens talking about himself and his career before he passed. It's gonna be on sometime this year. If there's anything that legit makes me happy that's coming up it's this.
  22. I can't remember what his go-to curse word replacement is but De Palma says it a lot in that movie. It's rather quaint, like a grandmother trying not to say "shit" or "fuck".
  23. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBA4I4k9D_c&pp=ygUSdGhlIHNldmVyaW4gY2VsbGFy Jane Giles and Ali Catterall, co-directors of the new documentary SCALA!!! Or, the Incredibly Strange Rise and Fall of the World’s Wildest Cinema and How It Influenced a Mixed-up Generation of Weirdos and Misfits, visit the Severin Cellar. Features a tremendously disgusting anecdote about Donald Pleasance. I will never watch another Halloween film with him in it the same way again. Here's the trailer for Scala to boot! Us being collectors and cinema freaks I'm sure we'll all dig the hell out of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FthyF141zdU&ab_channel=SydneyUndergroundFilmFestival
  24. I think Daddy Magic or somebody said something about that, "there's so many factions now, it's like faction wars" and I was like "boy I'm not sure if the announcers should put it that on the nose".
