[Well, I did order The Deadly Spawn from Amazon. Can’t wait to check it out.

I want to start a Deadly Spawn squadron. It would be an elite branch of the Cinema Diabolica Legion who use alien tadpole monsters as weapons.

I’ve already drawn up blueprints for a Spawn-O-Matic. With luck, we should be able to launch Deadly Spawn up to 50 feet.

Can you imagine?

Ohhhhhh no you’re not getting off that easy.

*AHEM*

HEEEEY! Welcome to the forums! Whats your name? where ya from?

Eh I’m just gonna make an introductions thread and sticky it at the top.

Hey my name is Dan and I’m from Michigan. Just found the show last week and I love it. Keep it up.

Keep what up? I have a hard enough time with the mic crane. I can only do so much balancing.

Watched Riccardo Freda’s trashy giallo Murder Obsession.  It stars eurocult lovelies Silvia Dionisio, Anita Strindberg, and Laura Gemser.  Nothing really new or exciting about this late-entry into giallo cinema (1981) but it was fun.  I’d rate it about a five or six.
Also saw Paul Naschy in Horror Rises from the Tomb.  I’ve been loving these remasters that BCI/Deimos have been putting out of Spanish horror classics.  Naschy’s films are really akin to classic monster movies and the plots are similar--this one is about two couples who visit a countryside villa to explore a villanous ancestor’s old grave.  High on atmospheric horror but also has copious amounts of nudity and violence which the 70s genre cinema was quite known for.  About a six or seven, in my opinion.

Oooh Naschy, quality.

Check this out.

That’s one of those multi-movie packs. and it has:

Horror Rises from the Tomb

Zombie Flesh Eaters which is ACTUALLY a film from the blind dead series called The Ghost Galleon

Zombie Hell House which is ACTUALLY a Lucio Fulci film called House by the Cemetery

Night of the Ghoul which is… a movie with John Hurt and Peter Cushing.. I dunno

BUT IT’S FOR SALE NEW FOR UNDER FIVE BUCKS!

YAY!

That’s one we used to pick up off the shelf every time we went into the mom and pop video shop down when I lived in the South Bay, but could never bring ourselves to rent. The picture on the cover was quite compelling though. One time I remember we put it down and brought home La Cage a Zombie, which was ... traumatic. Probably more so than a condom with teeth.

Will that be on the Burning Man gang side of the bay or the Wangsters gang side?

West-siiiiide! *throwing up sp00ky gang signs* actually I can spell out the word ‘blood’ with my fingers.
I am cooler than government cheese.

One of the most entertaining things about it is seeing how low-budget German filmmakers view Americans. Our hero, the hard-bitten (HA! BITTEN!) cop is named Luigi Macaroni. And in the first few minutes of the movie, he’s insulting a simple farm couple from ... wait for it ... Farmville, Oklahoma. And the police captain’s office has a Red Sox banner in it, even though the movie is set in New York. Not that New York police captains can’t be Red Sox fans, but I doubt that’s what the filmmakers were going for.

Damned Germans.

Right now I’m viewing this.

OMG sweetest engagement ring evah!

unfortunately I don’t have much to add to this thread as the missus and I are moving into our new house later on in the week, but I did watch 30 minutes of Battlefield earth. Before I get stoned by the villagers, let me explain: I was perusing my wife’s Uncle’s DVD collection and noticed he had some pretty good stuff(a bunch of Carpenter, some Shaw brothers, and miscellaneous sci-fi) so we got talking shop and he tells me he has a movie that he just knows I will LOVE. So, being the curious cat I am, I inquire further, and he tells me it’s Battlefield f*cking earth. Now, I’ll be the first to admit I’m an elitist film snob and loathe most people solely based on the hollywood shit they consume, while shunning foreign/indie/genre film like a red-headed stepchild. With that being said, I’m a cliched polite Canadian, and couldn’t tell him all of the cinematic goodwill he built up is very quickly getting flushed down the toilet, and that Battlefield Earth is widely considered to be the worst smurfin movie ever made, so I took it and played it off like I was compelled. Flash forward to a few days later and I have 30 minutes to kill before bed, the NFL network is down, so I decide to put this film in the ol’ dvd player… Wow… I have never seen such inept filmmaking on all levels before. I dunno what Barry Pepper was thinking when he signed on for this, Forrest Whitaker looked like the smurfin cowardly lion, for a movie that new, I could’ve used lego and play-doh to create more mind blowing special effects.. I laughed out loud at least 10 times in 30 minutes. I KNEW this movie was going to be bad, but good God, I cannot believe this got the go ahead to be released by a major studio…
