Hi everybody:

I wrote to the r.a.movies group for some suggestions about "weird"
movies that create a world that is a bit (or quite a bit) off center.
I'm looking for the non-conventional, but not the artsy and overly
pretentious type. I've gotten some very good suggestions.  Since many of the 
movies in the list I have so far are cult, I was wondering if anyone on this
group could add to it.  Appreciate it,

Ahmed

The List:

	1984
	A Clockwork Orange
	Apocalypse Now
        Bagdad Cafe
	Barton Fink
	Blade Runner
        Blue Velvet
	Brave New World
        Brazil
        The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
	Dracula
	Hyunsuk Seung
	Kafka
	LA Story
        Lionheart
	Naked Lunch
	Night on Earth
	Poison 
	Repo Man
	Rumble (sp??) Fish from Coppola...
	Santa Sangre
	Shakes the Clown

I was just browsing through alt.cult-movies and saw a couple of posts
re: Firesign Theater. I remembered that buried in my stack of 60s
rock 'n roll are a couple FST albums (vinyl--what *is* a cd, anyway?).

I would be happy to sell these, if anyone is interested. (I hope I haven't
breached netiquette by proposing such a thing, but it would seem these
might get lost in the shuffle in the general forsale newsgroups.)

Please e-mail me with your offer. On or shortly after Jan 15th I will
e-mail the person who makes the best offer my USPS address.

The albums are both on the Columbia label and are:

     All Hail (Grouch Marx/John Lennon): How Can you Be Two Places at
     Once when You're Not Anywhere at All (stereo; can't find copyright date)

       Includes:
         Side A:  Drink to Me Only with Thine Fox
                  The Policeman's Brawl
                  Yankee Doodle Came to Terms
                  Uber Dubbing Over Alice
                  You Ain't Got No Friends on the Left
                  "We're Bringing the War Back Home"
                  
         Side A+: The Further Adventures of Nick Danger
     
     The Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra (mono; copyright 1974)

       Includes:
         Side 1: PART I--London
                 Chapter 1--Not Quite the Solution He Expected
                 Chapter 2--An Outrageously Disgusting Disquise
                 Chapter 3--Where There's Smoke, There's Work
                 PART II--Chicago
                 Chapter 4--Where Did Jonas Go?
                 Chapter 5--Pickles Down the Rat Hole!
                 Chapter 6--The Electrician Exposes Himself

Both records are unscratched; jackets show the usual wear of being shuffled
around with other albums for almost 20 years, but no writing or tears or
other disfigurements.

No - No - No:  Mortimer was played by Cary Grant.  His brother "Teddy" was
a different character.  The evil brother (Jonathan?) was played by
Raymond Massey in the movie; Peter Lorre was his plastic surgeon/assistant.
His partial resemblance to Karloff was mentioned in the movie because
Karloff played the evil Jonathan on Broadway. (I think...)

Actually, "A Long Ray's Journey Into Light" was done pre-Pixar... on
the old Apollo computer system. If my membry(sic) serves me correctly,
it was one of the first ever computer animations produced, taking
"hundreds of thousands of simulated man-hours" to render the full
piece.

Of course, my membry is a little hazy on this information... it's been

The videos are going to be released on a new video label created by 
BOOKS NIPPON, the chain of Japanese bookstores that has already released
a few Japanese animated titles on VHS on its US RENDITIONS label.

Each tape will cost $14.95, and contain one episode.

The first two will be out at the end of February. One new tape will be
released each month after then.

Only 3,000 copies of each tape are going to be produced.

the whole idea of him meeting himself is basically the fact that he has gone
(to steal from the Last Star Fighter) the next dimension.
it really shows the evolution of man (using BOWMAN as and e.g) from the point
at where he is to the starbaby. at least thats what i got from it.

None of the music you are looking for has been published. 

What has been published, however, is the music to some of Akira
Ifukube's (he wrote the scores to many of the Godzilla films)
orchestral pieces, such as the SYMPHONIA TAPKAARA.

A couple of weeks ago a asked if somebody could help me finding a PAL-video-copy of David Lynch`s most recent TV-series: On The Air !
Somebody answered that it`s gonna start on Finish TV pretty soon !

Two questions:

Does the Finish TV use subtitles in cases like this or do they dub the film ?

Could somebody tape it for me ??? I will, of course, pay the tapes and the postage and would be grateful till the end of my days !!!!!


And, of course, I`m still looking for a copy of David Lynch`s first short movie:THE ALPHABETH !

By the way, for all the folks out there that are interestet in D.L.`s work:

Here in Germany they published a very interesting and surprisingly complete book on D.L.   As far as I know it`s the first book ever that is about D.L. only !
If someone is interestedt in this, I could give name and international number (for orders), but I don`t have it with me right now.... 


P.S. Yes, I know that I spelled "interested" the wrong way twice, but I can`t handle this editor very well.........

GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE was released on VHS tape by HBO Video on Dec. 9th.

For some reason, it is very difficult to find for sale, but just about

yeah, guys and gals...

i am a fan of such movies but have yet to see any (!!). i know it sounds
impossible but its true. Here, censorship is really heavy and good films
(cult flicks incl.) never make it here illegally. Can you imagine AKIRA
banned here ??? That bad really....

Anyway, i just need you ppl's help to name 10-20 of your favourite cult
movies (i prefer graphic stuffs with lotsa gore and special effects not
too mention loads of violence too). With your lists, i will know what
movies to look out for and hopefully i can somehow get my hands on some

 Last week, it was announced by TriStar that the producers of the upcoming
American Godzilla film will be Cary Woods and Rob Fried. While these two
young producers haven't done anything big yet, they will be wrapping up two
projects before Godzilla, each of which is given high expectations by
TriStar. The first film will be released later this. It is called "So I
Married an Axe Murderer" and will star Sharon Stone. The other film is
"Rudy", about Notre Dame football.
 Production on TriStar's Godzilla will begin this fall.

I love it.  The trailer contains the following lines:

  raise the banners....[shot of banners being raised going into battle]
   and drop the Oldsmobile."  [shot from ED2 of Ash & car falling from the sky]

The last one was called Tin Toy, and I believe was done using Macintosh
computers. I remember seeing a lot of stills from that one in the

 To my knowledge, Mortimer (played by Raymond Massey in the movie) is
 the only ex-con in AaOL. 

 Perhaps you are referring to "Teddy" played by Edward E. Hortenor? I
 don't believe Teddy was an ex-con (merely a nutbar). 

 Or, perhaps, Peter Lorre (playing the plastic surgeon) who's character
 name escapes me at the moment.

 BTW did you know that Boris Karloff played Mortimer in the Broadway
 version (hence the gag about Mortimer resembling Boris Karloff)? Must
 have brought the house down!

Here is a text from the comp.graphics FAQ article.
Also, they are soon releasing a videodisc (laserdisc)
with animations -- I don't know details.
Pixar people are reading comp.graphics.animation, so I'm
sure they will announce the availability of the disc there.
