To me, I don't care which script is "better". I still wanna see Richard's
stuff because, to me, he's the one with the vision. Besides, as you point
out, his music is far better and, since it _is_ a musical, that's the most
important thing. I mean, when you buy the soundtrack, it's just got the
music, right?

Someone asked me if the alleged rumors of the third movie weren't actually
just leftovers from the making of the "second" movie "Shock Treament."
So I racked my memory for what details I could provide.

First off, the supposed talks at Fox about a third movie only began in 1991
while "Shock Treatment" came out in... um... before that sometime.

Okay, synopses... please forgive me if I confuse the titles as I'm only
about 90% sure on these.


"Til Death Do Us Part"
by a hack writer at Fox (NOT Richard)
The film would pick up where the first left off, following Riff and Magenta
back to their home planet where they are instructed to return to Earth to
complete their mission with their new leader, Dr. Frank N Furter Jr.
Meanwhile, Brad and Janet are on their anniversary and, guess what, they
get a flat again. New castle, new monster, same old plot (as if the first
time wasn't bland enough they gotta run it through again?)


"Revenge of the Old Queen"
by Richard O'Brien
This one also picks up where the first left off but instead by following
FBI Agent Steve Majors (brother of Brad) as he follows Brad and Janet
in their adventures through the Transvestite Underground. Sorry, I don't
know any more details.


Apparently, the studio preferred TDDUP because they figured that a carbon
copy of the first movie would have the same cult appeal as the first.
On the other hand, they were listening to the fans and the fans seemed to
prefer RotOQ, probably mostly out of an allegiance to Richard.

By the way, I read all this in a post here about a year ago.
If this is archived somewhere, maybe someone could dig it up and re-post it?

Of course it's incoherent...it's in Swedish...:)

Seriously, get yourself a copy with decent subtitles. This film is 
beautiful, disturbing, wonderfully acted, anything but incoherent....
It's a serious film about coming to terms with your own mortality
and fighting to stay sane in the face of overwhelming futility.
I didn't have any problems understanding it.

A few weeks ago Eric Walker asked if others would like to see a movie based on

And Aidan (sp?) Quinn would be perfect as Elric. He looks so much like him anyway
he'd hardly even need make-up. Any other suggestions for cast or crew?

Not that I know of. I think you can get it subtitled on VHS in the UK,
but then the tape would be PAL and wouldn't work on US televisions.
I'm not sure if you can get it subtitled on tape in the US.

You must have seen the Criterion edition that just came out. Even though it
isn't subtitled, it does have the full Japanese audio on the analog tracks.
Once you get a feel for what's going on, you can always switch over to
the Japanese voices. Unfortunately the disc is not closed captioned, for
in that case at least there'd be pseudo-subtitles if you had a decoder.

IMO the Japanese audio is FAR superior to the American audio. The voices
are worlds above the US voices, and even the music sounds like it has
better stereo separation. I noticed that the bilingual audio was also
present during the storyboard/film comparision in the supplements.

Funny, but I have a tape by a Noise band called "Caroliner Rainbow"...
Y'aren't connected with them are ya? The tape is the "Rear end Hernia
Puppetshow"

Sounds like the "Prey" segment of "Trilogy Of Terror" with Karen Black,
to me. The little doll with the knife and the silver chain that kept
the demon from bringing it to life.
This the one?

Here in the UK we have enormous censorship, which means we are not
allowed to watch these cannibal films.  The guy in charge of the
British Board of Film Censors recently said in an interview 
that he thought there were several films he didn't think anyone in
a civilised society should be allowed to watch.  (No doubt many would
question whether a civilised society should let a small group of
people decide what the population can or cannot watch in the privacy
of their own homes)

Kim Newman in his excellent book "Nightmare Movies" (which I
would highly recommend) - in the chapter entitled "cannibal
zombie gut-crunchers") describes Cannibal Holocaust as the
"definitive cannibal movie and an auto-critique of the genre".

KN says he thinks Cannibal Ferox is much worse:

WARNING: GUT-CRUNCHING SPOILERS COMING UP:
PRESS 'n' IF YOU ARE OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION OR HAVE JUST EATEN.

"Umberto Lenzi takes the form about as far as it can go in the
direction of gratuitous violence in his notoriously sickening
Cannibal ferox (1980).  This is a South American jungle
travelogue enlivened by convincing scenes in which a cannibal
hacks off a penis and eats it, a woman is hung from meat-hooks
in her breats, an eye is fished out with a knife, the villain's
skull is sliced like a breakfast egg so his brains can be
scooped out and eaten, human entrails are ripped out and
consumed, and stock footage animals eat each other for real.
...
Lenzi simply doesn't know where to stop, and as a result
Cannibal Ferox is the nastiest of the nasties, not least for
its willingness (shared with many Italian films) to slaughter
animals for real on camera because it's cheaper than staging
special effects."

Recently saw an interesting film, if only for its idea. Wish I
could remember the title.

Anyways, the movie takes place in post-WWII San Francisco or Los Angeles.
In this universe, magic is in common usage, for everything from cooking a
roast to forensic invenstigations. The story centers around a private
detective called H.P. Lovecraft, who refuses to use magic.  He's hired by
a really rich type to find a book that was stolen from his library. The
book, of course, is the Necronomicon. 

Anybody else see this movie?

As an aside, I recently found a number of copies of the book at Coles Books.
They, of course, had it listed under religion. :-)

my vote for _Film Quarterly_; it's out of U of Cal, and, while it 
occasionally evidences some of the pretention that scholarly writing
