Not seriously at all is what I would take anything Aki says. He once destroyed
an interviewer here on German TV, when she asked him what would make his films
special or different from others.
He replied: My latest film is the worst film I have ever seen. Except for the
ones I did before.
Then the interviewer asked: So , you think, the exceptional thing about your
films is that they are bad?
He said: NO!!! My films are great! Do you want to insult me?

Ah, c'mon, Curt, you said you liked it when we left... =B->

Really, though, there are some good moments. Toward the end he
describes an experience in playing the Stage Manager in
Thornton Wilder's _Our Town_ that still makes me laugh when I
think about it.

I agree it's not as good overall as STC, but if you like
Spaulding Gray, give it a shot.

Hi folks,

 I saw the other night a German movie called Necromantic - a rather
gross story involving, among other stuff, necrophilia. It's directed
by a guy called Jorg Buttgereit. Could anybody give me more

Well, I just saw it again and guess what? This time I remember the name of
the director. It is (or he is) Etienne Chatiliez with proper accents added.
Tatie Daniele is probably the most vicious film ever to come out of France,
maybe Europe. The first time I saw it I laughed. This time I didn't, I was
just amazed at the viciousness this old woman is capable of...

The first one is "The Creeping Unknown", the first of the "Quatermass" 
films, from Britain (Prof. Quatermass is the lead character in each).  
The last one sounds like "Enemy from Space" which is the second film 
in the Quatermass series.

A movie scene that scared me when I was a little kid was one from 
"Fiend Without a Face".  There's a scene where the townspeople are 
having a meeting and they hear the moan/scream of a man who has 
been attacked by one of the "fiends".  His moans were terrifying 
to me as a kid, and his terrified and frozen face looked compellingly 
odd to me and that was frightening, too.

I've seen the movie recently and I am convinced the man playing the 
victim (a bit part) was cast precisely because his face doesn't 
look quite normal (nose slightly out of place or something subtle like 
that which you don't realize right away)

If you like 50's B&W sci-fi, and don't mind a little ketchup with 
your alien brains, I recommend this movie.  It starts slow, but 
has an action-filled climax.

     AAARRGH!  Perfectly good anime, ruined by someone or other in
translation to live action.  I'd been waiting for it since I first
heard it was in production, found a GIF somewhere from the movie, etc. 
It looked promising, at least from a technical standpoint.  Walked
into a video place one day, saw it on the "new releases" shelf and
grabbed it.  Wanted my money back.  The truly horrible thing is, it's
almost always rented out.  People must be desperate for new stuff.

How about Roger Vadim's Blood and Roses, supposedly a movie version
of the great short story Carmilla?  It's no great shakes, but it is
on tape from Paramount for under 10 bucks, though it is apparently
a chopped-up American version.
