I am still converting to CD, so forgive this gaffe. I always found it 
easier to find the london version on album, and have no idea of it's
availability on any other format. I have two copies of the London on LP, and I 
have never seen an album of the movie. Weird!

A question for those of you with encyclopaedic knowledge of D.
Argento.

I just watched Suspiria again and I got to thinking about the films
aesthetics.  In many ways it echoes the aspirations of certain
avant-garde art movements such as Dadaism and Surrealism...the
aesthetic shock to the viewer.  I was wondering if Argento has ever
made mention of Luis Bunuel or one of his cohort.  Certainly, the
connection does not have to be intentional.  Afterall, I doubt that
D.H.C. Potter had read or seen any Brecht before he made
_Hellzapoppin_.  Just being curious...

Did anyone see Entertainment Tonight's coverage of Hollywood sex
scandals following the 'Woody and Mia' show.  You guessed it Polanski
came up.  It was brief but it recounted the case as it has come to
established in the news group.  However... no mention of Nastassia
Kinski being the young woman envolved.  It seems to me that had it
been Kinski, ET would definately have mentioned it.  Or is there some
law which prevents their naming the woman?

	Yeah, I rented it recently!  It is under the name 'The Crazies',
and has a picture of one of the guys in the white radiation suits on the
cover.  It is definitely a Romero film!  I thought it was great, but never
had heard anything about it before I rented it.  Same with Martin.  It's
not the best filmmaking, but like you said it is a good time!

it available on video?

After the "Solaris" disaster, I'm sure all of you will think twice
before coming along on another of these expeditions, but:

The Rice Program Council is sponsoring a free sneak preview of the new
techno-thriller "Sneakers" at the Rice Media Center on Thursday,
September 10th.  The newspaper claims it's at 8:00 but somebody at the
RPC office said 7:00, so watch for posters or call the RPC at 527-4839
to be sure.  It's free and first-come-first-served.  The Rice Media
Center is located at entrance 8 off of University Blvd.

I've seen the trailers for "Sneakers" and can't tell if it's good, bad,
or Bad.  The plot concerns a bunch of computer security consultants who
get blackmailed into doing something underhanded for a government
agency.  Here's what Steve Jackson had to say about it after the
EFF-Austin preview:

I'm reasonably sure -- uh oh, gonna git in trouble now! :-)  -- that Howard

"The Thing From Outer Space"...  the words "from outer space" are in really
small print at the bottom of the screen.

Much as I'd like to take credit for Lem as a fellow Czech ;-) he is in fact

Hearing about a release here is good news!

Bit of trivia - I have a friend who works at the Avalon Studios where it was
filmed. Apparantly they had some sort of blood mixture/substitute or whatever,
and to get that wounderful 'massacre' effect, they literally *sprayed* the stuff
all over the studio with a large pump. Walls, floor, you name it. The place stank
for months afterwards, and all the props which were used in the filming had to be
thrown out due to the stench.

I have seen 4 Ilsa movies in the video stores (and rented them and loved

The Wicked Warden, Ilsa, Harem Keeper Of The Oil Sheeks, and Ilsa, Tigress

four.

I've seen/heard reference to She Wolf Of The SS in a song by Tumor Circus 
(Jello Biafra is the lead singer), the movie Der Todesking has She Wolf in a 
video store, and I've heard of another reference to it... I just don't remember

Yes it is.  I ordered it and the quality is great.  Unfortunately,
NYUE's catalog says it is subtitled.  My copy isn't.  I was able to
buy a subtitled copy from CCC Enterprises in NYC (Chinatown) for
$6.99!!!

This movie in particular is incredible.
 
Ed (Tim?), your list is awesome.  I pretty much do the same thing.
I check Asian Trash Cinema for the "good" films, then go down
NYUE's list and buy them.  Other places you might want to check
out, CCC Enterprises in Chinatown, and East Asia Cinema in West
Haven, CT.  I've found many titles that NYUE didn't have ...
although I see your list is even more current than mine.  (I
noticed you have ROBOTRIX on your list.)

Date: 27 Aug 92 03:53:30 GMT

KISS meets the phantom of the park, now there's a great movie.

Sure, KISS act really bad in it, but the movie is stolen by the security
guard called Sneed in the scene where the KISS imposters are walking down
a flight of stairs like a bunch of zombies and the main actress says something
like
  "Sneed that's not the real KISS!!"
Then you see Sneed's emotionless face because *shock horror* he has been
replaced by a cyborg as well.  The expression on Sneed's face is one of the
most hilarious scenes I've ever seen.

Some other real dud movies which I've enjoyed are:
  
   Land of Doom
   Chrome and Hot Leather
   Just For The Hell Of It 

"Just For The Hell Of It" is an absolute classic.  The worst I've ever seen.
It's produced by Hershell Gordon-Lewis (Blood Feast, 10000 Maniacs, 
B-O-I-N-G).  This movie is so amateurish, it looks like it was shot a cheap
video camerea with the camera microphone.  None of the "stars" can act to 
save themselves.  The movie is so cheap.

If anyone else has seen any of these movies I'd love to hear your opinions.
