I've seen it three times and I find it very impressive, but I couldn't get the
intention of Kubrick to make the movie. Is it, because he hates violence ? Or
does he want to say, violence is stronger, it will ever win ? Does anybody
here read an interview about the sense of this special (very special in some
ways) movie ?

Bye for now,

I am sure that Frank Hennelotter would think the opinion of your cousin
to be a very high compliment. I  treasure the "Basket Case" surgical masks
I have, from the theatrical release.

Pet Semetery was not great, but it wasn't bad. If you want bad King, try
Children Of The Corn". Oops, I see you like that one. I think it is his
worst adaptation so far, though. 

Hellraiser 3 is at least as bad as anything you mentioned, so don't worry
too much about that.

"My Bloody Valentine"? Of all the crummy slasher-halloween/Freddy the 13th
movies in the universe, you have to bring up this one. Having sat through
it several times at the drive in, I still can't remember anything but the
gore scenes, and precious little of them. Talk about having NO Character
development whatsoever! And the gore was so heavily cut for major release
that even that was minimal! Good photos in Fangoria, prior to release
though. Overall, I always found this one very bland, even by the 
milquetoast standards of the genre. 
As Always, this is just my scrawny little opinion.

"Metaluna 4" sounds like "This Island Earth", a CLASSIC 50's Sci-Fi flick.
Great effects and the Metaluna Mutant at the end is amazing. Just saw
a full Metaluna costume in the window of a local costume shop!!!

X-The Man With The X-Ray Eyes" freaked me out so bad, I arranged to have
it shown to several classes at my High School in Kansas! Popular legend
holds that, right after Ray Milland has yanked his eyes out, and the camera 
has zoomed in to show the holes, he was supposed to say "I CAN STILL SEE!"
That would have almost been too much! I swear I have seen prints of this
on Television with some sort of optical effect added to minimize the 
gaping holes! Great effects through out. One of Roger Corman's best films!

My favorite, shocking cult film, would have to be either "Performance" 
in general, El Topo/Holy Mountain <The crucified flayed rabbits blew
my mind!>, or perhaps just Nekromantic <pretty damn sick, but I kept it>

					--Judex--
PS: The film that shocked me most as a Child, was a TV showing of the
classic, gory thrilller, "The Flesh Eaters". Pretty silly, but I bought it
all, even the crummy face-through-the-ribcage matte shot.

I have been searching all over for this movie. It's a foreign cheesy
psycho movie. I think it's Belgian or something. It's based in Belgrad
and I forget where that is.
Anyways, the plot is:
There is this fat Johnathan Winters look-alike named Peter Marik that
wears a suit all around and sells carnations for a living. He's like 50
and lives with his mother, who beats his hands when he doesn't sell
enough carnation [beat is a strong term, more like lightly slides a
piece of wood against them]. He gets pissed because a bunch of girls
start saying "I hate carnations" when he tries to sell them one so he
KILLS THEM. And then there is this really bad rock guy who has a
telepathic link with this marik guy, and he makes a song about the
strangler and it's an instant hit [of course] and blah blah.
The plot is stupid is hell, as well as the way they go about the plot.
The characters are silly, and the dialogue was either poorly written or
is the worst job of translation anyone has ever done.
But it is hilarious for all its stupidity. It is a must see for lovers
of bad movies.

Anyways, to the point, if anyone knows anything more than the title of
this movie, like who produced it, etc. or where I could find a copy,
please let me know!

Keywords: you, call, this, acting, ?


On the subject of the worst film ever made, it seems pretty obvious that the
winner, hands down is CITIZEN KANE.  I mean this film was one of the most
prodigious wastes of celluloid ever to hit the world since DW Griffith poured
his heinous fallfish upon the screen at the beginning of film history.  Orson
Welles is totally unbelievable as Mr.  Kane.  And its supposed to be some sort
of ``veiled'' reference to William Randolf Hearst, yeah, like nobody can
tell it is a reference to this guy.  What a ridiculously simple allusion.
Like DUH??!!!?!!?

And everybody is supposed to believe that Charles Foster
Kane is a cold man just because his mommy didn't love him.
Oh, poor little Charles Foster Kane.  Nobody has it as bad
as you.  Actually, now that I think about it, C.F.  Kane
really is a lot like W.R. Hearst.  I mean have you read any
editorials of his son or grandson in the Examiner?  These
guys suffered from oxygen deprivation in the womb.  William
Randolf Hearst III is one of the most inarticulate and
contradictory editors in the country.  What a dork!  And
what a perfect metaphor for Citizen Kane.  Inarticulate
and contradictory with brilliant moments of real narrative
flatulence.

Another thing that really pissed me off about Citizen Kane:
it wasn't even in fucking color.  Not that colorizing (a
savior for ``classic'' films) would help the pitiful
acting job this group of inexperienced playschool actors.
Go back to acting school, people.

And the directatorial control by Orson Welles could have
been better accomplished by Dan Quayle (or a fourth grader).
I mean stick to wine commercials, buddy.  All of those
god damned shadows all over the place.  Didn't they have
fucking lighting back in the forties?  I mean you don't
find stupid shadows like that in modern day classics
like, ``Driving Miss Daisy''.  Let's ship off that old
wheelbarrow of bricks to a real film school like USC!
That's easily the best film school in the world.  I bet
if anyone could salvage that formula-director, Welles, it
would be USC.  I mean, what a great film school.

Anyway, sorry for the rant.  Sometimes I just get so pissed
off at the stuff that comes out of the American film
industry.  Idiots, all of them (except for John Hughes).

This is true. But *you* have a responsibility as well. It's called netiquette.
What this means is; no going crazy with cross-posting and setting 
follow-ups correctly. There is no reason that I can see why this thread
cannot be kept to alt.cult-movies and one non-alt group (for the people
who don't get alt.*). If the net belongs to everyone it belongs to me
as well. As predicted this thread is winding down anyway so this conversation
will probably be moot. BTW, i'm not trying to accuse you of violating 
netiquette here. I'm just pointing out that your argument cuts both ways.

Recently I was at my local magic shop, Denver, CO, and was asking how
to vanish objects such as decks of cards, etc.  One of the gentlemen
suggested that I use a top.  He had a large book that I could not
afford to purchase that described how to make one of these tops using
a suit coat or something similar.

At this point in time I have more time than money.  I do have a sewing
machine though and I'm willing to work on it.  Is there anyone who would
tell me the mechanics of how one of these tops works?  I am hoping to 
reproduce the card effect done by David Copperfield in which he makes a
deck of cards he apparently shuffled to vanish and return to its case.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
