No. It was "Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater". The bad guy was Dark Kitten,
and there was another old Cat who taught some kitten how to use the
"Fur". Can't remember the robots names, though.

Hey folks,
	I'm sure this has come up a bunch of times but, I'm curious if
anyone knows anything about the release date (or perhaps state of
production) of Sam Raimi's EVIL DEAD III: Armies of Darkness?

I remember hearing back in the summer from what I recall was a
reliable source, that it was due to be released in AUGUST!  As we all
may have noticed, no such luck.

Is it caught in some studio bureaucratic loop, waiting to be
distributed?  Is some silly contract thing holding it up?  Bruce
Campbell fans want to know!

Just a thought for this holiday season.

I've been considering the possibility of a movie of Rama as well, but as a
combo of all the books.  Ok, there is a difference in the thinking between
Rama 1 and Rama 2 (which is why I prefer Rama 1...), but since Rama 1 can be
told in flashback (or summary at the beginning of the "Rama Epic"...) it
would make more sense to start off with Rama 2 and Garden of Rama.
(And Rama Revealed whenever it comes out...)  Like I said, there are some
things that just don't mesh between Rama 1 and the rest of series (i.e.
is there REALLY a race of Ramans that ORIGINALLY created the Rama craft
before being used by the Node?  I always kinda thought that the Ramans did
create the Rama ships as colonizers and sent them on their way with the
Ramans themselves being in the 3rd and final craft...ah well...)

Try some of these:

Delicatessen - great dark comedy, sort of like Brazil

The Little Theif - Engaging Drama about a girl growing up
                   who likes to steal things

400 Blows - About a kid growing up and getting into constant
            trouble

Mon Oncle - Jaques Tati, kind of a French Charlie Chaplain, there
            were a few made around this character who is the kid's
            uncle in this movie.

Monsieur Hire' - about a guy who is captivated by this woman who
                 lives near him.  The guy gets wrongfully accused 
                 of some bad crimes.

The Hairdresser's Husband - just out in the theatres here in the 
                            states in the last month or two.
                            Very heartwarming story.

La Lectrice - about a woman who gets a job reading for an older
              gentlemen.  She reads some interesting books.  This
              one has a bit more of the sexual overtones which
              most foreign movies are sterotypified with but still
              a fairly interesting movie.

Well thats a good start let me know what you think about those 
and maybe I'll remember some more.

Despite my belief that you cannot intentionally write a cult film, heres
a few titles and such:

Anything by french lesbian vampire specialist Jean Renoir is a good place
to start.  

The Vampire Lovers <1970, Hammer>
Dracula's Daughter <1936, Universal>
Lust for A Vampire <1971, Hammer. Sequel to Vampire Lovers, tones down the
lebianism>
Vampyres, Daughters Of Dracula <1975, Cambist> <More bi than lesbian>


There are more, but tracking down all the films that followed "The Vampire
Lovers" down this path, especially the european ones, is a tough task.

the Jean Renoir ones can be very effective and/or very laughable, often
in the same scene. Only title i can dredge up is the obvious "Les
Vampyros Lesbian" or something along those lines. check some issues of
European Trash Cinema for more info. They really like Renoir.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Sorry but I don't remember what it's called but I do remember some details.

Your wife is quite right, there was a Frankenstein with Jane Seymour wearing
a black neck 'thing' to cover the stitching.  The film also starred

British Actor     Ralph Bates (I'm not 100% sure) as Baron Frankenstein
Tall American     ??? Sarazan?  (  "   "    " )   as The Monster
                  Jane Seymour  (100 % sure)      as The 2nd Attempt
Old British actor, was in Salems Lot and -
    Judy Garlands hubby in "Born to be a Star"?     as Polydori

The story goes something like this:-

	The baron creates the Monster, who is handsome, intelligent and
almost perfect.  However, something went wrong and he the monster starts
to deteriorate.  The Baron tries again and this time 'asssembles' Jane 
who is perfect apart from the mark on her neck, (hence the requirement of the
neck 'thingy').

The story goes on a bit with Polidori picking up the monster after the Baron
tries to destroy it in a vat of Acid, and thinks its name is LAZERUS, (the
monster keeps quoting "...I am Lazerus, for we are legion.." from the Bible.

It all ends tragically, (of course), in the Arctic but not without Polidori
and the Jane Seymour Character getting their just rewards at the hands of
the monster

I saw this film a long time ago, hence the gaps, but I thought it was a
cracking good version.  Hope some of the above helps.

There are so many, but here is a list of favorites:

Bad Taste <what can I say! All time best gore comedy!>
Bloodsucking Freaks <probably one of the most vile things ever committed to 
     film. No redeeming social value, but quite disturbing>
Cannibal Ferox <sick sick sick. >
The Wizard Of Gore <Oddly affecting wallow in pig guts with H. G. Lewis>
Shogun Asassin <some of the most artistic gore in history>
Africa, Blood and Guts <shortened version Of "Africa Addio", a documentary
    on the political upheaval in Africa in the later 60's. Real footage
    of animal slaughter, and human executions. An hour of political
    explanation was excised, and it was released to the grindhouses. "Africa
    Addio" is virtually impossible to find intact. >
The ReAnimator <unrated version only. suprisingly lighthearted. B} >
They Came From Within <I'm a sucker for the guy trying to p[ull a parasite
    off his face with a pair of pliers>
The  Brood <once described as being as entertaining as stock footage of
   Buchenwald. It's much better than that>
Pieces <incoherent, but fun spanish chainsaw murders>
Night Of The Zombies <the Italian one. Stupid but effective zombie stuff,
      spiced up with real footage of cannibals. >
Evil Clutch <zany italian variation on the "Evil Dead" idea. Satanic mud,
     and a woman with a claw between her legs!>
Maniac <Extremely sleazy mad slasher film. Features probably Tom Savini's
    best effects. this Maniac is from 1982, not to be confused with any
    other Maniac>
Black Magic <absolutely insane Shaw brothers kung fu/Magic/Gore film.
     It's got it all: Zombies, Vampires, Mad Sorcerors, and lots of gore.>

The ones that contain documentary footage are by far the least entertaining,
and most disgusting. Just wish I could find a real copy of "Africa Addio".

	Don't forget Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (1969)! Astronauts go to Planet
X and find aliens who want Godzilla and Rodan so that they can drive off
Monster Zero (who is actually Ghidirah (sp?), the Three-Headed Monster).
Eventually the aliens take all three of the monsters back to earth and,
controlling them with magnetic waves, use them as weapons to take over the
world.  Scientists use an "A-Cycle Light Ray" to cut off the aliens' control
over the monsters, and Godzilla and Rodan are thrown into the sea and Ghidirah
flys off into space.  The aliens kill themselves in shame.
	That's the only Godzilla movie I've ever seen in its entirety.
