Actually, that's ``IT!  The Terror from Beyond Space''.  It's greatest

It's been circulating on cable a bit this summer; it's only on the

The first time I saw the movie, I was told by the announcer that it was a
pilot movie for a series that didn't make it.  There is no sequel.  I really
liked the movie, and I've seen it two or three times so far.  Usually it's
on late at night on local stations.

I am afraid you're going to have a long wait on the playhouse thing.
Incidently, Pee Wee is no flash in the pan, Paul Reubens was doing Pee
Wee for years in stand up.  It was the only reason, well next to Pen

Ian Parkin, twod@socrates.demon.co.uk

Well, now the name of Jorg Buuttgereit rings a few bells so ....

Quick list of his films, available on video ( in the UK ) :-

1 ) Hot Love 1981 - 1985 100mins ( Available VHS PAL German Soundtrack );

2 ) Nekromantik 1987 75mins ( VHS PAL English Subtitles );

3 ) Der Todesking 1989 80min ( VHS PAL English Subtitles );

4 ) Nekromantik 2 1990 - 1991 100min ( VHS PAL English Subtitles );

5 ) Corpse Fucking Art 1991 ( VHS PAL 60min German Soundtrack ).

As it happens Nekro II is currently being reviewed under the German
obscenity laws. In this case a Munich cinema was raided by the German police
the film impounded, and the projectionist ( yes its true ) is being taken 
to court ! The female projectionist apparently does not mind as she quite 
likes the film !!

JB is also involved to a lesser or greater degree with some of Max Jelinksi's
films. I know there has been a limited UK release of a collection of MJ
shorts in recent years.

The last time I saw the man he was very cagey about his next film, but he did
say that it will probably contain less gore, but will still be shocking /
entertaining.

If any of you would like to communicate with JB his postal address is :

Jelinski & Buttgereit Gbr
Barnetstr. 17
D-1000 Berlin 49
Germany
Europe

For up to date info on JB's activities the UK based magazines Headpress, and
In The Flesh are recommended.

17 sounds right, and 30 was the quote from T1 for the number of
cops in the building. Note that the Terminator didn't necessarily
kill all police officers he shot. This could allow for the return
of Vulkovitch(sp?) by Lance Heinrickson in those T3 rumors a few
months back.

Just to give you a sense of what movies I enjoy, my video collection

other movies of varying quality.

Long ago there was a B movie called, I believe, The Slime Creatures. They

        A great movie.It first came to my attention in the form of a song
by a group called Griffen. On the back cover of the record the band is standing
in what appears to be one of the films locations and Jack Palance's female
associate (the witch with the powdered face) is standing in the background.
  I had to laugh at the silly loop of the elf jumping over the log and firing
arrows at such great speed that his hands never move. They played that same 
clip a billion times in the battle sequence.
   To my knowledge,the sequel was never made-I've searched!!

Hi!

I saw "Brain Dead" a few weeks ago. 
It's from the same guy that did "Bad Taste" and "Meet the Feebles". 
( saw them in a double Feature about half a year ago )

All of these movies are great and definitly worth watching
(provided U have developed a taste for this gore/splatter stuff ... :)

But aside from that the black humor in them is just great ... ;)
It's remotly compareable to the black Knight scene in Monty Python's "Holy grail" 
(please don't flame me for making THIS connection ... :)

Now I wonder if there are any movies that provide similar black humor 
(not necessarily as much blood :) around or what other movies was this Director
(can't remember his name but he's from New Zeeland I think ...) involved in ... ?

  I thought that the costuming of the hero of Darkman was also inspired
somewhat from both the film versions of "The Invisible Man" (bandages, cloaks,
etc.) and "The Phantom of the Opera" (the disfigured aesthete out for
revenge).
 
  I've also heard of a rumour of a "Shadow" movie to be released around
Christmas.  This rumour had it that Jeremy Irons (who most recently starred in
the excellent "Kafka") would play the part of "The Shadow"/Lamont
Cranston/Kent Allard.  Iron's does have a marked resemblance to the hawk-faced
visage that appears in the old pulp covers.

Jeanette Goldstein is no more Latin American than I am, but she
did play the part of Vasquez.  Amazing what a little makeup, and
a good number of workouts in the gym will do for someone, huh?

If JG *was* the foster mother in T2, then, having seen her in
Aliens and Near Dark, I'd have to say that she's as versatile
appearance-wise as any actress I've ever seen.

While we're talking about T2, here's a good one for you...

1)  What model is the Terminator?

Yes, easy question. BUT, both he and Reese see it differently...

REESE (Michael Biehn, Terminator) says that it is a "Cyberdyne systems
model ONE-ZERO-ONE."

TERMINATOR (A.S., T2) says that he is a "Cyberdyne systems model ONE-OH-ONE."

My skin crawls every time I hear that line.
