Seems the junk originally belonged to villainous Patrai (Fernando Lamas wearing a Snidely Whiplash moustache), who is now threatening to destroy the village if his property isn't returned to him intact and unexploded. Tempted by gold and attractive local girl Tisa (stunningly gorgeous Alizia Gur), Rick takes up the cause with some assistance from tourist guide Vigo (Aldo Ray). A ridiculous but enjoyable action flick, <span style="font-style: italic;">Kill a Dragon</span> does at least benefit from Hong Kong location footage." My guess is the IMDB is being too modest, it also benefits from one imagining Palance going on drunken rampages through Hong Kong and mistakenly trying to pick up young girls because he didn't realize it wasn't Bangkok.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span> Actor Don Knight used to be a Methodist minister before entering the world of acting.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDEKnDrPsr38mrOTKDgeOMMKDwYaKM3moVsy5Ubn6bH6PSkyBtazfxke7_lJdjRM8GsE19cq7HxN249CgfQShsiLZD7ge6DyCn-MW0FSF_jm-0FNnazR0znihZ6vD_BJH3dvuZloYkwio/s1600-h/knightrider2010.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 126px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDEKnDrPsr38mrOTKDgeOMMKDwYaKM3moVsy5Ubn6bH6PSkyBtazfxke7_lJdjRM8GsE19cq7HxN249CgfQShsiLZD7ge6DyCn-MW0FSF_jm-0FNnazR0znihZ6vD_BJH3dvuZloYkwio/s200/knightrider2010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280253742550284610" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/chooser.php?show=Knight%20Rider%202010%201994&total=180"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">KNIGHT RIDER 2010 (1994)</span></span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Sam Pillsbury (<span style="font-style: italic;">Free Willy 3: the Rescue</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Fifteen and Pregnant</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Endless Bummer</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Richard Joseph Paul (<span style="font-style: italic;">Under the Boardwalk</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Oblivion 1-2</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Vampirella</span>), Hudson Leick (<span style="font-style: italic;">Chill Factor</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">One Two Many</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Xena: Warrior Princess</span>), Michael Beach (<span style="font-style: italic;">Soul Food</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Third Watch</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">ER</span>), Don McManus, Nicky Katt (<span style="font-style: italic;">SubUrbia</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Boiler Room</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Boston Public</span>), Brion James (<span style="font-style: italic;">Blade Runner</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Player</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Fifth Element</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> Also known as "that <span style="font-style: italic;">Knight Rider</span> thing even Hasselhoff wouldn't show up for," this TV movie took equal parts<span style="font-style: italic;"> Christine</span>,<span style="font-style: italic;"> Johnny Mneumonic</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">My Mother the Car</span> to create a new spin on the old TV series.... one everyone laughed off the air, if they bothered to watch at all. This one takes place in the then-distant future where the world is just a massive shithole. A smuggler tries to make ends meet in the Apocalypse, but his girlfriend is killed. Fortunately, she managed to store her spirit on a memory card that the smuggler inserts into a souped up Ford Mustang. Meaning this poor guy can't even drive away when things get too weird at the house - am I right, guys? Guys? Come on, don't leave me hanging here.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span>: Richard Joseph Paul has been doing a lot of Law & Order.

You get this, a kung fu movie produced by Berry Gordy of Motown Records. Martial arts student Leroy Green (Taimak) is on a quest to obtain the elusive all-powerful force know as "The Glow." Along the way he must battle the evil, self-proclaimed Shogun of Harlem - a kung fu warrior also known as Sho-nuff (Julius J. Carry III) - and rescue a beautiful singer (Prince protégée Vanity) from an obsessed record promoter. Basically, Berry Gordy was trying to figure out how to milk a few more bucks out of the Motown catalog when he turned on the TV and watched <span style="font-style: italic;">Black Belt Jones</span>. He said, "This kung fu blaxploitation thing is fantastic, but you know what it could use? El Debarge." Thus, one of the most hilarious 1980s spectacles was born.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: During the introductory training sequence, Leroy karate-chops an arrow as it soars past him. This is for real; it took two hours to get the stunt right.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: Under pressure from the studio, in an effort to cut two million dollars out of the budget, director Michael Schultz and screenwriter Louis Venosta sat up in a hotel room all night rewriting the script. When Venosta fell asleep on the hotel bed, Schultz pressed a button on the computer which deleted forty pages of the script. When Venosta awoke that morning, the pair spent the day recreating that material.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span>: In 1997, Busta Rhymes parodied the character Sho Nuff in his music video for "Dangerous". In the video, the music cuts off, and Busta proclaims, "Yo Leroy! Am I not the baddest . . ." and replicates the first on-screen speech of Sho Nuff in this movie.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Personal Reflection Dept.</span> I have had to stop recommending this film to people at the local video store. Anytime someone really takes to it, the movie never comes back - no doubt getting riffed on by amateur cappers and their drunken, sweaty, hedonistic parties. We've had to replace this DVD like four times in two years.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6DQkfFMkVEeJCnFe0QUCfYB1r60eZwD2JNCHvxJEANhHvH10eS3v8TVJJzq1X-c0o1mJfRXW5Fw_Kohc_s43Y_hTmiAOiqRW4X2kS_5b9lWUkaZyXXnv2R59bnJ5vdP6GVVs_EGznzDU/s1600-h/leftbehind2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6DQkfFMkVEeJCnFe0QUCfYB1r60eZwD2JNCHvxJEANhHvH10eS3v8TVJJzq1X-c0o1mJfRXW5Fw_Kohc_s43Y_hTmiAOiqRW4X2kS_5b9lWUkaZyXXnv2R59bnJ5vdP6GVVs_EGznzDU/s200/leftbehind2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280256426955288914" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/chooser.php?show=Left%20Behind%202%20-%20Tribulation%20Force%202002&total=180"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">LEFT BEHIND II: TRIBULATION FORCE (2002)</span></span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Bill Corcoran (<span style="font-style: italic;">Atomic Twister</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Vipers</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars </span>Kirk Cameron (<span style="font-style: italic;">Like Father Like Son</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Growing Pains</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Kirk</span>), Brad Johnson (<span style="font-style: italic;">Always</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Flight of the Intruder</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Philadelphia Experiment II</span>), Chelsea Noble (<span style="font-style: italic;">Growing Pains</span>), Clarence Gilyard Jr. (<span style="font-style: italic;">Die Hard</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Matlock</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Walker Texas Ranger</span>), Janaya Stephens, Gordon Currie, Krista Bridges<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> In the first <span style="font-style: italic;">Left Behind</span>, millions of people vanished off the face of the earth. All they left behind were their clothes (they're allowed to be naked in Heaven since they didn't do anything bad with their bodies in real life - like enjoy them) and their godless, idolatrous dogs. A new leader has come to the forefront and promises to bring the world into a new age of enlightenment. But hold on, this is Nicholai Carpathia (that name - really?) and he's the antichrist. Of course Satan is a commie, you silly pinko generation! Buck Williams (again - really?!?) has started a sleeper cell of terror- er, I mean a group of caring, Christian people to take down the Slavic Horned One. This Tribulation Force knows the seven year countdown to Armageddon (which in scripture is actually a place, not an event, but whatever) has started and they must stop Carpathia before it's too late. Fortunately, Buck is played by Kirk Cameron - who really doesn't look like a Buck - so you know that when he saves the world, he will do it only in the most sanctimonious and uninformed way possible.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: In one scene there's a sign in both English and Hebrew. The English says, "Do not cross! Violators will be shot" The Hebrew says exactly the same thing, but in English. The writers used Hebrew letters to create the same English words, and it is even read left to right, which is backwards in Hebrew.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: The movie was supposed to be released in theatres on 31 December 2002, but the film was never released (but only in church screens).<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span>: Chelsea Noble is Kirk Cameron's wife. The two were also eventually married on the television show <span style="font-style: italic;">Growing Pains</span>. He tries to get her in all his films, especially if any romantic subplots are involved. On the recent film, <span style="font-style: italic;">Fireproof</span>, Cameron would not kiss co-star Erin Bethea. When time came for the kiss, Noble came in as a stand-in. He refused to kiss anyone but his wife. It's really taking things far sure, but admit it - some of you out there think that is awfully romantic.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRDYU-kmramYebF_r-WYbQfAvMAhCZeCxoNwIz6-CU3EkTjuUct9hhHlm4CPoec5fGT6x8HWvYiLFOYfqMC6oEf2OVK9jvxWWkrdLUZvqkwtnpQ0gIwUmiic3RhyVnzegSGGZMm8Sw_w/s1600-h/leftbehind3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 144px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRDYU-kmramYebF_r-WYbQfAvMAhCZeCxoNwIz6-CU3EkTjuUct9hhHlm4CPoec5fGT6x8HWvYiLFOYfqMC6oEf2OVK9jvxWWkrdLUZvqkwtnpQ0gIwUmiic3RhyVnzegSGGZMm8Sw_w/s200/leftbehind3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280259484416987538" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/chooser.php?show=Left%20Behind%203%20-%20World%20at%20War%202005&total=180"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">LEFT BEHIND: WORLD AT WAR (2005)</span></span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Craig R.

Wait, hold on- wow, really? Yes, the conveniently Slavic Great Adversary has united the world under a banner of peace. Only America could possibly stand in the way of such a sweeping event, But America is being run by idealistic President Gerald Fitzhugh (Louis Gossett Jr.). But wait, world peace is a smokescreen to allow Carpathia to start World War III! And by not putting your foot down and stopping Carpathia's actions, you've left America and the world open to annihilation. Oh, you foolish idealistic black president! Okay, so the film was made three years before the election, but let's face it - we all know where the Left Behind authors' loyalties lie. But all is not lost, Gossett might still stop the Antichrist and he'll do it with the help of... Kirk Cameron. Wow, we're screwed.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: Based on the final 50 pages of the second book (in a 12-volume series), <span style="font-style: italic;">Tribulation Force</span>, which takes place 18 months after the signing of the Israel treaty, ushering in the beginning of the seven-year Tribulation period.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: Instead of a limited number of movie screens that Hollywood opted for, the producers decided to open in 3,000+ church screens.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span>: Charles Martin Smith once played Satan on an episode of <span style="font-style: italic;">Northern Exposure</span>.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Personal Reflection Dept</span>.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Left Behind</span> ruined my sex life. Let me back up. I worked with a woman, a very nice and attractive woman. She was a Christian, as am I. Though it appears I'm considerably more liberal than she was. We went on a date or two, no hanky panky - Bickle's a gentleman, believe it or not. She said she would like to keep going out but not until I read this very important book and told her what I thought of it. The book was the first <span style="font-style: italic;">Left Behind</span> book and I borrowed it from her. I started to read it in an Irish pub while ordering glasses of Guiness. The more I read, and the more Guiness I imbibed, I just couldn't wrap my head around what I saw as one of the most inanely written pulp novels that used shoddy fear tactics to force people into a certain line of thinking. From my point of view, there was no inspiration there, just fearmongering and sanctimonious preaching. I was really incredulous that anyone of any intelligence was falling for it. I put it down after about sixty pages, went home and watched some good old fashioned sex and violence on television. When she asked what I thought of the book, I was very honest, stating my point of view but not trashing hers. Never let it be said that honesty is always the best policy. Not only did we not go out after that, she seemed to avoid me unless it was absolutely necessary.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSkdokfIZ7afP1d6HWNBe0AXvxwJvyIhl6ilc6heg_Ub4eSD48pGYv4wrJELawXHVAsI2k52SJBwN1tS3syYvBrAdK-nQPBKuX_FimgQyNpD4zsuYBHrF7dCsvQXyDm73sZq5YWaL44So/s1600-h/legend.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 127px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSkdokfIZ7afP1d6HWNBe0AXvxwJvyIhl6ilc6heg_Ub4eSD48pGYv4wrJELawXHVAsI2k52SJBwN1tS3syYvBrAdK-nQPBKuX_FimgQyNpD4zsuYBHrF7dCsvQXyDm73sZq5YWaL44So/s200/legend.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280261108708339954" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/chooser.php?show=Legend%201985&total=180"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">LEGEND (1986)</span></span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Ridley Scott (<span style="font-style: italic;">Alien</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Blade Runner</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Gladiator</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Tom Cruise, Mia Sara (<span style="font-style: italic;">Ferris Bueller's Day Off</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Timecop</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Birds of Prey</span>), Tim Curry, David Bennent (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Tin Drum</span>), Alice Playten, Billy Barty, Cork Hubbert (<span style="font-style: italic;">Under the Rainbow</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Charmings</span>), Peter O'Farrell, Kiran Shah, Annabelle Lanyon, Robert Picardo<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> A few months before Tom Cruise donned his Maverick flight jacket, he donned a loincloth in Ridley Scott's eagerly anticipated but much-troubled fantasy epic. Jack is a "green man," which is their way of saying he's a spirit of the forest - not a sickly looking guy or the guy in the Chronic the Hemphog shirt who sells weed. He is in love with the fair maiden Lily (Ferris Bueller's gal Mia Sara). One day, he shows Lily something special - two totally non-Freudian unicorns, their erect horns glistening in the morning dew. But look out, Lily just couldn't resist touching one of those horns. And all because of her, one of the unicorns is killed by the minions of Lord Darkness (Tim Curry), the dude with the biggest horns around. Lily falls under Darkness' spell and is thus corrupted into a smokin' hot goth. Thus, Jack teams up with a group of elves (played by every major dwarf actor aside from David Rappaport) to defeat Darkness and restore beauty to the land. Ahh, but can anyone truly defeat Darkness? After all there is no love without hate, or light without darkness. I thought this was incredibly deep when I was eleven years old. And to be fair, compared to the other stuff we had in the 1980s, it was downright revolutionary.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: A huge set made to look like the sprawling forest was created. Unfortunately, the "007" stage burnt down and much of the film was made on reconstructed sets that never matched the scale of the previous sets. Upon hearing of the damage done by the fire, Ridley Scott figured there was nothing he could do. He went golfing for the day to get his mind off of it.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: Mia Sara was only 15 during the filming of <span style="font-style: italic;">Legend</span>. Sara was actually born in 1967, so she was 15 in 1982, which is when production for the film began. But it took a further three years before <span style="font-style: italic;">Legend </span>was finally completed by Ridley Scott because of the film's immensely troubled production history.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span>: The sound of the unicorns at play is actually a recording of humpback whales. The same sound effect was used in Mike Gray's <span style="font-style: italic;">Wavelength</span>, Luigi Cozzi's <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/index.php?do=add_form&loca=080525/images&pickgrab=1211785200"><span style="font-style: italic;">Hercules </span></a>and <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/index.php?do=add_form&loca=080906/images&pickgrab=1220752800"><span style="font-style: italic;">Star Trek IV: the Voyage Home</span></a>.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 4</span>: The script was originally much longer and more explicit as can be evidenced by someone speaking in a making-of documentry, relating the story of a producer who objected to the idea of Lord Darkness ravishing the princess.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 5</span>: The U.S. and European versions differ greatly. The U.S. version is 89 minutes with a score by progressive band Tangerine Dream. The European cut is 114 minutes and features a more traditional orchestral score by Jerry Goldsmith. Additionally, the films feature different rhythms and certain sequences in a different order. Ridley Scott has said he enjoys both versions.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxbTU5yrbK_pYi81mo7GC4merKL9Y-2_2x-42Au0s_CgRwPDoYJ5V9R7-VtzCZgIaG2n6AQoyZ4wb6dLKvSJmWNVnn0fyBD0A1XSPG4Hq3DIyO1MLnASa5Px1q_Mutc9O7u0l2Z3z0lQg/s1600-h/meteor.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxbTU5yrbK_pYi81mo7GC4merKL9Y-2_2x-42Au0s_CgRwPDoYJ5V9R7-VtzCZgIaG2n6AQoyZ4wb6dLKvSJmWNVnn0fyBD0A1XSPG4Hq3DIyO1MLnASa5Px1q_Mutc9O7u0l2Z3z0lQg/s200/meteor.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280261976724190674" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/chooser.php?show=Meteor&total=180"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">METEOR (1979)</span></span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Ronald Nearme (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Odessa File</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Poseidon Adventure</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars </span>Sean Connery, Natalie Wood, Karl Malden, Brian Keith, Martin Landau, Trevor Howard, Richard Dysart, Henry Fonda<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> Hey, Bruce Willis! You're sloppy seconds! Almost twenty years before either <span style="font-style: italic;">Armageddon </span>or it's super-depressing predesessor, <span style="font-style: italic;">Deep Impact</span>, Hollywood came up with a movie about a giant meteor about to collide with Earth and the brave men and women who try to stop it. It was one of the later disaster movies, an attempt to give it the sci-fi push in the wake of <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/index.php?do=add_form&loca=080531/images&pickgrab=1212301800"><span style="font-style: italic;">Star Wars</span></a>. A huge cast was gathered, an obscene amount of money was spent and publicity went into overdrive before anyone realized the film mainly consisted of a bunch of bigtime actors watching a rock. Regardless, as pieces of the rock demolish major cities, we discover that the only way to destroy the bigger rock is by launching nukes from our illegal satalite. Not strong enough, American is forced to work with the Soviet Union who has also launched an illegal nuclear satelite. It was the Cold War, kids. This crap happened all the time.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: Re-rated "PG" on appeal after originally being rated "R" by the MPAA. Wow, looks like the MPAA didn't always turn a blind eye to the deaths of millions being depicted on screen, just because it was done with snazzy special effects. Go figure.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: Premiered on the floor of Meteor Crater in Arizona. This is also the site where the astronauts practiced their moonwalk and where the mother ship picked up Jeff Bridges in <span style="font-style: italic;">Starman</span>. Coincidentally, it was where Jeff Bridges also tried to do the moon walk and was greeted with polite applause by the teamsters on duty.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYqvEaM0-mKpG_p2TTOseMlNcojNoWXZOWsJMre3bnUYifaaCDzKdUCKQlc-OmwAQD51OGm5hE9nfz4pIoL2MyBcLy0MwF_vjR-791g1C49HLjkRgonGqQTLLskIFXJXyWHnqWxTfkCoQ/s1600-h/milliondollarmystery2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 126px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYqvEaM0-mKpG_p2TTOseMlNcojNoWXZOWsJMre3bnUYifaaCDzKdUCKQlc-OmwAQD51OGm5hE9nfz4pIoL2MyBcLy0MwF_vjR-791g1C49HLjkRgonGqQTLLskIFXJXyWHnqWxTfkCoQ/s200/milliondollarmystery2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280268119880897746" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY (1987)</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Richard Fleischer (<span style="font-style: italic;">20,000 Leagues Under the Sea</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Fantastic Voyage</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Tora!

Tom Bosley stars (!) as a guy who rips off $4 million from the government. (Only $4 million? HA! When you can steal $700 billion and rape our dog at the same time, then we'll talk escalation) He stops in a diner where some world famous chili promptly kills him. Before he croaks, he tells the people in the diner where the first million is, and that from there, he can find the other millions at various locations. The people in the diner immediately run off and try to make it to the cash first. During the closing credits, one of the characters informs the audience that there is a million dollars somewhere in the USA and if they follow the clues in specially marked Glad-Lock bags, they have the chance to win $1,000,000. It's one of those films like <span style="font-style: italic;">Mad, Mad World</span> where they gather a bunch of stars together to look for missing loot. They forgot the stars, but what the hell.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: Glad Bags and DeLaurentiis Entertainment co-sponsored a real-life million-dollar "treasure hunt" to coincide with this film's release. At the end of the movie, the cash is still missing, and moviegoers were invited to find the location of the hidden stash, using clues provided in the film (the sponsors also emphasized that the money wasn't PHYSICALLY hidden anywhere, lest anyone injure themselves or damage property while searching for the loot; the audience just had to GUESS where the money was hidden). Ticket buyers were even given game cards shaped like American currency--with a big photo of Dine Del Laurentis where the President should be. In the end, it was a big disaster for the studio. The film was one of the major flops of the 1980s, barely grossing a million dollars at the box office, which the studio wound up forking over to the contest winner, a woman in Bakersfield, California. (Incidentally, the money was hidden in the bridge of the Statue of Liberty's nose). It gave birth to the slogan, "Give me your tired, your poor, your - holy crap I'm about to have the most expensive sneeze ever."<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: Veteran stuntman Dar Robinson was killed executing a motorcycle stunt for this movie. The film is dedicated to him (as was <span style="font-style: italic;">Lethal Weapon</span>, which he completed prior to shooting this).<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span>: The man who drops dead before sending the cast on a treasure hunt is played by Tom Bosley, who was widely recognized as the spokesman for Glad trash bags at the time. The poster (pictured) even featured a Glad trash bag as its main focal point. When this film bombed, Mr. Clean's Tolkien-esque fantasy trilogy was quickly scrapped.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 4</span>: When both Jamie Alcroft and Mack Dryden were nominated for the 1988 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, it marked one of only three times that more than one person had shared an acting nomination with each other. The other two times were all five of the Spice Girls, (Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell) who were all nominated for, and subsequently "won" Worst Actress in the movie <span style="font-style: italic;">Spice World</span>, and Ashley Olsen & Mary-Kate Olsen in <span style="font-style: italic;">New York Minute</span>, also nominated for Worst Actress<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 5</span>: Penny Baker only has a few film and television credits. She was a notable Playboy Playmate in the 1980s.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 6</span>: Rich Hall was a featured player on the HBO comedy show Not Neccesarily the News.

After a mysterious mist envelops a small New England town, a group of locals trapped in a supermarket must battle a siege of otherworldly creatures... and the fears that threaten to tear them apart. Take away all sharp objects from the room while watching this film. Seriously.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: In the opening shot of the film, David is painting in his room. The picture he's drawing is a design from Stephen King's <span style="font-style: italic;">Dark Tower</span> series of the gunslinger Roland. Another design in the room is that of the poster of John Carpenter's <span style="font-style: italic;">The Thing</span>. John Carpenter also wrote and directed <span style="font-style: italic;">The Fog</span>, which shares obvious themes with the Mist.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: In the pharmacy scene, when David Drayton is collecting a comic book for his son, Frank Darabont proposed to Thomas Jane that he should grab a copy <span style="font-style: italic;">The Punisher: War Journal</span> since Jane played the Punisher three years earlier. Jane declined because he had a falling out with the producers of the Punisher franchise and decided not to return for the sequel. He instead grabs an issue of <span style="font-style: italic;">Hellboy </span>as a shout out to friend Ron Perlman.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span>: Shot in the six-week hiatus of <span style="font-style: italic;">The Shield</span>, with its cinematographer, two camera operators, their editor and the script supervisor, all of whom the director has worked with when he directed episodes of the show.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 4</span>: This isn't William Sadler's first time with <span style="font-style: italic;">The Mist</span>.

Okay, did everybody get that - we've got a blind serial killer. How might that work, you might ask? I don't know, I'm technically legally blind myself and I can just see myself stabbing at air for hours before the victim gets tired and says "Oh, give me the damn knife," and commits suicide. But he's not just a blind serial killer, oh no. Apparantly, he's actually a monster who transmits his craziness to a granny, who then turns into a cannibalistic beast. So, we have <span style="font-style: italic;">Wait Until Dark</span> meets <span style="font-style: italic;">Maniac </span>meets <span style="font-style: italic;">I Drink Your Blood</span> meets <span style="font-style: italic;">Rabid Grannies</span>. Can't say producers weren't thorough.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span>: Video boxes proudly touted that film was "from the producer of <span style="font-style: italic;">Men At Work</span>."

Yeah, I could write something smarmy here, but what's the point? It's John Waters' first film, back when he didn't even care if anyone would turn his films into musicals. The guy is smarmy and crazy and wonderful and there it is.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: It seems that the bombshell is reading Kenneth Anger's "Hollywood Babylon" when she's on the bus.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: While filming a scene featuring a naked hitchhiker, John Waters was on the campus of Johns Hopkins University without permission.

The films proported to show the dark underbelly of the far corners of the world, but were mostly ficticious. Many other films would follow in the mondo films wake, most notoriously <span style="font-style: italic;">Faces of Death</span>, which is still controversial although its been widely documented as being mostly simulated.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 4</span>: Estimated budget - $2100<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAS9cbCcpGbkx4torKQoWPq4FtBXP2r-H2g_BTGGm07yAcI2Mk6xMyTidlw9pXan4uOnULoyY55Ai85SzkWOOu4rPN8uoYfIjJzh6JXDNeYFIF-lqWtyYDWs32hgCrumCYLVudNk15fok/s1600-h/warriorsofthewasteland2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 132px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAS9cbCcpGbkx4torKQoWPq4FtBXP2r-H2g_BTGGm07yAcI2Mk6xMyTidlw9pXan4uOnULoyY55Ai85SzkWOOu4rPN8uoYfIjJzh6JXDNeYFIF-lqWtyYDWs32hgCrumCYLVudNk15fok/s200/warriorsofthewasteland2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280273722909394482" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/chooser.php?show=New%20Barbarians&total=180"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE NEW BARBARIANS (1982)</span></span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Enzo G.

The world's been devastated by a nuclear war. It's a land where gangs of human predators travel in packs like wolves, where junkyards are filled with the dying remnants of society, and an army of carnivorous military prisoners threaten a fragile sliver of civilization. The only hope of the few remaining survivors is to reach a distant land where radio signals, indicate the possible presence of human life. One of the best Italian <span style="font-style: italic;">Mad Max</span> knock-offs out there. The Italians could do these really well, since they noted the <span style="font-style: italic;">Mad Max</span> films were basically Spaghetti westerns transported to a post-apocalyptic future. Hence, the climax of this one shares some similarities with <span style="font-style: italic;">A Fistful of Dollars</span>. It does feature some things the westerns didn't - such as a car with a fruity-looking bubble top, an all-homosexual evil horde, a gal who acts with her hair and tinted goggles and yes Soozcat, extraneous armulets.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Personal Reflection Dept.</span> I am a sucker for all these Italian Mad Max rip-offs (and <span style="font-style: italic;">Escape from New York</span> rip-offs, and <span style="font-style: italic;">Conan </span>rip-offs, and...). Hence, I begged and pleaded to rent this puppy when I was a kid. It was released in the U.S. as <span style="font-style: italic;">Warriors of the Wasteland</span> and hit VHS on the old Thorn/EMI label in one of those big clamshell cases. It was one of the original "R-rated" films I was allowed to bring home. Nevertheless, I didn't get to see it all then as my father walked in when our hero has sex with the woman he saves on the very night they met - actually a non-explicit scene with some clever intercutting. I had to finally see it on Nite Owl Theatre a few years later, where of course it was cut for TV, though not by much. See kids - before the greedheads gave us infomercials, TV stations used to rerun bad sitcoms and movies no sane person would want to watch during prime time hours. It was a blast. I have seen it uncut many times since, and the film was released to a lovingly restored DVD as <span style="font-style: italic;">The New Barbarians</span> by Shriek Show, an exploitation offshoot of Media Blasters.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeWf3px7XAF663fBawgx_MX8Sifhv1xnrJHV1hFn7HmgICAkp9VbjBJEd-JcrwucLGoFyqUeW8JN9Iw9ePGdGPCV97mlPfyL8-u9fnUiChGkefsnFpY5RUeGtkw0zRS7TGIJ2THetfzbc/s1600-h/no_holds_barred.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 126px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeWf3px7XAF663fBawgx_MX8Sifhv1xnrJHV1hFn7HmgICAkp9VbjBJEd-JcrwucLGoFyqUeW8JN9Iw9ePGdGPCV97mlPfyL8-u9fnUiChGkefsnFpY5RUeGtkw0zRS7TGIJ2THetfzbc/s200/no_holds_barred.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280277069329567554" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/chooser.php?show=No%20Holds%20Barred%201989&total=180"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NO HOLDS BARRED (1989)</span></span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Thomas J. Wright<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars </span>Hulk Hogan, Joan Severance (<span style="font-style: italic;">Black Scorpion I-II</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Lake Consequence</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Bird On a Wire</span>), Kurt Fuller, Tommy "Tiny" Lister (<span style="font-style: italic;">Friday</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Fifth Element</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Posse</span>), Mark Pellegrino, Bill Henderson, Charles Levin, David Paymer, Patrick O'Bryan, Jesse Ventura<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> Rip is the World Wrestling Federation champion who is faithful to his fans and the network he wrestles for. Brell, the new head of the World Television Network, wants Rip to wrestle for his network. Rip refuses and goes back to his normal life. Still looking for a way to raise ratings, Brell initiates a show called "The Battle of the Tough Guys", a violent brawling competition. A mysterious man, Zeus, wins the competition. This gets Brell to use him as an angle to get at Rip. This is a film that features jokes about masturbation, penises and soiling oneself. It also proports that pro-wrestling is one hundred percent real, and non-WWF (Vince McMahon had yet to have his ass handed to him by the World Wildlife Federation - ha, ha!) groups had nothing against unleashing murderous fighters on national television, whether they attacked crippled people in the crowds or not. It is also not really a comedy. At least, I don't think so.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span>: To promote the movie Tiny Lister was brought in to the WWF as Zeus. Saying he was angry about losing in the movie and saying he could beat Hogan in real life. The problem was he was not a real wrestler. He wrestled only three matches, a tag match with Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan & Brutus Beefcake at Summerslam, an eight-man tag where he was eliminated by DQ. Finally since Vince knew the movie was a bust and wouldn't sell on PPV by it self he sold the PPV the match/the movie which included a steel cage match between Hogan & Beefcake vs. Savage & Zeus. Rumors say had No Holds Barred been a success, the main event for WrestleMania VI would have been Hulk Hogan vs. Zeus.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Personal Reflection Dept.</span> Still the worst time I've ever had in a movie theatre, and that counts times I can't recount for legal reasons. Imagine a theatre full of loud, obnoxious twelve year-olds who are one hundred percent convinced that A. pro-wrestling is real and B. so is everything happening on the screen, and they have some say in the manner. It didn't resemble a filmgoing experience so much as a group of adolescents that all simulaneously heard their first fart joke... and stretched out to two hours. There is one scene in the movie, one I am only half-sure happened. I have a memory of seeing it on the screen and it was haunting to behold but I almost think it must have been some weird hallucination brought upon by the gaggle of pre-teen rioters in the crowd. I remember a scene where the Hulkster and his smart and prudish but sexy and obviously-oh-so-wanting-a-piece-of-the-Hulkamanic lawyer have to share a bed and so they dvide the thing with a sheet - something that had been going on ever since Jack Tripper shared an apartment with Joyce DeWitt and that skank who shills the Thighmaster. The lawyer wakes up in the middle of the night to the feeling of the bed shaking, looks over the sheet to see Hulk pleasuring himself. Please tell me I didn't hallucinate this or I fear I may have to commit myself and recommend that the white coats throw away the key. Oddly enough, I met Hulk a few weeks back. Very low-key, just waited on him at my business and sent him on his way. Didn't want to make a scene because hell, his son's a maniac behind the wheel, the daughter's a pop tart and his wife seems to be a real bitch. He's had a rough year and it's not his fault. Had I been more bold or had more senses on me, I probably would have said to him point blank, "Help me out here - I saw you beat off in 35 mm projection, yes?" How could that not have gone over well?<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjakvY036p9lE5MSr5oLoCKrZxSCQUNdgq4BVXvYVhm3qo3y07ixnjeqSCD-ACx9UzVdH3dtHOsHwFOQ5ucQcJ95cc6tf1IRZA0EOFlqQ0UyG2z_k-NWBGuSQ9hmZ4O8Yp0KFSMiPluIcM/s1600-h/not_of_this_earth2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 127px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjakvY036p9lE5MSr5oLoCKrZxSCQUNdgq4BVXvYVhm3qo3y07ixnjeqSCD-ACx9UzVdH3dtHOsHwFOQ5ucQcJ95cc6tf1IRZA0EOFlqQ0UyG2z_k-NWBGuSQ9hmZ4O8Yp0KFSMiPluIcM/s200/not_of_this_earth2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280279510009397650" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/chooser.php?show=Not%20of%20This%20Earth%201988&total=180"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOT OF THIS EARTH (1988)</span></span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Jim Wynorski (<span style="font-style: italic;">Chopping Mall</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Return of Swamp Thing</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Vampirella</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Bare Wench Project 1-4</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Traci Lords (<span style="font-style: italic;">Cry-Baby</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">New Wave Hookers</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Adventures of Tracy Dick: the Case of the Missing Stiff</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Tailhouse Rock</span>), Arthur Roberts (<span style="font-style: italic;">Revenge of the Ninja</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Hammerhead</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Countess Dracula's Orgy of Blood</span>), Roger Lodge (<span style="font-style: italic;">Blind Date</span>), Rebecca Perle (<span style="font-style: italic;">Tightrope</span>), Lenny Juliano (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Bare Wench Project 1-3</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Vampirella</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Cheerleader Massacre</span>), Ace Mask (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Return of Swamp Thing</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Transylvania Twist</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> When a mysterious stranger (Arthur Roberts) arrives in town, he immediately hires Nadine Story (Traci Lords) as his nurse. Although the pay is great, her suspicions are aroused when his blood transfusions become more and more frequent. After some creative detective work, our hero finds out her boss is really a space vampire...and the chase is on! The thirsty visitor even threatens to transport Nadine back to his own planet. But Nadine has a few surprises in store for this enterprising alien as she brings her talents to the forefront and fight back during the thrilling climax. Mr. Johnson is a real dick, and the pun is absolutely intended because I'm just that immature. He's a stoic guy in a business suit who seems to have a strange hold over Dr. Rochelle (Ace Mask). The good doctor assigns his nurse Nadine (Traci Lords) to move into Johnson's house and supply him with regular blood transfusions. Turns out Mr. Johnson is a space vampire from the planet Davannah. He's trying to save his people by doing some heavy research. The people of Davannah need our blood to survive and if that means Johnson has to murder the odd strip-o-gram or vaccum cleaner salesman then what the hell. Nadine uses her considerable assets to solve the mystery. She also teams up with a cop who is such a great detective that he doesn't ask why a jailbait pornstar is working as a live-in nurse.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: Traci Lords' first mainstream motion picture. She was the subject of the biggest controversy to ever rock the adult film world. She starred in dozens of adult films and was the industry's top star, until it was discovered that of her dozens of films, only one was made when she was over eighteen. Radio ads for the film featured an announcement, "Traci Lords is Not of This Earth!" followed by one of Traci's soundbites from the film, "And I don't screw around!" This is also to this date the only non-adult film Traci has appeared nude in.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: The opening credits feature a montage of clips from various other Roger Corman movies, including <span style="font-style: italic;">Battle Beyond the Stars</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Galaxy of Terror</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Forbidden World</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Battle Beyond the Sun</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Humanoids frm the Deep</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Pirahna</span>. Sample footage from each of these movies appears numerous times throughout the movie as filler footage, as well as two full-length scenes from <span style="font-style: italic;">Hollywood Boulevard</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Humanoids from the Deep</span>.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span>: The reason for the great amount of stock footage is the strange way the film came about. Roger Corman and Jim Wynorski had a bet concerning the films Corman had directed in the 1950s. It was wagered that Wynorski could not remake one of them in the same amount of time. Wynorski matched <span style="font-style: italic;">Not Of This Earth</span>'s original ten day shooting schedule.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 4</span>: Traci isn't the only "what the hell are they doing here?" person in the cast. If you don't recognize Roger Lodge from his acting oveure, maybe you recognize him as the old fill-in host on E!'s <span style="font-style: italic;">Talk Soup</span> or more likely as the host for the syndicated TV show, <span style="font-style: italic;">Blind Date</span>. Be sure to check out the scene where Lodge is no doubt trying to occupy himself in the background while Ace Mask talks on the phone. Being a police officer, that means he has props to play with, right? So, marvel as Lodge starts playing with his handcuffs and gun.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 5</span>: A lot of the people in the cast worked with Jim Wynorski before and after this production. Arthur Roberts, Lemmy Luciano and Ace Mask are all recurring players in Wynorski's films. You can also see a humorous cameo by Monique Gabrielle, who had previously appeared in a dual role in Wynorski's <span style="font-style: italic;">Deathstalker II</span> (Still by far the best of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Deathstalker</span> films - and yes, I've seen them all multiple times).<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Personal Reflection Dept.</span> No sane person would ever defend kiddieporn. That said, I also don't buy that Traci Lords was purely an innocent bystander absorbed by the nasty world of adult entertainment and that hundreds of people knew the truth all along. Look, in looking at this, I realize there is virtually no way to make this sound good. After all, it is more than plausable that an industry had built itself up into a false sense of legal immunity and opened the door for a scandal that conintues to haunt it to this day. On the other hand, certain facts of the case, the lack of any substantial criminal prosecution and the reputation of one future John Waters co-star makes the whole thing stink a little.

Site May Experience a Few Hiccups... Mass Suicides InevitableOh, that wacky unexpected internet. Here, I had a brilliant, funny and (typical for me) very late piece all worked up over Jazz's brand new You Pick the Grabs feature at HCC. And what happens? Like Keyser Soze - poof, it's gone and taking do-nothing roles just to pickup a paycheck. Well, maybe not that second part.<br /><br />Actually, there shouldn't be too much interruption. But just in case there is, Jazz has dropped in a note to say there may be a few "blips" over the next few days. Also as mentioned, some features, including the new You Pick the Grabs section have been temporarily disabled so no one's input is lost in the move. Everything will be back up and running in a few days' time.<br /><br />To help cappers through this time of crisis, I have attached a picture of a scantly-clad, morbidly obese nightmare clown.

When the bank discovers money is missing from their vaults, Hope and the family have to evade the police. Baby-sitter Phyllis Diller makes nice with dumb cop Jonathan Winters and tries to hide Hope's whereabouts from him. And just when you thought nothing could be more terrifying than having Phyllis Diller watch your kids, you should also know that Jonathan Winters has a dual role, in which he plays his own mother.

Fortunately, he takes one of the little buggers with 'em. Unfortunately, they are the only two people on the dangerous planet and thus must learn to get along.

My guess is that filmmakers thought Barry Soddenfeld and Roland Emmerich would be as beloved as Speilberg and James Cameron and that's why they are name-checked. Ooopsie. At least you get to see Jon Stewart with a pencil in his eye.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1:</span> The screenplay is by Kevin Williamson, Flavor of the Minute in the mid-90s. Because he wrote both <span style="font-style: italic;">Scream </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">I Know What You Did Last Summer</span>, Williamson was responsible for the "slasher-lite" craze.

He fights evil, kills criminal masterminds, loves the ladies and can fit into tiny compartments. Oh yeah, did I mention Weng Weng is a dwarf? In what was no doubt intended as some serious forward-thinking filmmaking, Weng Weng was primed to be a major action star in his native land and the films are played mostly straight... which is not to say they aren't horrible and hilarious in all the wrong ways. In this film, Agent 00 goes up against the evil Mr. Giant (wow...), who has kidnapped a brilliant scientist and plan to use the scientist's N-Bomb (which remarkably does not mean he is taking over the world with a racial slur - I mean, it would have almost fit with the rest of the film, right?) to bring the world to it's knees. And you thought capping <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/index.php?do=add_form&loca=080621/images&pickgrab=1214114400">The Crippled Masters </a>earned you a spot in Hell.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span> There were many films with Weng Weng, and many included the same cast and crew.

Other films in his oveure include <span style="font-style: italic;">D'Wild Weng Weng</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Da Best In Da West</span> (the Phillipines were years ahead of us in hip hop lingo) and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Cute... the Sexy 'n the Tiny</span>.

The guys who would get strapped in to their specially designed cars and race around the track were usurped in the redneck pride department by guys would get into boxier-looking cars and race around a track. Because in NASCAR, we don't drive your Moon Patrol cars, hippie - we drive boxes, just like in America. Well, Alex Furlong (Estevez) is a pretty big deal in Formula One, but just like a Formula One driver dies in a fiery crash... Oh snap, just before he is to die, he is "freejacked," meaning his body is transported into the future. Of course, he was supposed to be brain dead by then (Gee, what else would you call the <span style="font-style: italic;">Mighty Ducks</span> films? Oh Travis, you are such a card!), but before they can give him the R.P. McMurphy Special, he escapes a runs across the dystopian urban decay of the future. The guy following him is played by Mick Jagger, probably during one of the many times throughout history when Keith Richards wasn't speaking to him.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1:</span> There were reports that Anthony Hopkins wanted to be in the film, so he could meet Mick Jagger. While cool, this doesn't make a lot of sense. They don't share the screen together.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2:</span> David Johansen is better known (and rightfully so) as the lead singer of the classic glam/punk rock outfit, The New York Dolls. He also briefly had success in the 1980s as Buster Poindexter.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Personal Reflection Dept</span>.</span> I used a lot of footage from this film for some of my short-form music videos, back in the day. I believe I used some of the footage for a version of Nine Inch Nails' "Wish" which showed up in a compilation for cable access called <span style="font-style: italic;">Nothing Sacred</span>. There was to be a sequel called <span style="font-style: italic;">Nothing Sacred II: the Ultimate Seduction</span>, of which the centerpiece was a piece called "Industry and Seduction," again using some of its footage from this film. You will never see that. It was erased by some dickhead witout my knowledge, because he needed a blank VHS tape to record a football game.

As his friends gather for a party, he conjures the spirit of said warlock, along with two dwarves and the slimy little puppets of the title.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1 </span>Although mainly accused to being a <span style="font-style: italic;">Gremlins </span>knock-off (which it may very well be), the film reportedly began life in 1983 as a project called <span style="font-style: italic;">Beasties</span>. It was to be directed by Charles Band (whose Empire Pictures wound up distributing the film) with effects by Stan Winston. Winston went on to do other projects and the creature effects were ultimately handled by John Carl Buechler.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2 </span>Bercovici spends most of his time acting.

Enter Jack Sutton, an American who arrives in Rio having just stolen $10 million in cash. He is trying to evade the gangster Sir Masius (George Sanders) and his masked henchmen. But he also runs afoul of Sumitra's heavily-armed Amazon succubi who are plotting nothing less than world domination. A film that may have had people around the world rethinking this whole mod thing, it features lots of pastel fashions and Buck Rogers-like sets as our lumpy hero runs afoul of the scantly clad to unclad Amazon warriors. A trippy combination of James Bond,<span style="font-style: italic;"> Barbarella</span> and pulp adventure.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span> Director Jess Franco (or Jesus Franco, as he is sometimes known), often characterized by his loose, arty but "jazz-like" approach to filmmaking, is perhaps the most prolific exploitation director of all-time. His filmography is estimated to stand somewhere between 180 and 200 films. Truth be told, even Franco isn't sure since he has shot footage for films that may or not have been completed, and each of his films exists in multiple different cuts in different territories of the world.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span> Case in point, although the character in this print is Sumitra, she is Sumuru in most prints. This film is a spin-off of Sax Rohmer's Sumuru character, the daughter of Fu Manchu. This film has at least twelve alternate titles, the next most common being <span style="font-style: italic;">The Seven Secrets of Sumuru,</span> which restores the original character's name.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span> This is a pulp production, stressing espionage and mad super-criminals. Much of the cast were assembled based on their success in previous films of this type, making it a reunion of sorts. For example, George Sanders played both the Saint and the Falcon in a series of low-budget films in the 1930s and 1940s. Richard Wyler appeared on <span style="font-style: italic;">The Man from Interpol</span>. Eaton also played Sumuru or an approximation therof in <span style="font-style: italic;">The Million Eyes of Sumuru</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Blood of Fu Manchu</span>. Herbert Fleischmann played one of the most iconic supercriminals, Dr. Mabuse when that series was revived in the 1960s.<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold;">Personal Reflection Dept. </span>Some love Jess Franco, others despise him. I think he's a genius. How to sum up his approach to directing? Imagine a Renaissance painter hired to do pulp-type work. Now imagine that painter has been possessed by the spirit of a crazed jazzman.

They may just trying to avenge their brother's death in the only way they know how. Brian Kelly (Christian Slater) is a disaffected youth who only cares about skateboarding with his friends. He grows up fast when his adopted brother Vinh (Art Chudabala) is discovered dead from an apparant suicide. Brian believes Vinh was murdered and works with a local cop in exposing a criminal enterprise. The cop is then assigned cases in which he plays second banana to a BMX racer trying to combat deforestation. Okay, I made that last bit up but it would have made a logical sequel.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span> In addition to the cast featuring Tony Hawk, the film employed a few notable skateboarding celebs of the day. Mike McGill and Rodney Mullen served as Slater's stunt doubles. All skating sequences were filmed by pro-skater Stacy Peralta.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span> From the IMDB - "Brian's friends see him on a bike instead of his skateboard, they joke about how he'll be riding around on a scooter next. In The Legend of Billie Jean, Christian Slater played a character whose most prized possession was a scooter.<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold;">Personal Reflection Dept.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>When this came out, some old friends of mine insisted it was the best film they'd seen in years.

It was the charming story of an inventor who discovered a strange creature that defied evolutionary science and promptly claimed ownership of it, giving it to his teenage son. Well a few years later, furry little Gizmo is being experimented on in the mammoth Clamp Towers (owned by a hybrid of Donald Trump, Ted Turner, Rupert Murdoch who in the most awe-inspiring portrayal ever, is not evil), where little Billy Peltzier now works. The Gremlins get out and now exist in many new forms, including a smart Gremlin voiced by Tony Randall.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span> If Joe Dante, noted awesome superfan of cult cinema, had some references to his favorite films in the original <span style="font-style: italic;">Gremlins</span>, he went batshit crazy this time around.

This is a homage to <span style="font-style: italic;">A Bucket of Blood</span>, which stars Miller as a wannabe artist who creates a sensation in the art world with his "sculptures", created by the same method..<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span> The uplifting end of the world video scene was included by the filmmakers when they find out that one the news networks actually have such a video prepare to run in case of the end of the world. This video apparently still exists and still ready to run at the final hour. In some respects, this could be seen as a respectful call for togetherness. Or you could always say it's a callous way to look like the top of the heap in case they have A.C. Nielsen ratings in heaven.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 4</span> In a corridor of the Clamp Tower, one nameplate says "Vectorscope Labs". This is a reference to the movie Innerspace, also directed by Joe Dante<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 5 </span>Okay, on a personal note as a horror geek, I love this story. Quoting from the IMDB, "Christopher Lee has stated that upon being cast in the film, the first thing he did was apologize to Joe Dante for appearing in <span style="font-style: italic;">Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf</span>, the notoriously horrible Dante-less sequel to his film, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Howling</span>. Good for you, Chris. And much appreciated.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 6 </span>Leonard Maltin appears in <span style="font-style: italic;">Gremlins 2</span> repeating his criticisms of Gremlins, while he holds a video version of the movie. However, his rant is cut short when gremlins pounce on him as a result. In his annual Movie Guide he gives <span style="font-style: italic;">Gremlins 2</span> three stars (out of a possible four) and refers to this scene as a "gratuitous cameo", though he doesn't say he's actually in the movie.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFp96SYz3WrNnkym-bk_XaqOBt-I1CHK1sVFAEy8Az7W4vNeEI6M8qGujpCCoH6Hucuab5wj4jEo-u0G5dPqAn2kmcR0CaXkAvDWyvl0YzSnBdos7g90CNGLnR_occJuMcXFccW0bbc1Q/s1600-h/hawktheslayer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFp96SYz3WrNnkym-bk_XaqOBt-I1CHK1sVFAEy8Az7W4vNeEI6M8qGujpCCoH6Hucuab5wj4jEo-u0G5dPqAn2kmcR0CaXkAvDWyvl0YzSnBdos7g90CNGLnR_occJuMcXFccW0bbc1Q/s200/hawktheslayer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270919110915976706" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HAWK THE SLAYER (1980)</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Terry Marcel (<span style="font-style: italic;">Jane and the Lost City</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Last Seduction II</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Jack Palance, Jack Terry, Patrick Magee (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Masque of the Red Death</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Marat/Sade</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">A Clockwork Orange</span>), Annette Crosbie, Catriona MacColl (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Beyond</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">City of the Living Dead</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The House By the Cemetery</span>), Harry Andrews (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Hill</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Night They Raided Minsky's</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Nicholas and Alexandra</span>), Roy Kinnear, Graham Stark<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> Hawk the Slayer, after seeing both his father and bride die at the hands of his malevolent brother, Voltan, sets out for revenge and the chance to live up to his title.

It's a Dungeons and Dragons film starring Jack Palance, Patrick Magee, the gal from those kickass Lucio Fulci films and a sword with a glowing Superball at the hilt. What else do you want?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span> While filming <span style="font-style: italic;">The Return of the Musketeers</span>, character actor Roy Kinnear fell from his horse and broke his pelvis.

They are joined by Catskill, a robot with the personality of a bad stand-up comic. Along the way, they also build a child in their bid to start a family.

Interestingly enough, those are the two books Bakshi reportedly based his film on, hence the confusion and the reason why Bakshi's film is often used as a bridge between the two TV movies.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcMUlQqS3OBfPqTJ67dx0_OyEPId3Z_3smuVduBDyLbTwCjktP8BKSG-fVpLz1v13_KdfWAMqZx8Yb1vMz-6mKukZ8CW3mzccxwv3MloVt0ZfrJyJv9Mvz6mHC_uCpC8rN_KN1Azl9fBk/s1600-h/horrorshow2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 111px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcMUlQqS3OBfPqTJ67dx0_OyEPId3Z_3smuVduBDyLbTwCjktP8BKSG-fVpLz1v13_KdfWAMqZx8Yb1vMz-6mKukZ8CW3mzccxwv3MloVt0ZfrJyJv9Mvz6mHC_uCpC8rN_KN1Azl9fBk/s200/horrorshow2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270924722580862194" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE HORROR SHOW (1989)</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> James Issac (<span style="font-style: italic;">Jason X</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Skinwalkers</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Lance Henriksen, Brion James (<span style="font-style: italic;">Blade Runner</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Player</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Fifth Element</span>), Rita Taggart (<span style="font-style: italic;">Straight Time</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Die Laughing</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Weeds</span>), Dede Pfeiffer (<span style="font-style: italic;">Vamp</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Allnighter</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Up Close & Personal</span>), Aron Eisenberg (<span style="font-style: italic;">Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Pterodactyl Woman from Beverly Hills</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Trek: Deep Space Nine</span>), Thom Bray (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Prowler</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Prince of Darkness</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Riptide</span>), Matt Clark, David Oliver, Terry Alexander, Lewis Arquette, Lawrence Tierney<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> Lucas McCarthy (Lance Henriksen) finally tracks down the serial killer, Meat Cleaver Max (Brion James).

The Krug were dismatched by the evil sorcerer Gailan (Ray Liotta) who now holds Farmer's wife (Claire Forlani) and friends hostage. Farmer reluctantly joins the forces of King Konreid (Burt Reynolds) in order to defeat Gailan once and for all. But Gailan only put the kingdo min jeopardy because of the duplicious Duke Fallow (Matthew Lillard in what is surely about the worst performance ever seen in a theatrical film), who wants to seize the throne for himself. Then again, Farmer is not all he seems either. This is Uwe Boll's answer to <span style="font-style: italic;">Lord of the Rings</span>. Peter Jackson's response? "Huh? Did you hear something?"<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact </span>Uwe Boll intended this film to be one sprawling four hour epic that would be released in two parts. He was pressured to cut it down to one film.<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold;">Personal Reflections Dept.</span> I fucking love Uwe Boll! Seriously, you can see some hastily written reviews for his early-ish films <span style="font-style: italic;">House of the Dead</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Alone in the Dark</span>, which as the then-editor of <a href="http://www.horrorexpress.com/">Horror Express</a>, I was duty-bound to pay good money to see. Over the next year or so, I kept covering the immense hubris of this man and all his crazy stunts and like many out there, I couldn't get my head around it. Then, a few weeks before BloodRayne opened, I found myself sadistically looking forward to the chance of seeing another horrendous Uwe Boll movie. And remarkably, the film wasn't bad. It's not <span style="font-style: italic;">Citizen Kane</span>, but it's entertaining. And I began re-evaluating Boll's other films. Yes, they are bad movies for the most part. But they seem to have this odd chemistry of 50% "Wow, that's pretty cool" and 50% "Dear God, I can't believe someone funded this crap." Making sense of his films is fruitless. And I now laugh at the people who rip their hair out because I don't know maybe they don't think he'll get the true nuance of say <span style="font-style: italic;">Far Cry</span> (which he is working on right now). And I say, "Lighten up!" this guy is one of the great hucksters of our time. An endlessly entertaining personality along the lines of Herschell Gordon Lewis, Bert I. Gordon, William Castle and the like. And if he's upsetting you, that's the idea. He's messing with you! Some people get it, like <span style="font-style: italic;">Rue Morgue</span>'s Chris Alexander who is one of the fighters to get pummeled by Boll in the ring. Others just will never understand. Uwe Boll is part of my chemical makeup now. Long may his freak flag fly.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGxk286jOqrq1tRWRs4QkSSTf3MscwF9UidDnGHR17e4aGWbZZRVJxppjYHqf2MpA4SdNKZZo0GvliyQwmjGxASqsIDBmshyphenhyphen5n7mHlndK1tNb3whf2evRrjQJSRYYbIE0LIqlXoItT5M/s1600-h/incredible_two_headed_transplant.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 132px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGxk286jOqrq1tRWRs4QkSSTf3MscwF9UidDnGHR17e4aGWbZZRVJxppjYHqf2MpA4SdNKZZo0GvliyQwmjGxASqsIDBmshyphenhyphen5n7mHlndK1tNb3whf2evRrjQJSRYYbIE0LIqlXoItT5M/s200/incredible_two_headed_transplant.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270928410237682722" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE INCREDIBLE 2-HEADED TRANSPLANT (1971)</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Anthony M.

Of course, things go horribly wrong and the two-headed creature escapes to terrorize the countryside. Listen, if I've said it once I've said it a million times.

The guy has tons of industries but also gives back to the community, goes on adventures, enjoys a little harmless hellraising every now and then and just rocks. Now, I have to say Tony Stark. He also has tons of industries, goes on adventures and I think we can agree Robert Downey Jr. did more than his share of hellraising. As far as giving back to the community, he has developed a conscience and instead of just giving to Greenpeace or something, he becomes a cybernetic warrior who kicks the crap out of terrorists and corporate greedheads alike. Awesome! Also, since this is the movie, we can focus on the cool Tony Stark not the one who turned into a douchebag for that whole Civil War arc.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span> The script was not completely prepared when filming began, since the filmmakers were more focused on the story and the action, so the dialogue was mostly ad-libbed throughout filming; Jon Favreau acknowledged this made the film feel more natural. Some scenes were shot with two cameras to capture lines improvised on the spot; Robert Downey Jr. would ask for many takes of one scene since he wanted to try something new.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span> Ghostface Killah, who has been a long-time fan of the Iron Man comics (he uses the aliases "Ironman" and "Tony Starks", titled his 1996 album "Ironman" and samples clips of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Iron Man </span>cartoons from the 1960s, was given a cameo as a Dubai tycoon. However, his scene was cut from the final film. Favreau apologized to Ghostface and made it up to him by using his "We Celebrate" video in the film.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span> Tired of people getting their properties wrong, Marvel Comics financed this film themselves and were involved in all facets of the production. This is a big change from the state of the company in the mid-1990s, when it looked like Marvel along with the rest of the major comic book companies would go under.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 4</span> Comic book writer Stan Lee, as always, has a cameo in the live-action film of his creation Iron Man. He plays the man with three blondes whom Tony Stark mistakes for Hugh Hefner. He later mentioned that it was his most fun cameo. This is possibly because it's the closest a comics geek has ever been to an orgy. Believe me, I know.

Cost a reported $55 million (an almost unheard of sum in 1987) and earned only $14 million at the box office.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmNLtWn41vv4EZT7yFAf8cXz_dJ1uCohyR5mXHFUqPFCH5YZGBcqLgi9DRDyf77JwhEwg1PGjouYaUGgq2dQCCsFeVRbf_D8XFrOkSq4qRqTw7FPsZNlsGsV2CT0QULlhBzOBMNqTBsuo/s1600-h/island_of_dr_moreau_ver2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 135px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmNLtWn41vv4EZT7yFAf8cXz_dJ1uCohyR5mXHFUqPFCH5YZGBcqLgi9DRDyf77JwhEwg1PGjouYaUGgq2dQCCsFeVRbf_D8XFrOkSq4qRqTw7FPsZNlsGsV2CT0QULlhBzOBMNqTBsuo/s200/island_of_dr_moreau_ver2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272485207809953906" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE ISLAND OF DR.

Welles novel, Edward (David Thewlis) is rescued from certain death by the inhabitants of a strange island. Run by the eccentric Dr. Moreau, who is allergic to the sun in a plot twist that has nothing to do with anything else. He meets the other inhabitants of the island, which include a beautiful girl (Fairuza Balk) and the odd gameskeeper (Val Kilmer). It quickly becomes evident that Moreau has blended animal and human DNA in order to create a race of animal-men who plot a massive coup. It's sort of like when everyone rose up and stopped watching Heroes after the first season. Yes, exactly like that.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span> John Frankenheimer, one of my favorite directors, has said he wasn't happy with this film. This was the only film he did purely for the money. He was a last minute replacement for Richard Stanley (<span style="font-style: italic;">Hardware</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Dust Devil</span>), who was fired after refusing to bow to studio pressures. The lead actor, David Thewlis was also a last minute replacement. The part was originally written for Rob Morrow (<span style="font-style: italic;">Quiz Show</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Northern Exposure</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Numbers</span>). It remains unclear why Morrow left the production, but the rumor was that he was holding out for more money at the time. Highly unlikely - if Marlon Brando and the then-hot Val Kilmer wouldn't bring in box office, why would the guy from <span style="font-style: italic;">Northern Exposure</span>? Thewlis had such a lousy time making the film, he has refused to watch the finished film.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span> Here's a fun legend that may or may not be true. Original director Richard Stanley was said to be made up as one of the animen so he could view the production from which he was fired from the background. He reportedly unmasked himself at the wrap party. Sounds pretty outlandish, but somewhat keeping with Stanley's character. Do not feel bad for Stanley, by the way. He has found new life and new love over the years as a talented and acclaimed documentry filmmaker, who flirts with fiction filmmaking every once in a while. He joined fellow cult filmmakers Nacho Cerda (Aftermath) and Karim Hussein (Subconscious Cruelty) - whom he met at the Fantasia Film Festival - in writing <span style="font-style: italic;">The Abandoned</span>.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span> There was originally a part written for Barbara Steele in which she would have played Dr. Moreau's ex-wife. Don't know who Barbara Steele is? <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shame on you!</span> Run out right now and rent/buy copies of Mario Bava's <span style="font-style: italic;">Black Sunday</span> and Antonio Margheriti's <span style="font-style: italic;">Castle of Blood</span> (a.k.a. <span style="font-style: italic;">Danza Macabra</span>). Once you've done that, run out and find copies of Riccardo Freda's <span style="font-style: italic;">The Horrible Dr. Hitchcock</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Ghost</span>, Roger Corman's <span style="font-style: italic;">The Pit and the Pendulum</span>, Mario Caiano's <span style="font-style: italic;">Nightmare Castle</span> (a.k.a. <span style="font-style: italic;">The Faceless Monster</span> - also you should get one of the restored versions and not the washed out public domain print), Jonathan Demme's <span style="font-style: italic;">Caged Heat</span>, David Cronenberg's <span style="font-style: italic;">Shivers </span>and Joe Dante's <span style="font-style: italic;">Pirahna</span>.

First up, Discoboy sent me this stuff forever ago but I neglected to put it up. That was my bad. Fortunately, he has given us three sites to keep up with. Being a rabid film geek, especially of cult-ish items, I'm happy to report on the <a href="http://desukomoviespot.blogspot.com/">Desuko Movie Spot</a>. Recently, he's done reviews of SURF PARTY, THE BODY SNATCHER, SLACKER UPRISING, Browning's DRACULA, THE UNDYING MONSTER and Spike Lee's SUMMER OF SAM. But DBoy doesn't just sit and watch movies all the time, he watches internet videos as well. If you head over to <a href="http://desukotube.blogspot.com/">DesukoTube</a>, you can see the latest batch he's grabbed. As I write this, he's in the middle of New Music Week so it might be a good idea for me to head over there and listen to something released after 1998. If you want to get to know the boy behind the disco, then you can head over to <a href="http://idle-musings.blogspot.com/">Eric's House</a>, Discoboy's personal blog.<br /><br />Hard to believe we didn't have Agent Moldy's site up, but we do now. Even more amazing, she's finally updated the damn thing. So by all means, head over to <a href="http://diabah.farvista.net/">Agent Moldy's Hunk 'o Cheese</a> to see the new caps and stuff.<br /><br />CrabOfDoom will tell you of the joys of finding small treasures at <a href="http://crabofdoom.deviantart.com/">deviantART</a>. As always, there's always some cool art there too.<br /><br />While I have sometimes missed the updates for Sharblorp, InsideOutMan has been a busy little monster at his new blog, <a href="http://levitude.blogspot.com/">Levitude</a>. In the latest post, he shows the fun that can be had with local news puff pieces.<br /><br />Seriously, there are few personal blogs as fascinating to me as <a href="http://nyssa23.livejournal.com/">Nyssa23's Garden of Earthly Delights</a>. Really.<br /><br />Reynard did a capper update to <a href="http://www.chameleon.net/%7Ereyfox/">Reyfox.net</a>. Check it out, laugh a little, get some face time with the cappers. And not because he's one of the only cappers who really appreciated by "Mr. T as classical cellist" cap.<br /><br />Seltaeb has a few more videos on his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Seltaeb9091">YouTube channel</a>.<br /><br />Generik has been unable to wipe the shit-eating grin off his face since the election (or was that me?). But just like myself, he's pissed off about the continuing abolishing of civil rights thanks to all this Proposition 8 bullshit. On a personal note, we had an anti-gay marriage bill in Florida that passed despite there already being another ammendment that passed just a few years before. It's really disgusting the lengths some people will go to in order to deprive one another of happiness all for some false sense of morality and self-righteousness. Anyway, you can check out the fine things Gen has to say at <a href="http://generik.blogspot.com/">The Generik Brand</a>.<br /><br />You can check out the things that strike UnReality strange at <a href="http://www.unreality.net/weblog/">Occasional Fish</a>. Also, why haven't you pre-ordered a copy of <a href="http://www.kaleidotrope.net/">Kaleidotr</a><a href="http://www.kaleidotrope.net/">ope </a>yet?<br /><br />And of course, there are the often updated sites like <a href="http://www.captiongallery.com/wcff/wcff.htm">Will Cap for Food</a>, <a href="http://lustforlunch.com/is/">Inventing Situations</a>, <a href="http://capperblog.blogspot.com/">the Cappers Blog</a>, <a href="http://sector7g-zz9.com/wpt/">Wasting Precious Time</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/horrorexpress">my Myspace page</a>.

The week of a presidential election, anything I plan to get done, never gets done. Hence, the lack of updates for the past week or so. So, if any of you just couldn't continue about your daily business without reading your beloved Shablorp, I can only say - "Sorry mom, and thanks for the support."<br /><br />I have to post some much-overdue updates to cappers' pages and also another exciting entry in the Your Queue and You series. But before I do, we must address the 2nd Annual Masquerade Ball that was held on November 1st. Many of your favorite cappers showed up in costumes, some more than one. Those who did have more than one costume usually had good reason. Many showed up on Halloween night and we unmasked. So, when the actual Masquerade happened the next night, they had to don another disguise. Others (such as myself) were just jackasses.<br /><br />But perhaps the most brilliant use of the multiple costume came from <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=HanoverF">HanoverF</a>. He got the bright idea of using thinly-veiled disguises for some prominent cappers. So, when people made with what they thought was easy guesswork, they never suspected that, to coin a phrase, Han shot first. Han took the form of <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=BraveSirRobin">BraveSirRobin</a>, <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Cancer">Cancer </a>(meaning that while many of people unfortunately get cancer, Han was the only one thoughtful enough to give it back), <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Crustacean%20of%20Dairai">Crustacian of Darai</a>, <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Flower%20Child">Flower Child</a>, <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Funkcola">Funkcola</a>, a Sigur Ros-like handle that translates into <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=IHeartMulder">IHeartMulder</a>, <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Inhabitant">Inhabitant</a>, <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Pedantic%20Asshole">Pedantic Asshole</a>, <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Rupert%20Pupkin">Rupert Pupkin</a> and <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Smile%20Time">Smile Time</a> (get your 5th season of ANGEL out in order to catch the ref). It was beautifully played by Han. After all, say I were to say "Rupert Pupkin can't be TravisBickle," I would have been outting myself.

Instead of my usual <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=TravisBickle">TravisBickle </a>guise, I actually had three costumes. On October 31st, I was <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Waldemar">Waldemar</a>. This was named after the character Waldemar Daninsky, a featured character in a dozen or so Spanish horror films starring Paul Naschy. He's a werewolf who fights his curse of lycanthropy while crossing paths with vampires, mad scientists, yetis and more than one buxom female. Why so much detail? Because if I have my say, you'll be capping some of those movies one day soon. The next night, I was two people. I showed up as <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=Ron%20Jeremy">Ron Jeremy</a>, but I figured this would be guessed right away (and after someone incorrectly guessed I was Occ, it was).

If you made it to the board last night, you know that some people already had their costumes out. Some cappers were unmasked and promised they would return in new costumes tonight. If you haven't done so yet, make yourself a fake handle to wear to the Masquerade Ball tonight. Yes, we all know its November 1st, just don't be difficult.Scott W.

The Movies... A-DWhat films we see on <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption">HCC </a>are largely determined by the votes in the <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/queue.php">queue</a>. In a bid to familiarize people more with what the <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/queue.php">queue </a>has to offer, we're starting a new feature here at Shablorp - the condescendingly titled, Your Queue and You.<br /><br />What this will do is give completely original and new descriptions (and by that, I mean cribbed either from the liner notes or IMDB) to all the stuff in the queue. Now, there's hundreds of items in there so we're only going to be doing a little bit at a time. Hopefully, by the time its done, you'll have something as useless (or do I mean "indispensable?") as you could want in order to give you a detailed rundown of everything in the queue.<br /><br />We're going to start with the movies. Specifically, going A to D first.

The director is unfortunately given no input to the final product as the studio heads and other parties insist on making their own changes.. When the final film turns out to be horrible, the director would like to take his name off of it. Unfortunately, his name already happens to be Alan Smithee, the DGA-approved name for directors who don't want to take credit for their work. Not seeing a way out, Smithee steals the prints of the film and becomes notorious. Filled with lots of celebrity cameos.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: The director credit on this film isn't an in-joke but wonderful irony. After the film was re-cut by Joe Eszterhas, original director Arthur Hiller (<span style="font-style: italic;">Love Story</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Silver Streak</span>) removed his name from the project. Hence, the film actually being credited to Alan Smithee. Seeing this statement as just being too damn perfect, the DGA dissolved the Smithee practice following this film. Hence, no more Alan Smithee films.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgafpNEhwp7gB84PtvS5MRcTCUoJU-bKefMwtO388xm6s2BdESDc6YpVT_GV9W3IAv0ogPYOPkpPfEPxLUb46rUT35IOg3Y3x4BNMPP_ybmNZnVooGHESueWtn_sNOMXNJEuuQPvQ9JrnY/s1600-h/Apple,+The+%281980%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 123px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgafpNEhwp7gB84PtvS5MRcTCUoJU-bKefMwtO388xm6s2BdESDc6YpVT_GV9W3IAv0ogPYOPkpPfEPxLUb46rUT35IOg3Y3x4BNMPP_ybmNZnVooGHESueWtn_sNOMXNJEuuQPvQ9JrnY/s200/Apple,+The+%281980%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262421217268143650" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE APPLE (1980)</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Menahem Golan (<span style="font-style: italic;">Enter the Ninja</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Delta Force</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Over the Top</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Catherine Mary Stewart (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Last Starfighter</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Night of the Comet</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Weekend At Bernie's</span>), George Gilmour, Grace Kennedy, Alan Love (<span style="font-style: italic;">Gregory's Girl</span>), Joss Ackland (<span style="font-style: italic;">Lethal Weapon 2</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Hunt for Red October</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Mighty Ducks</span>), Vladek Sheybal (<span style="font-style: italic;">From Russia With Love</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Shogun</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Red Dawn</span>), George S.

Uses the skeleton of the Adam and Eve story with shades of A Star Is Born thrown in for good measure. In the year 1994, two pop-singing youths from Moose Jaw, Canada decide to enter an international talent contest. They are beaten by the rock stars backed by Mr. Boogalow (Vladek Sheybal). No worries, Mr. Boogalow sees a great talent in them. Unfortunately, the world of rock n roll begins to corrupt them and they see how nefarious Mr. Boogalow is - namely that he's, you know... Satan.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: Manahem Golan was one half of the Golan-Globus team that ran the Cannon Group for many years. Golan has directed nearly fifty films, an produced well over 200.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: George S.

Not just any movie, however. Nope, this was a $20 million, two-hour plus epic that helped signal one of the final death throws of disco. It's a sort-of true story of Village People's rise to fame - meaning that Eminem totally stole the idea for 8 Mile from the guy who dressed up as a construction worker. A struggling songwriter teams up with his roommate and lawyer to create a supergroup of six "macho men" and thus, history is made. The obvious is lost on all of them.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: On the red carpet of the premiere, where everyone is set to enthuse about their film, writer/producer Alan Carr instead simply told reporters, "Be kind."<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: Bruce Jenner turned down the role of <span style="font-style: italic;">Superman </span>so he could appear in this film. Since Valerie Perrine was in both <span style="font-style: italic;">Superman </span>and this film, she became the first of many people who would mock Jenner for the rest of his natural born life.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span>: Earned only $2 million at the box office. Do the math, it earned one-tenth of what producers spent on it, making it one of the costliest bombs in history.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 4</span>: In 1980, this film appeared on a double-bill with <span style="font-style: italic;">Xanadu</span>, causing one audience member to invent the Golden Raspberry Award (RAZZIE). <span style="font-style: italic;">Can't Stop the Music</span> won its first award for Worst Picture. The rest of the audience present at that screening merely killed themselves.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 5:</span> Olivia Newton-John was originally set to play the part that would eventually go to Valerie Perrine in this film. She chose to do <span style="font-style: italic;">Xanadu </span>instead, meaning that in 1980 she could run, but she couldn't hide from shit disco musicals.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 6</span>: Nancy Walker is not known for her directing efforts. Instead, she is primarily known for her acting roles, including famous roles on <span style="font-style: italic;">Rhoda </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">MacMillon and Wife</span>.

He has two pastimes - playing Russian Roulette and spying on his female tenants from his crawlspace. He tracks each one of his tenants down, captures them and eventually kills them until only one woman remains to bring the fight back to her landlord.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span>: The notoriously eccentric and behaviorally challenged Kinski was such a nightmare on set for David Schmoeller, that it inspired Schmoeller to release the documentary short, <span style="font-style: italic;">Please Kill Mr. Kinski</span>.

They are followed by two trigger happy and mentally challenged alien bounty hunters, one of whom assumes the identity of a Neandethal-looking glam rocker. The bounty hunters, the town drunk and a farming family help save the day from the bloodthirty porcupines.

He's smart, polite and never makes mistakes. But when people come looking for the kid, the truth becomes known. Daryl isn't an ordinary little boy but a robot made to look and act like the perfect child - sort of like Haley Joel Osment in that Speilberg film, but without all the moping. The film somehow ends up with Daryl going Mach 7 in a fighter jet he stole from his handlers and wraps up nicely in about an hour less than that previously mentioned Speilberg film. Then again, the Speilberg film had Ministry.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: D.A.R.Y.L. stands for Data Analysing Robot Youth Lifeform<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: Colleen Camp is known for showing up in many mainstream films and has played more cops than any other actress.

Malt's fortunes begin to change however as he begins to grow a third arm out of his back. Suddenly, Malt is a huge hit. His stand-up still stinks but everyone loves a freak show.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: Director Adam Rifkin designed the movie poster for <span style="font-style: italic;">Encino Man</span>. Years later, he would do his own caveman comedy, <span style="font-style: italic;">Homo Erectus</span>. Ringo Starr put a fatwa out for Rifkin, claiming he stole his thunder.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: Adam Rifkin wrote the script for the recent <span style="font-style: italic;">Planet of the Apes</span> redo. Due to studio shakeups, Rifkin's script was tossed just before pre-production was to begin. The film came out years later under the direction of Tim Burton, but it bears almost no similarity to Rifkin's draft.

When he sleeps, he is transported by the Sandman (Cyril Ritchard) to a magical world where he sees the stories he would later bring to life. Characters showing up in the film include Thumbelina (Patty Duke), the Little Mermaid (Hayley Mills), the Ugly Duckling and so on. This is a feature-length film from the Rankin-Bass studio that created such holiday classics as <span style="font-style: italic;">Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer</span> and the fantasy sequences are done in much the same style. Burl Ives does not appear, since they wouldn't pay him in Scotch.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: Victor Borge, while not known for many of his cinematic output, is known for being one of the world's most famous pianists. He further set himself apart from the pack by creating a brilliant slapstick performance around his musical skills. Reading the screenplay was difficult for Borge due to a nervous page turner.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: Tallulah Bankhead had one of the most interesting careers in film history, due mainly to her refusal to play by the rules (she refused a session on John Barrymore's casting couch, she clashed with filmmakers, she refused to change her behavior to suit studio models, etc.). Hence, there are often large gaps in between her cinematic endeavors. There were no films betwen 1919 and 1928, nor 1932 and 1944, nor 1945 and 1965. In these gaps, she did a little television but focused mainly on the stage, where she became a treasured performer. T<span style="font-style: italic;">he Daydreamer</span> was her last film.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxWcoQsRbpcKEp3ov2XtsmbyOr2Y8Jd1VBUYSVHbbOy_TRPNUWT6mYBy7HDb3wJ2B64fbcs7B5xnrSpotN3H_y-BibyfIi94OHLOljmATZ-drRuikgL1PRXXAo1mgHmufABUl4d8h7zT8/s1600-h/delinquents240.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxWcoQsRbpcKEp3ov2XtsmbyOr2Y8Jd1VBUYSVHbbOy_TRPNUWT6mYBy7HDb3wJ2B64fbcs7B5xnrSpotN3H_y-BibyfIi94OHLOljmATZ-drRuikgL1PRXXAo1mgHmufABUl4d8h7zT8/s200/delinquents240.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262439662363569634" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE DELIINQUENTS (1957)</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Robert Altman<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Tom Laughlin (<span style="font-style: italic;">Born Losers</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Billy Jack</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Master Gunfighter</span>), Peter Miller, Richard Bakalyan, Rosemary Howard, Helen Hawley<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> What we have here is one of the many films that was inspired by the runaway hit from the 1950s, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Blackboard Jungle</span>. This juvenile delinquent, or JV film, involves two young lovers, Scotty and Janice. The two are torn apart by Janice's parents. The boy joins up with a gang of street hoods. Although things start out harmless, they quickly spin out of control and threaten to corrupt not only Scotty but Janice as well.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span>: This was the first film from legendary director Robert Altman. Alfred Hitchcock was reportedly so impressed with the film that he tapped Altman to direct a few episodes of his <span style="font-style: italic;">Alfred Hitchcock Presents</span> television series. This started Altman on a steady path of creating some of the most critically acclaimed television of the day, and eventually becoming one of the most fiercely independent directors of all time.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: McLaughlin is most famous for the Billy Jack movies. The films featured a pacifist hero who tried to make his way through the world in peace, but was often put upon by nasty land barons and corrupt law enforcement who liked to beat up hippie members of a Freedom School. The films had more and more pacifistic messages as the films went on. Hence, in the first film, he shoots someone in the head but in the last only gets into a couple minor brawls. This is a philosophy McLaughlin takes in his business endeavors. He has made a number of unsuccessful runs for the presidency of the United States.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU051rC0EmK4yXfWG79GXRnMJnpgKRbAqVEQqNMrMyByijAzkAt_5Rubydq1ndoMkjMxHx9lrrWwuAXYrC0Jl1-bVEHbAvsaFMW8qYa-qbXWdi1sS38VWspiIMY9fF1Jo2T-KCqauYIeQ/s1600-h/doa_dead_or_alive240.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU051rC0EmK4yXfWG79GXRnMJnpgKRbAqVEQqNMrMyByijAzkAt_5Rubydq1ndoMkjMxHx9lrrWwuAXYrC0Jl1-bVEHbAvsaFMW8qYa-qbXWdi1sS38VWspiIMY9fF1Jo2T-KCqauYIeQ/s200/doa_dead_or_alive240.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262442006889658546" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">DOA: DEAD OR ALIVE (2007)</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Corey Yuen (<span style="font-style: italic;">Yes Madam</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">My Father Is a Hero</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Transporter</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Jamie Pressley (<span style="font-style: italic;">My Name Is Earl</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Not Another Teen Movie</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Torque</span>), Devon Aoki (<span style="font-style: italic;">Sin City</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">2 Fast 2 Furious</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">D.E.B.S.</span>), Holly Valance, Sarah Carter, Natassia Malthe (<span style="font-style: italic;">Elektra</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Skinwalkers</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">BloodRayne II: Deliverance</span>), Kane Kosugi, Eric Roberts (<span style="font-style: italic;">Star 80</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Runaway Train</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Dark Knight</span>), Matthew Marsden, Steve Howey, Kevin Nash, Brian J.

Soon, the main contenders realize that the tournament is a ruse by their tournament master (Eric Roberts who is so hilariously Eric Roberts that he's the most hilarious Eric Roberts around). The master seeks to sap their powers and become an unstoppable force. This is based on a video game that 15% of people play for fighting skills and 80% play to watch CGI anime chicks with big tits bounce around (the other 5% are just stoned).<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span>: Cost $21 million to make, but only took in $480,000 domestically.

Paul Atreides travels to the arid planet Arakis as his father's House takes control of the most precious substance in the universe, the Spice Melange. The mechanical and evil Harkonnen invade and take control of spice production on Arakis. Believing all the Atreides dead, Paul and his mother have instead found refuge in the desert with the religious warrior natives of Arakis. Paul quickly ascends in their ranks and becomes a prophesied warrior messiah. This was Lynch's first and only big budget film.

With this most desirable magical wand she could have the power to rule over the Red Dragons and she would then be able to provide freedom and equality amongst all people. Ridley and Snails are closely followed by Damodar, the cruel assistant of Profion who is longing for the power of the Scepter. Profion wants to get into battle with the Emperess. Whenever Profion would get his hands on the Scepter, the whole empire would then forever live in darkness. The future depends on the braveness of Ridley and Snails..." Basically, you can't figure out the plot with a saving throw, folks.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: Courtney Solomon bought the film rights to the TSR role-playing game when he was just 19 years old.

But when a tornado transports her and Toto (Pepe the King Prawn) to the magical land of Oz, Dorothy meets the Wizard, who promises to make her a superstar -- if she and her wacky new friends, the Scarecrow (Kermit), the Tin Thing (Gonzo), and the Cowardly Lion (Fozzie), can defeat Oz's #1 diabolical diva, the Wicked Witch of the West (Miss Piggy)!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span>: When Kermit the Frog meets the Wizard of Oz he says "Hello Mr Oz.

Dominique Dunne was killed by her boyfriend the year this was released. Julian Beck and Will Sampson of Poltergeist II died in 1985 and 1987. Heather O'Rourke died on the set of Poltergeist III in 1988. Dunne and O'Rourke are buried in the same cemetery. Dunne's killer was convicted of manslaughter and served less than four years in prison, just in case you wanted to add some anger to the sadness.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW_v3BqpRedI3_niDKp5Ha5jcEFDAUkq14hqGVGS9Ol74Ugh2rkjWFCuS2xWCgb0_7iYhl_FYqak5oIZYNb0dPve_laBxSK0Ufu3361kMfSvPeJWKKxakugbYGR1Z0SsQ_9KWWATJWlJA/s1600-h/chucknorriskaratekommandos.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW_v3BqpRedI3_niDKp5Ha5jcEFDAUkq14hqGVGS9Ol74Ugh2rkjWFCuS2xWCgb0_7iYhl_FYqak5oIZYNb0dPve_laBxSK0Ufu3361kMfSvPeJWKKxakugbYGR1Z0SsQ_9KWWATJWlJA/s200/chucknorriskaratekommandos.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258009779393482978" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">4:00 CHUCK NORRIS KARATE KOMMANDOS</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">#104 "Menace from Space" - Original Airdate -- 9/18/1986</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> Chuck Norris and his comrades head off to a space shuttle launch site in order to warn a general about The Claw’s plans, though he is too late and The Claw manages to get away with the shuttle.

Hey, kill me. Anyway, here is the latest from our fellow cappers.<br /><br />First up, be sure to check out the just announced <a href="http://vegascapfest2009.blogspot.com/">CapFest 2009</a>. Next year - Vegas, baby! Just think of all the sex and alcohol-based humor that could spew forth well into 2010.<br /><br />Also, you may be interested to know that UnReality never sleeps. I actually meant to print this up in the last update, but left it out for some strange reason. Sorry about that. What is it? It's the new issue of his zine, <a href="http://www.kaleidotrope.net/">Kaleidotrope</a>. So, go on and order yourself a copy. Not only will you be able to read a great zine, but you may contribute to paying Un's power bill so he can keep capping. Issue #5 is out now, and its only $4 U.S., which is less than half of what I spent on that issue of Mojo with that god-awful CD of White Album covers.<br /><br />Oh, he also has his <a href="http://capperblog.blogspot.com/">Capper Blog</a> going full swing, in case you need a daily dose of Un. Also, go to <a href="http://www.unreality.net/weblog/">Occasional Fish</a> to find out what is going on every single minute of Un's life. Hey, it's more entertaining than mine.<br /><br />As always, there is a new and frankly surreal pic up at <a href="http://www.captiongallery.com/wcff/wcff.htm">Amon's Will Cap for Food</a>.<br /><br />InsideOutMan has been very busy with his new blog, <a href="http://levitude.blogspot.com/">Levitude</a>. He has new blogs up every few days and they're great.<br /><br />Nyssa23 has an ongoing thing at Live Journal. You can keep up with everything going on with her at <a href="http://nyssa23.livejournal.com/">Nyssa23's Garden of Earthly Delights</a>. Hey Nyssa, we're all pulling for you with the job thing and at least one other blogmeister, the one who is writing this right now, is in the same boat on the opposite coast.<br /><br />Reynard added some of his Danger Mouse sketches over at <a href="http://www.reyfox.net/art/sketchbook.html">Reyfox.net</a>. Of course, Danger Mouse never looked that badass when I was watching...<br /><br />As always, I can count on Generik for having the courage to stand up and offer some awesome commentary on everything that's going on in the crazy political arena at <a href="http://generik.blogspot.com/">The Generik Brand</a>.<br /><br />Again, if I haven't added your link yet, I either am lazy or I need a capper handle to associate with the website.

The surprises begin when a daydreaming Alice encounters a White Rabbit who is frantically running late. She chases him and falls into the magical, madcap world of Wonderland with its kaleidoscope of off-the-wall characters -- including Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Cheshire Cat, and the manic Mad Hatter, who invites her to a memorable tea party! The crowning confrontation begins when Alice meets the notorious Queen of Hearts and her enchanted deck of playing cards. Tricked into a curious game of croquet, Alice, and her patience, end up on trial. Is there no escape from this whimsical escapade?<br />Fun Fact 1: Walt Disney had considered doing a feature film of this story for years. During the very early part of his career, throughout the 1920s, Walt Disney created a number of shorts with a live action Alice placed in an animated world. Walt Disney continued to make this series, generally referred to as "The Alice Comedies", which were all silent, right up to time he made <span style="font-style: italic;">Steamboat Willie</span>.<br />Fun Fact 2: This was the first feature film for which Walt Disney was able to use television for cross-promotion. Walt Disney's very first television program, <span style="font-style: italic;">One Hour In Wonderland</span>, which was broadcast on Christmas evening of 1950, was devoted to the production of this film. Naturally, the entire program, including the clips from the movie, were in black and white.<br />Fun Fact 3: Though the film was a box-office flop when first released, several years later it became the Disney studio's most requested 16mm film rental title for colleges and private individuals. In 1974, the studio took note of this fact, withdrew the rental prints, and reissued the film nationally themselves.<br />Fun Fact 4: Early drafts of the script had Alice encounter the Jabberwock (to have been voiced by Stan Freberg), from Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky". The sequence was rejected, either because it slowed the story down, or because of concerns that it would be too frightening. Elements of "Jabberwocky" remain in the film, however: the Cheshire Cat's song "Twas Brillig", consisting of the opening stanza; and the Tulgey Wood sequence, which includes at least one of the creatures mentioned in the poem, the Mome Raths.<br />Fun Fact 5: This was the first Disney theatrical film to be shown on television, in 1954. It was shown as the second installment of the Disneyland TV show, edited to fit into a one hour time slot.<br />Fun Fact 6: The movie took five years to complete, but was in development for over ten years before it entered active production.<br />Fun Fact 7: This movie is actually a combination of Lewis Carroll's "Alice" books, "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass".<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq-ePGTxJDZLZJf8MXkVnzEjVRhWTDP8016ZERjkgWYg6AlK9J5EmFFYWV9rR47HGtMtYpvYNnefC2zf7EfWs4uUpJpxvrCMOtqsHPCeJVdKLR7Sh8W11V-w79mLR2taSE0uUd4k4lFCA/s200/twilight_zone.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq-ePGTxJDZLZJf8MXkVnzEjVRhWTDP8016ZERjkgWYg6AlK9J5EmFFYWV9rR47HGtMtYpvYNnefC2zf7EfWs4uUpJpxvrCMOtqsHPCeJVdKLR7Sh8W11V-w79mLR2taSE0uUd4k4lFCA/s200/twilight_zone.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">11:00 THE TWILIGHT ZONE</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">#305 "A Game of Pool" - Original Airdate -- 10/13/1961</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Buzz Kulik (<span style="font-style: italic;">Villa Rides!</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Shamus</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Jack Klugman, Jonathan Winters<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> A frustrated pool champ has beaten everyone.

Each week, a camera crew followed the activities and daily beats of the officers of a different city's police department. Incidents ranged from routine traffic stops that evolve into charging the subjects with drug-related offenses; domestic violence; high-speed chases; and stakeouts and raids. The success of "Cops" led to other similar programs, with varying degrees of success.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: Was bought during the 1988 writers strike when Fox was starting to run low on new content.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: The camera operator is armed with nothing more than a bulletproof vest.

Although his investigation discovers an affair with a golf instructor, Brimmer chooses not to tell Kennicut about it and proposes Mrs. Kennicut to act, in return for Brimmer's silence, as a "pipeline" for information involving powerful persons with whom her husband is involved. When Mrs. Kennicut refuses to cooperate and threatens to tell her husband about Brimmer's unsavory proposal, Brimmer becomes enraged and accidentally kills her. He then transports her body across Los Angeles and dumps it in an industrial area, hoping her death will look like a robbery gone awry. Enter Lieutenant Columbo, the cigar-smoking detective in a rumpled raincoat, who does not accept the murder-by-mugging theory surrounding the woman's death. When Kennicut assigns Brimmer to assist Columbo in the murder investigation, Brimmer struggles to deflect Columbo's increasing suspicions that he was involved in Mrs. Kennicut's demise.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact</span>: The first regular <span style="font-style: italic;">Columbo </span>episode filmed, after two pilot movies.

He is most recognizable as having played Dr. Jerry Robinson on <span style="font-style: italic;">The Bob Newhart Show</span>. He is known for always getting actors to look him in the eyes as he is giving direction. This is mainly because no one wants to look a man named Bonerz below the waist.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2008</span></span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjagUJRnMiP_vnvKtNQp6XmmyG4180ErFHqsbcuF4jiOKpeZpueU_A3DxevI6u8r9cOPEK3rL62R1153Whp9JDQKIMZb6r4WOM3f6K2zC2YFRsG1Q3dW9pkJDp03t02BrEZx_TkWMkJaEk/s1600-h/weirdscience_dvd.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjagUJRnMiP_vnvKtNQp6XmmyG4180ErFHqsbcuF4jiOKpeZpueU_A3DxevI6u8r9cOPEK3rL62R1153Whp9JDQKIMZb6r4WOM3f6K2zC2YFRsG1Q3dW9pkJDp03t02BrEZx_TkWMkJaEk/s200/weirdscience_dvd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255058754359576578" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">10:00 WEIRD SCIENCE: THE TELEVISION SERIES</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">#206 "Nightmare On Chett Street" - Original Airdate -- 9/17/1994</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> David Grossman (<span style="font-style: italic;">George of the Jungle 2</span>)<br />The Stars Michael Manasseri, John Mallory Asher, Lee Tergeson, Vanessa Angel (<span style="font-style: italic;">Kingpin</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> Lisa creates a new magical invention- Dream Chairs.

Many of you who have visited the site within the last week have noticed that Jazz has added an interesting feature to HCC. They're Spotlight Caps. What they do is give your gallery page an extra pop. Next to your name and graphic, a spotlight cap will be featured. This is a cap of your choosing, perhaps one you didn't think got enough attention. It sort of throws it back onto the frontline. Another reason for them is it gives people just familiarizing themselves a taste of what your humor is like.<br /><br />Here's what you do. At the top of the gallery page is a link to go to your Ultimate Archive. From there on, just follow the instructions. You can choose a cap from your entire history at HCC and sometimes, stuff from way back in the Caption This! days. Me, I had trouble deciding and given my personality, it will probably change. Oh yeah, that's the other good thing - if you sour towards the cap you've chosen or if you find one you like more, you can always replace them any time you want.<br /><br />If you want to see what people have already put down as their spotlight cap, there's a <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/jazz/gallery/cappers.php?who=everyone">gallery page</a> for them too.<br /><br />Also, you may notice it being Halloween, people are using new scary fonts. Also, Jazz has put up the schedules through All Hallow's Eve and that means, it's time to dress for the masquerade ball and let people guess who you are. You have until November 1st before those particular festivities.Scott W.

Kirk (William Shatner), Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) and Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) are guests of honor aboard the newly christened Enterprise-B. A test run takes an unexpected turn, however, when the starship encounters two vessels trapped inside the Nexus, a mysterious energy ribbon. During a perilous rescue attempt, Kirk is swept out into space. Seven decades later, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of Enterprise-D rescue an El Aurain physicist named Soran (Malcolm McDowell). Unbeknownst to Picard, Soran harbors a deadly plan that includes the destruction of the Enterprise and millions of lives. Now Picard's only hope for a future rests within the Nexus....and a legendary captain from the past.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: William Shatner has stated that his line "Who am I to argue with the Captain of the Enterprise?" was the hardest line he ever had to deliver.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: The horse that William Shatner rides is his, as are the home and farm where the sequence takes place.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 3</span>: Patrick Stewart was aided in his portrayal of Picard's grief by the script for Jeffrey, which he was reading on the set. It touched him so deeply he cried reading it.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 4</span>: The model of the Enterprise-B is simply the Excelsior with a few new front details. These hull additions were made so that the "damage" caused by the Nexus ribbon would not require cutting into the actual model. This miniature was seen first in <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Trek III: the Search for Spock</span> and was used in several episodes of <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Trek: the Next Generation</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Trek: Deep Space Nine</span>.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 5</span>: Malcolm McDowell was so taken with the line "Time is the fire in which we burn" he had it engraved on the pocket watch he uses in the film.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 6</span>: Original versions of the script called for Kirk to take command of the battle bridge of the Enterprise and lead it into combat against the Klingons, thus dying onboard the Enterprise.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 7</span>: DeForest Kelly was set to appear in this movie as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, but due to his declining health, he could not get on-set insurance (a union requirement for anyone on a film set).

So, let's welcome some of our new guests, shall we?<br /><br />First up, we have <a href="http://crabofdoom.deviantart.com/">DeviantART</a> from our very own CrabOfDoom. Give it a look see. You're going to be able to spot some fascinating and arresting artwork there.<br /><br />Also on the subject of artistic wonder, we have <a href="http://www.reyfox.net/">Reyfox.net</a>. It comes from our own Reynard T. Fox (which in a "manos" kind of way, means "Fox the Fox," doesn't it?). Anywhooze, Reyfox has got an impressive art gallery as well as caption galleries that go back years.<br /><br />On the other side of things, I urge you to visit one of the more interesting blogs I've come across in some time - it's our own <a href="http://nyssa23.livejournal.com/">Nyssa 23's Garden of Earthly Delights</a>. Find out what's happening with our little Nyssa and how she views the world.<br /><br />Also, if you like those video embeds and such that are so popular with the kids these days, our very own Seltaeb has his own <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Seltaeb9091">Youtube channel</a>. See how he wreaks havoc in his appearances on Morning Express.<br /><br />Also, if you want, you can check out the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/horrorexpress">MySpace page</a> of me, TravisBickle. But remember, it's a private account. So, please let me know who you are or your ass will be kicked out quite badly.<br /><br />I got a few other links that I may not have posted yet. If you sent me one and don't see it, let me know. One of the reasons they might not be here is I have no idea who you are. I got a few links but I don't have a capper to match them to. So, send a follow-up and give me a handle to match to the sites, some of which I admit are great.<br /><br />And if you haven't sent anything in, why not? We still want your links. So, feel free to send them to scottwdavis2000@yahoo.com, or just comment on one of the blog postings. I do read them.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFwr1qwXvDnqla6B9IrtusdeTpzZcQU35Wb4SRNKaDnpf2aZ7SuJuRafcKO-cIrIwevM-Tz3NORwYkcCqVeJ5k_bMtjxnC-Z39cwOkj2WhUDJWECpGdu1fxZPqaPBKvnB6L0GSqFziUiM/s1600-h/this-island-earth-mutant.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFwr1qwXvDnqla6B9IrtusdeTpzZcQU35Wb4SRNKaDnpf2aZ7SuJuRafcKO-cIrIwevM-Tz3NORwYkcCqVeJ5k_bMtjxnC-Z39cwOkj2WhUDJWECpGdu1fxZPqaPBKvnB6L0GSqFziUiM/s320/this-island-earth-mutant.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252042114483061426" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">UNCLE SCROTOR, THE METALUNA MU-TANT IS WAITING FOR YOUR LINKS!!!!<br />DON'T MAKE UNCLE SCROTOR ANGRY!!!<br /></div>Scott W.

Every now and then, the schedule is going to change without my knowledge and it's going to change after I have already posted by overly detailed run-through of the following weekend's activities. So, it happened this last weekend. Some of the stuff that was to be shown Friday and Saturday was rescheduled to the following weekend. All you need to know is that if you missed them, there are two new items in the catalog that have already popped up in a scheduled slot. They are:<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></a></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD9asg6hj_omztpaS7ZpsJQE0lq2UnGvss7jQGY4DJM_RHDioYgFFL1pPr7uPCUzCwaESoAUNMF4_zc3KihRNTQkAEkFjfAGqYgGuJVrD0suYv-um4XbIvgtHzcmADTZypCr2rZP_YAtE/s1600-h/vixen480.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD9asg6hj_omztpaS7ZpsJQE0lq2UnGvss7jQGY4DJM_RHDioYgFFL1pPr7uPCUzCwaESoAUNMF4_zc3KihRNTQkAEkFjfAGqYgGuJVrD0suYv-um4XbIvgtHzcmADTZypCr2rZP_YAtE/s200/vixen480.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251669639411508226" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/index.php?do=add_form&loca=080317/images&pickgrab=1205890740"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >VIXEN (1968)</span></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />The Director</span> Russ Meyer (<a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/index.php?do=add_form&loca=080205/images&pickgrab=1202257800"><span style="font-style: italic;">Faster Pussycat Kill!

Vixen is not the faithful wife, however, as, in her very first scene, she makes it with the local Mountie. Later, she gets it on with both the husband and wife who are the latest guests in the bush pilot's cabin. Other character's in this movie include Vixen's brother, whom she taunts about as aggressively as she does with non-familial relations, and the brother's friend, Niles, an African-American who, like many people of the era, jumped the border to escape the Vietnam draft.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 1</span>: One of the first films to receive the newly-formed MPAA's X rating.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fun Fact 2</span>: One of the critics who notably gave this film a rave review was Roger Ebert.

Bill quite naturally proves to be brighter than the average human. But when brain surgery is suggested, Bill blows his cover and the apes discover he can speak. Not wanting to see him put to death, Cornelius and Zira agree to help Bill escape. As with the first episode, "Escape from Ape City" doesn't provide many surprises for those familiar with the basic storyline found in Planet of the Apes. The plot closely mirrors Taylor's ordeal from the movie. One interesting change is that ape city and the civilization presented in this episode more closely resembles Pierre Boulle's original book. It's a more advanced culture with transportation, communication, and other "modern" infrastructure. Also, I feel I should mention that I do enjoy the way the story arc continues from one episode to the next. It gives the overall series a more natural flow.<br /><br /><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04138337497561282 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-08892514298529616 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"></a><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5tveEXW5nAQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />So, there you go.

It seems life couldn't be more complicated for the Junior who normally holds all the cards.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzwvSmTRmvGZ2T7HaObDp4sxKURU-KigGW-WSTvRIoR8Dn1j3kigTdlotYMWS6xLIcyrbNfPBqYMP-IdGY2BEelM-7KCUZ2Tn9AwCEWaP8FdBMfRrazQR1lB-59ZKfY81jcxYras30THY/s1600-h/tinman.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzwvSmTRmvGZ2T7HaObDp4sxKURU-KigGW-WSTvRIoR8Dn1j3kigTdlotYMWS6xLIcyrbNfPBqYMP-IdGY2BEelM-7KCUZ2Tn9AwCEWaP8FdBMfRrazQR1lB-59ZKfY81jcxYras30THY/s200/tinman.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250057503355725298" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">12:00 TIN MAN (2007)</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Part I</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Jack Willing (<span style="font-style: italic;">Photographing Fairies</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The River King</span>)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Zooey Deschanel (<span style="font-style: italic;">Elf</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Hitchhiker's Guide the Galaxy</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Eulogy</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Happening</span>), Alan Cumming (<span style="font-style: italic;">Emma</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Spy Kids 1-3</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">X2: X-Men United</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Anniversary Party</span>), Neal McDonough (<span style="font-style: italic;">Band of Brothers</span>, 2006's <span style="font-style: italic;">The Hitcher</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Traitor</span>), Kathleen Robertson (<span style="font-style: italic;">Beverly Hills 90210</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Nowhere</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Hollywoodland</span>), Raoul Trujillo (True Blood), Callum Keith Rennie (<span style="font-style: italic;">The Invisible</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Due South</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Battlestar Galactica</span>), Ian A.

He and Duke join the N Team, which consists of Princess Lana (the Ruler of Videoland), Simon Belmont (the hero from Castlevania), Mega Man, Kid Icarus, and Gameboy (a giant supercomputer). The N Team goes up against the evil Mother Brain (the villain from Metroid) and her minions, King Hippo (Punch-Out), the Eggplant Wizard (Kid Icarus), and Dr. Wily (Mega Man). These forces of good and evil go up against each other and often find themselves in comical, hilarious situations.

While Turtle and Drama talk up Luke Wilson about his new home theater system, Jimmy Kimmel invites Vince to come on his show to promote "Head On." In the morning, the foursome discuss their past relationships with women, and the consensus (all but Eric) seems to be that it's better to leave a girl dangling than break up with her. Drama also fills Vince in on his old grudge against Jimmy Kimmel. Later on, Eric tries his best to do a pre-interview for Vince's appearance while they all enjoy a game of golf. Afterwards, he breaks it to Vince that one of his one-night stands will be appearing on the show as well. The day of the show, Kristen stops by the guest house to pick up some things from Eric where the visit quickly turns into "break-up sex." Meanwhile, Drama and Turtle visit Rufus, who tells them that if Vince plugs his company on the show, they'll get their home theater system for free. At the show, the boys go to the Green Room while Vince finds sets out for a pre-show apology/visit. Emily shows up and shares a cigarette with Eric, and with a little help from Drama, their free home theater system is secured.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBF0uU1S1tUTZvxlNd8gO5Yb3_DdOZiWAIr3J47zO3xwYJr_vib_Oxmnle7CVMtL8755SiWEVnTlPvie8w42D7xFq3cv3-i5b5LGGsyGH_PhyphenhyphenusMB2qlWntMI_Zj8YSRkIKHCCofMmdX8/s1600-h/friends.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBF0uU1S1tUTZvxlNd8gO5Yb3_DdOZiWAIr3J47zO3xwYJr_vib_Oxmnle7CVMtL8755SiWEVnTlPvie8w42D7xFq3cv3-i5b5LGGsyGH_PhyphenhyphenusMB2qlWntMI_Zj8YSRkIKHCCofMmdX8/s200/friends.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249893362470440402" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >5:30 FRIENDS</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />#115 "The One with the Stoned Guy" - Original Airdate -- 2/16/1995</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Director</span> Alan Myerson<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Stars</span> Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Melora Hardin, Jon Lovitz<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Plot</span> Phoebe's friend Steve is looking for a new chef for his restaurant.

Been here less than a week and already not only to I have a site to report on, but a brand spankin' new site from one of our great cappers. The man is InsideOutMan (who were guessing didn't get that name because he looks like <a href="http://www.orneryjabroni.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/slim_goodbodyx.jpg">Slim Goodbody</a>).<br /><br />IOMan just started his own blog and hopefully won't mind my enthusiastic pimping of it. It's called <a href="http://levitude.blogspot.com/">Levitude</a>, a fine name I must say and probably one that contains more meaning than the susudio-esque "shablorp." He's got his first post up, and it's a fun brief read about a talented actor and a damn good show.<br /><br />And to anyone else out there - I STILL WANT YOUR LINKS! It can be fancy or bare bones, it can be clean or trashy (though I lean towards trashy, just because, you know - WHOO!) and it can be something that exists for capping or completely outside that realm.<br /><br />So, just leave a comment here on the site or e-mail me at scottwdavis2000@yahoo.com and I'll be happy to link to it here and keep people informed on its progress.<br /><br />See you on the capping boards.<br /><br />TravisBickle<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh6piRIALxosBgnrXzCJQbSFM12F_NhbP6H_IuAiX-zs0wD4_hXWqpoeC6xtip2megGtLxpZDcWFgrl0hj5Lrb1gt0Z7MGccE61CBhfSfSkCRympWCAe9Y-IhpBBpmrSsEXRKYM7KxH5g/s1600-h/mccorkle1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh6piRIALxosBgnrXzCJQbSFM12F_NhbP6H_IuAiX-zs0wD4_hXWqpoeC6xtip2megGtLxpZDcWFgrl0hj5Lrb1gt0Z7MGccE61CBhfSfSkCRympWCAe9Y-IhpBBpmrSsEXRKYM7KxH5g/s400/mccorkle1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247840797585225026" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">YOU SEND ME CAPPERS' LINKS!!!</span><br /></span></div>Scott W.

If you have no idea what this is, well then you're just a rational human being then, aren't you?<br /><br />Shablorp has been developed by TravisBickle as an easy go-to source for the capping community at <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/caption/">Hipsoda's Caption Crack</a>, hosted on at <a href="http://www.hipsoda.com/">Hipsoda.com</a>. It may or may not (but probably will) serve as a place to share Travis' random psychoses. But primarily, just the capping community. We'll keep you updated on what's happening with HCC and its sister sites.<br /><br />If you're a capper, you probably already know that we have a <a href="http://capperwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page">Capper Wiki</a> and other sources. By all means, use 'em. A lot of work went into those sites and they are great resources that Shablorp will continue to link to. Shablorp should be seen as an alternative, companion but not competition to those great and invaluable sites. No, Shablorp will have a different interface for easy-to-access and often updated info about HCC and all the cappers' sites.<br /><br />Which brings us to the most important thing here - <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">WE NEED YOUR WEBSITES!!!!</span></span><br /><br />If you are a capper and you currently have a website that you update, we want it - <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">EVEN IF IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CAPPING!!!</span></span> The idea here is to strengthen the capping community even further and connect the various cappers together, keeping everyone updated on what's going on in your lives.... assuming you have lives outside of HCC. I don't care if it's a blog, commercial website, porn (pleasepleaseplease), MySpace or Facebook page. Whatever you have, drop me a line at scottwdavis2000@yahoo.com or simply leave a comment on the site and we'll keep people abreast (yes, I said "abreast" - try not to faint) of what's going on with you.<br /><br />Also, a special thanks to our very own Occupant who made our nifty and more than a little disturbing logo.<br /><br />Shablorp, people.Scott W.
