I've always had a dream

I'm not seeing the episode-length "Fantasy Island" parody, nor the "Ben-Hur" show (with John Candy in the titular role, doing a spot-on imitation of Curly Howard) from season one. How can that be?

That's messed up, then. Seeing labia on film is way more of a thrill than a mass of hair.

It was actually my first R-rated horror. I just remembered that I saw "Caddyshack" with my friends in the sixth grade (the guys in the row behind us were smoking a joint, so it was also my first smell of weed) and "Heavy Metal" in the seventh. We also once bought tickets for "Time Bandits" but snuck into "Creepshow"…

"Songs the Lord Taught Us" would be their gateway album, although I prefer the cool, mellow minimalism of their "Psychedelic Jungle" LP. And as a lifelong Cramps fanatic, I take issue with putting them in the punk genre. They played in the punk scene, but their music isn't in the genre. They did straightforward covers…

Repo Man soundtrack was essential. It had Iggy Pop's best song, along with Suicidal Tendencies, FEAR, Circle Jerks, Black Flag… a punk primer.

One of the most underrated horror films of the 80's is "Dead and Buried", another Dan O' Bannon zombie movie.

Prosthetic or not, it's still a shaved snizz.

Mine is "room temperature".

Personal reminisces:

I believe it was not.

We saw it at the theater right near our house in LA,  a few days after the premiere. He was excellent. Stuart Gordon directed.

Would rather not describe. If you rented it on VHS, you haven't seen it. But if you must know, you can search "brain damage uncut" on youtube and skip ahead to 35:00. I don't recommend it, though.

I probably shouldn't reveal this, but my dad rented "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein" for the two of us to watch together when I was in the eighth grade. It wasn't a miscalculation; he'd seen it in the theater and loved it. Sure it's gruesome, but no more traumatic than the Three Stooges.

I should have assumed there was a Blockbuster cut.

You are correct, sir. I rented it in the late 80's as a teenager and thought it was a great concept and an okay movie, and of course the director's "Basket Case" is one of my all-time favorites. But that blowjob scene ruins the experience. It's nowhere near funny, just mean-spirited and ugly.

But it's cool because Madeline ends up liking it. Just like the Vader rape in "Revenge in the Nerds".

I just saw Henenlotter's BRAIN DAMAGE this weekend on an uncut DVD, and a key scene that was entirely censored from the original video release (as well as the theatrical release) in the 80's ruined the whole movie for me.

HBO destroyed it in editing. But, since they cut so much of the grand guignol out, they put in some additional dialogue scenes that weren't in the theatrical cut or the unrated VHS, and I don't remember them being re-edited back into the film for the DVD either.
