Yeah. It's weirder. Although my favorite Wall of Voodoo song, their cover of "Ring of Fire", is on neither of them.

Why is "Ça plane pour moi" classified as synth-pop, even though it contains no synths?

I know, I know. Mea culpa.

Decide for yourself if it was worth it. Good luck.

Some are a little too easy and anachronistic, like the courtroom photo of Phil Spector. The ones that work for me are the fictional TV characters that stay in the Love Boat era, like "Fembot" and "Dyna-Girl"

1) It's "Satana"
2) she's a fine specimen of womanhood.
EDIT: Oops, it really does say "Santana" up there on the screengrab. At least avclub got it right.

I love the expressionist beauty of "Careful", but prefer the humor of "The Saddest Music in the World". And Don't miss "The Heart of the World", only six minutes long, and on youtube.

Deciding on a favorite Cohen film is tough, since he's worked in so many genres. I really love God Told Me To. It's one of the oddest films I've seen. But Black Caesar is my favorite Blaxploitation film for sure, and the soundtrack is one of my top five James Brown albums.

That is some off-the-wall filmmaking. He was a guest at a film convention I was working last week, selling autographed, screen-used containers of THE STUFF for $50 each. I very nearly bought one from him, before I remembered I don't care about autographs or memorabilia. I just admire the man's work.

I own the vinyl and cassette (both thrift store finds, of course) but maybe it's on the CD that presumably exists.

Another highlight. The whole soundtrack is enjoyable, and I don't see how or why they'd single out "All Over the World" as the best. Besides the ELO material, both "Magic" and "Suspended in Time" are nice Olivia songs. My favorite didn't even make it to the soundtrack; the battle between Gene Kelly's 40's Swing

I'm a huge fan of "Roller Boogie", and revisit it every couple years, as well as "The Apple", but "Skatetown USA" is a movie I only needed to see once. Might be worth your while if you're interested in Billy Barty, Maureen McCormack in hot pants, or seeing the limits of Dorothy Stratten's acting abilities.

He's so modest, keeping his head turned the whole time. Little does he know that PG-rated titties are always the best!

I watched many of them, and remember few. "Bad Girls Go to Hell" by Doris Wishman was worthwhile, but that was more of a thriller. And "Orgy of the Dead", written by Ed Wood, starring Criswell and a Vampira knock-off.

Yes, the footage from Africa of human executions (titled "The Last Road to Hell" within the film) was supposedly real, and not shot by Deodato himself, but acquired somehow. A lot of home video copies of the movie which claim to be uncut are still missing this sequence. But it's there in the Hulu version.

He showed them Airplane to demonstrate that we don't think all jungle-dwelling natives eat white people, they also can play basketball.

I re-watched it just last week (it's on Hulu, and completely unedited; I realized that the Japanese bootleg VHS I saw 20 years ago was cut in some spots) and I think it's a defensible film in some respects. Deodato was interested in the Mondo genre, especially the films of Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi

Don't give a damn about the LA movie, but have a soft spot in my heart for the original. granted it's not Carpenter's best film, but it's his best soundtrack. It has all the trademark dramatic stabs, sustained high-pitched synth drones and weaving sequencer
patterns of his other soundtracks, but a lot of it also

Some misinformation in this article; it cites the Florida park as having the Jungle Cruise since 1955. But Disney World wasn't even built until the 70's. Disneyland, in California, is from 1955, and has had the Jungle Cruise since opening day.

And after Star Trek is a NEW show by Svengoolie, whom I've been watching on-and-off since 1978 when I was a monster-movie-obsessed kid growing up in Chicago. After him is "Lost in Space", but I'm never up that late.
My two-year old son loves "Batman", and there are no episodes on youtube or netflix, so the MeTV
