I'm not familiar with the solo work of any of the other members, but having read about the lawsuit, I think they have the right to perform Dead Kennedys songs without their front man. Jello withheld royalties from them for most of the time they were together, and took sole credit for songwriting to keep more of the…

Ted V. Mikels collaborator? No kidding! What a bizarre degree of separation. But then, it would be bizarre to think anyone on earth would collaborate with Mikels.

I like it. A bizarre combination of slasher and police procedural. Sleazy, sure, but just sleazy enough; it doesn't cross a line like "Death Wish 2", which must be the most offensive mass-market studio film I've ever watched.
(and if you're thinking "Death Wish 2" isn't all that bad, then you might not have seen it in…

Two days ago I watched "The Last American Virgin" (the remake) in its entirety on my laptop while waiting for a delayed flight at the airport. Kept myself pinned against a corner on the floor, so no one else could see the smut.

I was just the right age to come home from high school, smoke some weed and waste my life away watching Mtv while these PSA's were airing. I don't remember seeing the Paul Stanley one before; he comes off as a way bigger tool than Gene, by asserting "you don't have to do drugs to be cool, because I'm living proof".…

The B-52's, Gary Numan, Miles Davis. FEAR… all played on SNL 80-81, when the show was otherwise at its worst. I guess that era was a good one for pop music in general; Disco and Punk were over and there was no Mtv yet. Anything could happen, like booking Public Image Ltd. to perform on "American Bandstand", having the…

What isn't being mentioned here is the quality of the musical guests. Within those five aired episodes, Blondie made two appearances ("Eat to the Beat" and "Shayla"), Cheap Trick did "Dream Police", And Alice Cooper performed his Gary Numan knockoff ("Clones").

Naw, the band played at normal tempo. The chipmunk singer(s) would record onto the multitrack tape when it was running at half speed. And it wasn't the first time it had been done. The guy behind the chipmunks had previously recorded a hit with the Doctor Demento standard "Witch Doctor".

I picked it up at a book store's sidewalk sale about 15 years ago. I asked the price, and the clerk refused to accept any amount of money for it. "Just take it". And it was my only item!

He wasn't involved. The writer is confusing Clowes with Charles Burns, I'm sure. And yes, it's a great film, especially the Burns sequence. Whichever studio animated it ought to get millions of dollars to make a feature-length adaptation of "Black Hole".

Another vote for Wizards as Bakshi's best film, although since we're talking about Bakshi, I have very little interest in seeing it again. As an R. Crumb fanatic, both Fritz the Cat and Heavy Traffic come across as ersatz and unnecessary.

For me it's all about Fantasyland. I love those immersive dark rides. Anything kept from the original park of the 50's appeals to me. I just wished they'd kept the image of Tomorrowland as more of a futurist utopia, and not just a shopping mall. Charging people $100 a ticket so they can buy souvenirs. What a sad…

I took my kid to Disneyland a few months ago, and by the way this article is describing, it sounds like Spider-Man will be added to an existing attraction; there are a bunch of
Marvel character meet-and-greets already in the Innoventions building of
Tomorrowland, which used to have educational exhibits, now is just an…

A prominent sample from it is in the Acid House classic "Love House" by Samantha Fox.

And I just remembered this one. It was a flexidisc (like the kind you'd get in Mad Magazine, which often required a penny on the turntable to keep it from slipping) given away at Winchell's Donuts, and it's scarier than it looks. Just listen to the sequence starting at 4:00 or so, and picture a six-year old chimp…

I don't know that one, but I'm older, and my childhood nostalgia ends in the 80's. But I own about a hundred Halloween / Horror related LP's from the 60's-70's, and this is my favorite. It's a Musique concrète masterpiece.

Maybe, but I was referring to films that might have been around before "Death Game" (1977).

I looked at the auction site, and even they're vague about what was and what wasn't executed by Ray himself. The charcoal and pencil drawings are the only things that I'm sure are in his style. Some very high-traffic websites in the last few days have been misrepresenting a lot of this fan-made art as his work.

He was specifically comparing it to his subsequent project. Green Inferno was as far as he could imagine going with visceral horror, and wanted to do a psychological, theatrical piece as a followup.
Just saw "Death Game" (the movie "Knock Knock" is a remake of / tribute to) earlier this year. An okay premise, handled…

I read it more as "Love in an Elevator" by Aerosmith.
"Whoa-oh!"
"Whoa-oh YE-AH!"
