This sounds simply turrible. It sounds like it needs to take the lead so many other prom-themed movies have supplied and introduce a masked killer to come in and axe the entire cast.

I would say that if there really was only one film that doesn’t need a mainstream, big-budget reboot, that film is Water Power.

I guess so - I haven’t seen the movie since September 9, 1988, its first public screening ever. But I remember they stay hairy for the first third of it at least, meaning there were plenty of full days in the red yak fur for Carrey.

I don’t know how Carrey could not have known very well what it’s like to be covered in yak fur all day. I mean, he was Wiploc in Earth Girls Are Easy.

The Zuni Fetish Warrior Doll from TRILOGY OF TERROR sure ought to be on any such list.

More uproarious still is the segment cut out of Amazon Women on the Moon (because John Landis didn’t think it was funny) in which ventriloquist Dick Miller, returning from a European convention, finds there’s been a luggage mix-up and he’s got the wrong dummy - one that only speaks French. It’s a great premise…

Hunky Dory’s my fave.

It’s a solid picture, highly enjoyable. I take my movie-watching cues from Burl, and after he recommended it, I tracked it down and was glad I did.

Blondie strikes again! Oh, those new-wave artists.

You mean his brother? That would be ideal.

I’ve enjoyed Action U.S.A. ever since I stumbled across a videotape of it in a pawn shop many years ago. Of course it’s a great favorite of Burl’s, who, I see, also obtained his copy in a pawn shop:

Don’t forget the brutal climax in which the bad guy is run over by a hovercraft on land, and it rips not just his pants off but also the very flesh from his buttocks.

The power of love, it’s a curious thing

I have seen this movie. In fact, it was the last movie I saw in a movie theatre before this pestilence. It was entertaining, but yes, very Maddin. I like Maddin though, and there’s plenty of room in the cinematic firmament for more than one director to use those tricks.

Exactly.

You know, you’re right: Terminator 3 IS a sequel to The Terminator! All right then, it’s like saying “This is not a boating accident!” is from Stakeout.

I live that this interview is conducted entirely in close-up shots taken apparently around a campfire.

Suppose so. But in Ghost Dog it’s just a callback to Dead Man. You might as well say “I’ll be back” is from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

I’ve noticed this, even in the supposedly edumacated articles you see from the goony-bird contingent at the Washington Post: they can only refer to the impeachment if they follow it up with “sham” or precede it with “debunked,” as though it was either of those things. It’s so la-la-la-I-can’t-hear-you, which you…
