The Last Movie You Watched

[pocaracas]

And my choices for horrible horror movies for next week's Deep Hurting Project:

• Alice in Murderland, wherein someone decides to make a slasher movie based on Alice in Wonderland, but still has it take place in a warehouse Sorority House.
  
• Ants on a Plane, wherein Lifetime decides to make a Snakes on a Plane mockbuster.
  
• Arachnicide, wherein a drug cartel gets revenge on the military and spiders are apparently involved.
  
• Bear, wherein a bunch of idiots are menaced by a psychic bear.
  
• Blood Orgy of the She Devils, wherein there is no blood orgy.
  
• Creepozoids, wherein the man behind Santa's Summer House and A Talking Cat?!? brings us an Alien ripoff.
  
• Curse of Pirate Death, wherein a really unimaginatively named pirate becomes a slasher villain.
  
• Hobgoblins, wherein we have another movie that even MST3K couldn't make watchable.
  
• I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu, wherein we have a sequel that takes place either 20 or 40 years after the original (the movie can't decide
  
• Monster, wherein the Asylum decides to make an even lazier mockbuster of Cloverfield than usual.
  
• Raiders of the Lost Shark, wherein a flying shark just keeps eating people for some reason.
  
• The Ripper, wherein either a college professor turns out to be Jack the Ripper, or it's just 90 minutes of talking about Jack the Ripper and Vincent Price movies.
  
• Shark Exorcist, wherein it turns out that there's a filmmaker dumb enough to make a shark movie in landlocked Nashville.
  
• Snakes on a Train, wherein there's another Snakes on a Plane mockbuster, but it's the Asylum making it this time.
  
• The Source, wherein the Asylum takes nine days to rip off The Craft.
  

Some time ago, I watched a film that I thought could feature in your project. It's from the 80's and I remembered watching it when I was a kid and thinking it was decent... turns out it's not really.
Anywhoo, it's called  Cherry 2000. Have you seen it?

A documentary on 'The Residents' called Theory of Obscurity.

I'd heard of the eye ball group before but not much else.

I have not, and for what it’s worth, the Project is for the worst of the worst. And the strange thing is, looking at it, Cherry 2000 might actually be too good for the Project. This is the sort of thing the Project is going for.

Have started to rewatch "Frequency" having seen it some years ago. As often happens, it doesn't seen nearly as good as I remember.

Of course that's the problem with memory. I've found that the more time which has passed, the more I misremember things.

At age 11 I saw and loved "Land Of The Pharaohs". Saw it again recently, holy jumping shit balls, what a crock! Jack Hawkins is wooden, but Joan Joan Collins is much nicer to look at than I remember. Sadly, there isn't actually a scene where you see blokes being eaten by crocodiles .( due to cowardice in battle)

I didn't even try to watch "Robby The Robot Meets The Invisible Boy". I think made shortly after Forbidden Planet because every one loved Robby. As it is you see more than enough of the invisible boy, the whiny little twerp..

BUT, some films hold up; Forbidden Planet is still pretty good. So it should be, it's based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest". The matte work is still terrific . On re watching, I discovered Anne Francis had a face on which you could break bricks. I suspect that's why they put her in such a skimpy costume. So people wouldn't look at her face.

‘Dune’(2021).

Kinda liked it, apart from a few quibbles about casting and character depictions (Mapes should have been older, the Baron wasn’t nearly fat enough, etc), but these are minor. On the whole, I thought they did well with the condensing and explaining issues that troubled past productions. SFX and action sequences well done, acting pretty good.

I’ll watch the next one. 6/10.

No Men beyond this point.

It's a mocumentary that has a lot to say about bigotry and has a lot of dark humor.

No time to die, well it was apparently time for James Bond to die.

Yeah, I'm with you about the evil Baron.  Kenneth McMillan*** in 1984 was a study in decadence and evil. Ian Macniece in the 2000 Series  was also pretty disgusting, and right for the part.

Apparently Warner brothers have not yet committed to  part two. If done properly, Dune could become a massive franchise . I'm a bit fed up with franchises, but I guess there's always new generation of undiscerning consumers. 

Interesting snippet: The Bene Gesserit's breeding programme  called for Jessica to have girl, and she would then marry Fey Harkonnen. It's made clear in the book that Jessica is the daughter of Baron Harkonnen.    Paul's poor little sister is born with all the powers of a Bene Gesserit Reverend  mother. It is she who refers to the Baron as 'grand father' after sticking him with the Jom gibbar  and letting the air out of his tires, so to speak.


*** I've often wondered if he could have been the model fort Jabba The Hut.

Saw Dune Part One Wednesday, overall liked it, it's tricky condensing a book that revolves so much around details into a movie; but they really made a respectable try of it. Hope Part Two makes it out.

Last night I watched 'Northmen'  on Netflix. OK, kept my interest, a nice "little film"  

Pleased to discover yesterday that a new series of VIKINGS is coming, called "Valhalla". Set a couple of hundred years later, around 10th century. It has the character Leif Erikson, who sails in from Greenland with friends. Looking forward to it.
