"If you want wild women fast..."

About 18 months ago I discovered that the über cool Russ Meyer Collection box from the UK had been reduced to only £43 on Amazon UK. With an added fee for postage it all came to a "whooping" £45! That's only around $70 for 18 awesome Russ Meyer films! And on top of this we're not talking crappy public domain releases (a format that doesn't exist in the UK or Europe anyway) but proper DVD releases.

And in addition to being proper releases I'm also told they're way better than the reg. 1 releases. And they contains extras which the US discs don't. And the US discs are way way more expensive. So £45 seemed like a VERY good deal. And it was. But get this: I've just discovered that now you can get the same box for... £18!! That's 28 dollars (or 155 DKK). Arggh. If you have the slightest interest in cool psychotronic movies I strongly suggest you get hold of this ASAP!

John Waters once described Russ Meyers' film FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! as the best move ever made (basically it's about three über-cool/über-tough chicks who drive about somewhere in the mid-1960s and kick other peoples ass, or have sex with 'em, or kill 'em, or both! Basically have fun, listen to way cool music, and look mean! Whadda movie!That film alone is worth the $28 dollar price tag!!! In fact all Russ Meyers' four "Roughies" movies (Faster Pussycat, Lorna, Motorpsycho, and Mudhoney) are in the box. Get it here.

PS: Yes, they are PAL DVDs so if you're in the US you'll need to make sure your DVD player can play that format (or play them on your computer).







PS: The German title for FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! translates to The Satan Chicks from Titsville (Die Satansweiber von Tittfield). Haha.

Oi, Danish ham, I'm talking to you!

I have a feeling my Danish section of this blog is so secret that even my Danish and Scandinavian readers either forget to check for new posts or don't even realise it exists. The link is located in the bar on the right. Or click here.

The (zombie) South Shall Rise Again

"Curse of the Cannibal Confederates"?? More like curse of the zombie confederates!! LMAO.

Everybody said I shouldn't do this...

...but I did.

- Bought PIRANHA II: The Spawning on DVD that is, LOL. I haven't watched it yet tho. I wonder what will happen. xD.

KILLDOZER VS NATURE - or: It was awesome! yeah, man, it blew me away

This is the band Killdozer (yes they took their name from the highly enjoyable movie KILLDOZER about a bulldozer that... kills people, haha). I first learnt about the band from reading an interview with them in an early issue of the old punk fanzine Moshable when I lived in Baron's Keep in Baron's Court around 1990. They were among my five fave bands for years and years. Their lyrics were thee best! Music for psycho killers. xD

This is an awesome fan made video for the track "Man Vs. Nature" (from the "12 Point Buck" LP):

On the television, a ship was sinking
it seemed so real, but it was just a movie
made by Irwin Allen (my, what a relief)
and on this ship was Ernest Borgnine,
brave in the face of certain death
he played a cop on a pleasure cruise
along with his wife, an ex-prostitute
Shelley Winters, she was on the ship
she was good, too- but she died
as did Gene Hackman, a preacher,
who gave his life so that others could live
he died shouting "how many more lives?!"

On the screen, the city crumbled
so realistic, but but yet another film
by the master of realism, mr. Irwin Allen
no less a man than Lorne Green, and mr. George Kennedy,
risked their lives to save the lives of strangers
their selflessness was moving
Chuck Heston was in the movie too- but he was just a ham.

On the tv, a building in flames
it was "Towering Inferno" by Irwin Allen
O.J. Simpson led the cast
in a man-against-nature fight-for-survival
it was awesome!
yeah, man, it blew me away.

Fuck today's youth! This is how it's supposed to be.

Incidentally I got the clip via Norton Records' blog, Kicksville 65. I'm sure you know Norton is run by Miriam Linna, the original drummer for The Cramps.

Mail on Sunday

Yesterday, I returned to Denmark after having spent 4 days in another Scandinavian country (yes, I'd been to Jylland once again) and found Fred Anderson's film KRAFTVERK 3714 in my mailbox. Yay! Thanks, Fred! I also got the new Fangoria, boring stuff from the dole office, and some chick's fashion magazine. If it were a question of a wrong house number but she lives in a completely different street - with a street name that sounds nothing like the name of the street I live on.
@_@

Anyhoo, I'm definitely looking forward to watching Fred's film. Check this review on Magnus' cool Cinezilla blog (since "Magnus" won't tell me who he really is [because he's some hotshot telly producer on Swedish TV] he's just gonna have to live with being "Magnus" on this blog. Most people in Sweden are called Magnus anyway).

Not coming to a screen near you...

...but it would've been pretty cool. xD.

It's grrrim up north!!

After a few yrs in London in the late 80s I went back to the north in '91. Soon after I taped this off MTV and the rest is fanzine history (i.e. I used the title for my bedroom publishing label, LOL). xD.

Ohh Hakky!
