If I were in a poor man's version of Ministry I'd do a cover of this. Oh yeah. xD.

Dyland Dog - trailer

This trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of the comic book series DYLAND DOG came up and disappeared again from everywhere on the web. So here it is again. ;-)

Clash on a Saturday

Yesbangkok1 (in the YT comments section):

I had to laugh at the people who wanted this at No 1 for St Georges Day. Have they listened to the lyrics? This song sums up how shit this country is. Travel the world and have your eyes opened.

Best ever pop song anybody could ever play on a Friday. Don't piss me off. I mean it!!! On any Friday!!! Ever!!!!!

I've been called Lucifer, I've been called Satan but my name is Richard. And YOU can call me Dick.

Death of a Snowman - dvd

Arrrgh! Don May and his Synapse label are going to release the South African movie DEATH OF A SNOWMAN in November. They call it a "South African exploitation classic", haha. Oh man, I've had this film lying around on a Danish ex-rental tape for at least 7 or 8 years WITHOUT watching it because I thought it looked totally boring, haha. I think I checked the first 5 minutes and then chucked it back into the pile where it's been ever since. Hahaha. Maybe it's time to give it a proper chance. :D

"Quite simply, this is the best 80's action film to be made in the past twenty years"

This is one of the trailers for RAMBO 4 (aka Rambo aka John Rambo) which I must admit I totally love! Fred Adelman said about it in his review on Critical Condition:

While I generally don't review recent theatrical releases, I'm going to make an exception here because I feel this is an important, nay, essential, viewing experience for fans of action cinema. Quite simply, this is the best 80's action film to be made in the past twenty years and director/co-scripter/star Sylvester Stallone has single-handedly restored my faith in American action cinema. It's not perfect, mind you, but it is the most rousing, bloody, audience-pleasing action flick that I have seen in theaters in many years.

- and I fully agree.

RAMBO 4 is so over-the-top violent and gung-ho crazy that it's a splatter movie fan's wet dream. And a trashy war flick fan's wet dream too. And I happen to love both splatter flicks and trashy war flicks!!! xD

Check the trailer and watch the movie!

Black Devil Doll From Hell - the org. tape

I wrote about the upcoming DVD release of BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL recently (check here) and for the past week a copy of the original tape has been on eBay. However, the seller is asking a 180 dollars for it and the cover is even cut to fit a regular size video case! On a day without food and water I might've been dizzy enough to cough up 50 bucks for it. But 180 smackaroos! Forget it!! I've got my bootleg from TrueGore and the DVD is gonna be out soon.

But if nothing else here's the pix from the seller's page (notice how the background colour and the fingernail colour go well with the cover. LOL):

Day on the Green, 1985

I got a pile of old-skool thrash- and heavy metal "mix-tape" style cd-r's from my buddy Henrik last week and since then it's been back to the old thrash metal days in this house. LOL. This video is from the old "Cliff 'em all" VHS which came out a while after Cliff Burton was killed in 1987. I actually had a ticket for the gig in Copenhagen that never happened cos they'd crashed their bus the night before (but I got to see them with Cliff at the Roskilde Festival a few months earlier which was the highlight of that summer). The tape is all bootleg recordings and (I believe) a few clips from TV. The clip I'm posting here is without a doubt the best of the lot and most likely taped for local TV or something. I still have my old video tape which I bought back in England and just before writing this I checked Amazon to see if there's a DVD release, and yes there is. One of the many Amazon users who comment about the DVD mentions that there are two Metallica's (he's complaining about the new fans who trash the DVD for not being produced properly, haha). And yeah, I fully agree. Altho three of the four members are the same it's been a very different band ever since the Black Album came out. Back in the second half of the 80s the original version of Metallica was my favourite band of all time. Of all bands. Anywhere. This clip is from their best period in my view.

Thanks to Henrik for the cd's.

Rare LEMMY interview circa 1983

Rarest interview with thee coolest MISFIT! (i.e. Lemmy of Motörhead as if you didn't know. And if you really didn't know: please go away!).



Q: "There aren't many rocken rollers like you left?"
Lemmy: "What, you mean intelligent?"

The picture quality blows but in some ways it FITS perfectly! This interview is from circa 1983. It's originally uploaded by someone else (in the UK) but they disabled the embed function so obviously I had to re-upload the whole thing. LOL. Enjoy.

Another World Entertainment to release exclusive BRUNO MATTEI booklet by fave cult writer!

From Reuters (Saturday):

STOP PRESS: STOP PRESS: STOP PRESS:

News in this morning confirm speculations that DVD & blu-ray publisher Another World Entertainment (Denmark) have signed a deal with renowned underground cult personality Jack J of "En Lejemorder Ser Tilbage" blog and "Stay Sick!" fanzine fame for an extraordinary release entitled "Hell of the Living Dead Booklet". A release critics quickly have labeled "Most likely the most important release of 2010".

Another World Entertainment (AWE) will shortly be releasing the Jack J penned mammoth coffee table booklet on Italian master film director Bruno Mattei; a director who is widely recognised by film aficionados and academics alike for his cinematic classics such as SS GIRLS, THE OTHER HELL, ZOMBI 3, HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD and not least his ground breaking masterpiece CRUEL JAWS.

It seems surreal that no major reference book has been published previously but according to AWE part owner and founder, mr Jan Schmidt, the answer is most likely that only few film critics would have dared to put themselves on the line; As mr. Schmidt puts it: "One wrong word about Bruno Mattei and you would have an angry mob on your hands. Thousands of furious Mattei fans ready to tar and feather you."

To the question why he and AWE would risk their necks with this release:

Mr Schmidt: "Well, we knew very well mr Jensen [aka Jack J, Reuters] could pull this off in a grand way. In fact we are convinced he's the ONLY writer who could do this."

A limited edition of the booklet will contain one of maestro Mattei's films; HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD. We asked mr Schmidt why they have chosen to include a DVD with mr J's awesome booklet.

Mr Schmidt: "Well, it's not that we didn't think people would pay $20 for a four page booklet. We are confident most fans would, it's written by Jack J for Christ's sakes! But we just thought it was something the fans would appreciate".

Will you be working with mr J again?

Mr Schmidt: "Haha, you don't throw away a golden goose, now do you! We certainly hope mr J would wish to work with us again. Why would we want to work with anybody else! We've previously tried other writers and they all fall flat in comparison".

Some alleged rumours hint that mr J likes to take his time with his material?

Mr Schmidt: "That may be, but it's certainly not something we view as a problem. We fully understand that different rules apply when you're dealing with an acclaimed underground writer like mr J. We just hope he'll work with us again."

HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD is in stores this coming week.
