No more Weng Weng (blog)
If you go to Andrew Leavold's "The Search For Weng Weng" blog you'll find it isn't there anymore. The fuckfaces that are blogger.com decided it was, get this, SPAM!! And deleted it! So no more Weng Weng blog. I did a Google search to find an old ghost version of the blog to save but it seems they've somehow managed to delete the old versions as well. Boo-hoo. All that info gone forever.
Ahh, the good old days
GORE WHORE (1994)
Recently, I won a copy of Hugh Gallagher's underground splatter flick GORE WHORE from 1994 on eBay. Unfortunately, it's quite rare and even more unfortunate is the fact that mr. Gallagher hasn't understood the importance in re-releasing this, ahm, charming independent production on one of those shiny little disks. Anyway, after having searched high and low for a copy for quite a while I finally found it at an auction a couple of weeks back and was able to watch it last night. And, whoah, it was totally like being back in the old splatter flick days of the late 80s, early 90s!
A scientist hires a lowlife private dick to find some chick who stole one of his formulas. The looser PI discovers the thieving chick isn't just capable of nicking secret formulas she's also a vampire hooker!! Haha, no shit. GORE WHORE is kinda a low budget (veeery low budget) relative of RE-ANIMATOR. Not only do the dead come back to life in the midst of bucket-fulls of gore, they're also brought back by using the old tried and well known green gooey stuff! However, in contradiction to RE-ANIMATOR it's just not injected in the same, ahm, way. The vampire hooker injects herself by using a big syringe DILDO!! Haha. Oh, and everyone else gets it up the ass. LOL x 10.
GORE WHORE is Hugh Gallagher's final film in his splatter trilogy; The other two being GOROTICA (1993) and GOREGASM (1990), and because I'm a fan of these amateur productions needless to say I was ENTERTAINED aplenty! These little flicks made by splatter movie fans in their backyard (or their mum's backyard) were nothing like the "real" films but they sure are fun to watch. And you don't need to ask; Yes, I also love films like VIOLENT SHIT 3 and stuff like NEKROMANTIK, THEY DON'T CUT THE GRASS ANYMORE, and the PLAGA ZOMBIE movies.
If you Google for reviews of these films you'll find a 100 so-called horror review sites that shits all over them. I really don't get it, these so-called "fans" are more fans of EXPENSIVE horror movies than they're true horror movie fans. I mean it's like they're too gone on everything having to be fucken WELL PRODUCED than it has to be FUN! These films were made by fans who had no money and thus often had budgets of around 20 dollars. But to me that don't matter none! What matters is whether they're fun to watch or not. GORE WHORE contains gore, gooey dildos, cool music, and nudity. What's not to like! Oh, and D'Lana Tunnell (hubba hubba) is in it as well. She was also in the AMAZING film SORE LOSERS that had Jack Oblivian (of the cool garage band The Oblivians) in it (as a rockabilly cat from the 50s who is sent to present day USA in his car to kill some guy!!) along with the way coolest band ever; Guitar Wolf!
Yeah sure the sound is muffled and the picture grainy and the video tape looks like the director re-used some old ex-rental tapes he got from a porn store to shoot on but quite frankly I don't give a toss. If you have the slightest interest in old-skool splatter films go ahead and see if you can find GORE WHORE. You're not likely to stumble over an original tape but there's bootlegs out there. Unfortunately, I still haven't got hold of GOROTICA but I'm sure I'll get it some day. If you look long enough you'll find everything.
So what happened with the director I hear ya ask. Well, he went off and started Draculina Publishing (that among other things publish the girlie horror mag "Draculina") and runs a mag/book eStore. I wrote to him last year and tried to get him to help me find these films but, well, I guess he doesn't give a fuck about them these days cos despite having sent him three emails (to a working address) he never bothered sending me an answer. Oh well, I found GORE WHORE anyway but it's a pity some people turn their back on their own past none-the-less. Oh well.

WebAvisen censurerer bort Jack J
[apologies to my international readers for this outburst in the lingo of the old Norsemen]
Hahaha, den er sgu go' nok! Jeg har i dag oplevet den store ære at blive udsat for censur fra Internet-avisen WebAvisen.dk!!
I går skrev en anonym "journalist" (and I use the term loosely) en dødsannonce over Lux Interiors død og startede med sætningen: "Han ked af en hjertesygdom og sov ind på et hospital i Glendale, Californien, i går". Han "KED"??? Bedre blev det ikke senere, hvor der var flere grove fejl af både retskrivningsmæssig, grammatisk, og faktuel karakter (bl.a. påstod skribenten, at der er udsendt et Cramps-album med titlen: "Live at Napa State Mental Hospital", hvilket jo er en direkte løgn).
WebAvisen tilbyder, at læserne kan kommentere artiklerne, så jeg påpegede fejlene og tilføjede ikke overraskende, at jeg ikke håbede, at de aflønnede deres korrekturlæser med andet end et par bananer, haha.
Well, hos WebAvisen har man altså tilsyneladende hverken HUMOR eller FAGLIG STOLTHED, for ikke alene er mit indlæg nu pist borte, men man har sågar ladet de grelle fejl få lov at stå (man kunne måske spekulere i, at et indlæg kun ville få lov til at stå i en enkelt dag og det var derfor, at det nu er væk og ikke pga. censur, men her skal lige tilføjes, at andre indlæg fra dagene før har fået lov at stå urørte hen).
En af de fordele, som net-udgivelser har fremfor det trykte medie, er ellers, at man netop kan gå ind og rette fejl og mangler med det samme uden at skulle vente på et dyrt genoptryk eller lade dem stå til evig tid.
Oh well, hos WebAvisen vil man tilsyneladende heller, at de ansatte fremstår som journalister med diplom fra Zoologisk Have fremfor Journalisthøjskolen, end man vil tage kritikken til sig og få fejlene rettet. Og at avisen samtidig kommer til at fremstå som en bedre Sovjet-avis med en finger evigt plantet oven på censur-knappen gør tilsyneladende heller ikke noget. Hvor sørgeligt.
WebAvisens dødsannonce over Lux Interior kan læses her.

CALIBER 357
I watched Eddie Nicart's Filipino film CALIBER 357 (aka Magnum 357) last weekend and... whoah... whadda film!
I though it was going to be an "ordinary" revenge film about some guy who comes into town to kill one other guy who killed his brother or something. Oh boy, it is indeed a revenge film but it was nothing like an ordinary half decent film. It's totally over the top amazing!!! Very entertaining to say the least!! Why the fuck isn't this out on Reg.1 dvd!! Or any dvd for that matter (other than my dvd-r now, LOL)!!!
The main character arrives on the plane but it only takes about 5 minutes before the local gangsters are trying to bump him off simply because they don't know him! Haha. And that's all it takes for you to realise this is an INSANE revenge flick with a lone wolf that just kills people left and right, and everyone is trying to kill him too.
I made a few quick screen grabs (no, they're not from the best or most intense scenes as I just spent 3 min. on it). CALIBER 357 was an unexpected nice surprise I got last year when I bought three boxes of old kung fu ex-rental video tapes. I didn't even know the film had been released in Denmark.
[you can click the individual scans for twice the size]
In this segment the lone wolf revenge guy waits in the loo for three guys and just kills 'em one by one.
A chick pulls out a bag of drugs from "up there".
Obviously, our hero can do nothing but smell it (and obviously NOT because of what's inside, LOL).EDIT (Dec. 25, 2009): To confuse things another Filipino action flick, MUSLIM MAGNUM, has also been released (on DVD) using the same alternative title as for CALIBER 357: Magnum 357.

More Mattei!
I just won this on eBay and I want YOU to enjoy this SPIFFY cover!!! :-) :-) :-)
DOUBLE TARGET directed by Bruno Mattei and starring Bo Svenson!
Probably a big masterpiece film wise and the reason it hasn't been released on dvd is most likely cos video companies are stuck in a vicious dog fight on who gets to put it out (i.e. get the GLORY). Haha.
