Piranha from AWE

I just learnt via Skræk og rædsel that Another World Entertainment is putting out Joe Dante's PIRANHA from 1978. Great news!

However, WHY NOT RELEASE IT ON A DOUBLE BILL WITH JAMES CAMERON'S SUPER SPLATTERY GORE FEST "PIRANHA PART 2: THE SPAWNING"!!!???

Now THAT'S a double bill that could've rocketed AWE into the world of über cool celeb video companies, LOL.

Here's a couple of memorable scenes:





However, despair not; PIRANHA 2 is out on a good, cheap and letterboxed DVD from the UK (get it from Play.com for around £5). Skip the reg. 1 DVD as it's fullscreen.



This one below (from MIA) is also from the UK and has a way cooler cover but unfortunately it's fullscreen.

Diabolik #1

Heeey, I'll be getting this! Yay! Spiffy!!

American edition from Pacific Comics Club published in 1986

This is the Italian comic book series that Mario Bava's film DANGER: DIABOLIK from 1968 was based upon. It was created in 1962 by the two sisters Angela and Luciana Giussani. I don't remember this being published in Denmark (otherwise one of the leading countries in the 70s and 80s to publish comic books and albums [or 'graphic novels' as you modern kids call them now]). There's an okay Wiki page about the series here.

I'm not gonna keep announcing sporadic posts on my other Greek language blog but I thought I'd remind Danish readers that it's there and I just posted something. Check it out here.



Obviously the Flexfleece chick is just there to spice up an otherwise boring post. I don't suggest you buy anything from there.

Renato Polselli's unreleased MANIA - the complete trailer

I posted the trailer for Renato Polselli's Italian horror movie MANIA from 1974 a little while ago but unfortunately it was a rather aborted version. Now, thanks to a private collector, here's the complete trailer finally. And in a really good condition too. It comes from a 35mm print.



Wayne on Cinehound informed me MANIA has NEVER been released anywhere on VHS or any other format, nor has it been shown anywhere on television. There exist no bootlegs either. And even when it came out it only had a very limited run in the Italian cinemas. When you watch the trailer it's hard to understand why it didn't cause more interest but maybe the stimmung back then just wasn't in favour of it. :(
It's a crime against all humanity that this film doesn't exist on DVD and I certainly hope we'll get to see it released soon.

Feels like a Sunday night fun on a Monday, eh? Part 2

Where do these people come from? :-O

Feels like a Sunday night fun on a Monday, eh?

"Joan Jett and Angelina Jolie look SO much alike to me!! Both are super gorgeous, I wish Angelina would play Joan Jett in a movie!!!"

(YouTube user's comment from another Joan Jett video)

Hahaha.

Cool video with Joan Jett (with cool new hair [well, 'new' back then anyway]) doing an old Iggy Pop track which is really an old... I forget... track. :/
And yeah that is Joey Ramone in the beginning of the video.

Devil Times Five

I'm gonna get this, that for sure. xD

On Amazon

One man, one cup

Haha, this is probably the greatest interview with a rock "star" I've ever seen (don't worry the headline is just a play on words, nobody shoves anything up their rectrum).




EDIT (sep. 13th, 2009): when I check Google Analytics I can see that there are people who land on my blog EVERY DAY because they make a search for "one man one cup". How disappointed you perverts must be that all I've got here is some weirdo musician with an ACTUAL cup, hahaha.

Cinehound the place to be today

It's Cinehound forum's birthday today (well, since we've just crossed into the hour of the wolf where I'm at it was actually yesterday).

Three yrs ago headhound Miltos Kordas opened the Cyberspace doors to what soon became a haven for fans of world-weird cinema. It's really the place for fans of weird horror and exploitatin movies from around the globe to hang out at (no wonder it's where Pete Tombs of Mondo Macabro hangs out).

It's where you can get info on obscure, lost, forgotten, dismissed (lol) films from places like Turkey, Indonesia, the Philippines, everywhere else including the west. And find out where it was all released on VHS 25 years ago. xD

Did I mention it's where yours truly mods the Asian section, LOL.

Cinehound isn't one of the biggest message boards on the Internet or has the most members, but it's certainly one of the friendliest places to be. So big congrats to Miltos and the rest of the Cinehound members.

Crappy sister blog

When you decide to do a blog one of the dilemmas is always whether to publish your stuff in English or your own lingo (provided you speak something else as well, obviously). With this blog I chose English cos I didn't wanna limit my readership to a handful of Danes so I decided to force-feed the world with my beliefs instead of just Denmark.

However, sometimes on a rare occasion there's stuff I don't bring here as I know right away it'll have zilch interest to non Danish/Scandinavian readers. And so, as of today, I'll brink that stuff here.



Now, if you're one of my international readers don't worry about all this. I'll still be spending most of my time here with you, most beloved international reader. And you won't miss out on anything worthwhile as most of the stuff I'll be delivering to the Danish readers is gonna be worthless and weak crap anyway. Those Danish people will swallow anything you give them (I'm not one of them, I'm only visiting, haha).

More rad stuff IN ENGLISH soon!!
