I created this forum as a way for us to reccomend obscure, underground, or
unknown media to everyone else. Basicly, yoo know that band that yoo think
all yor friends should know about yet none of them know about? Hereīs
where to put it. And itīs by no means limited to music.
My example would be my favorite movie (actually itīs tied for 1st place
with Labyrinth) called The Addiction. Itīs a vampire movie (sort of) but
all the dialogue is philosophy. It stars Lily Taylor (whom I love), has a
cameo by Christopher Walken, was directed by the guy who did Bad Liutenant,
and was produced by (interestingly enough) Russel Simmons. None of my
friends had seen it until I reccomended it to them and they all love it.
Get the point? ____________________

my father once told me that that the strangest movie heīs ever seen was a
mexican film named "El Topo" (the mole). Itīs a western about an Easy-rider
type fellow who ends up in a town of circus freaks and midgets. It involves
a scene where he is fighting a 6 foot 5 inch bodybuilder with no arms, so
instead he uses a midget strapped to his back to supply the arms. The
scariest movies i have ever seen are The Blair Witch Project (jeer if
youīd like) and Mullholland Drive....iīm still trying to figure tha tone
out.
Movies are my life. :-( ____________________ "Goths were first introduced to children with the invention of Darkwing

A movie that is fast becoming one of my top favs is Santa Sangre. Iīm not
sure if itīs out on dvd yet, but as soon as it comes out Iīm buying it.
Fans of creepy circus stuff definitely need to check it out.

Oh beans, I left out two of my other favorites:
Day of the Beast (antichrist...spanish with subtitles)..where this funny
little preist is convinced that he can FIND the antichristīs birthplace by
selling his soul to the devil and doing "evil stuff" like keying cars and
stealing books on satanism..who teams up with Jose, a big fat crazy bearded
devil worshippin metal recordstore owner, and a fake satanic teevee
evangelist to call up the devil, find the antichrist child, and kill
him.
The movie is a good movie, puncutated by hillarity and dark humor, and the
scene where jose ruins the evangelists hardwood floor by carving a
pentagram in it and they call up the devil is very eerie. Not a typical
devil. THey think it fails, the evangelist is making fun of them for being
stupid, when this HUGE black goat just sort of walks in from the other
room, they all about piss themselves, and it walks up to the preist, stands
on itīs hind legs, sniffs his face, and walks back to whereever...itīs
fucking RAD.
Also, the empty mirror. Inside hitlerīs megalomaia, egotism, and sessions
with freud and affair/relationship with eva braun.
Iīm done now. I love movies.
Maybe Iīll take up devinīs suggestion and start doing regular movie
reviews.
and hey, thatīs so fucking rad that your bowling alley is in kingpin! RAD! ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Three favorite obscure movies...maybe more, but here goes:
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1912 silent)
Nosferatu (1910 silent)
Metropolis (1912 silent)
maybe even refer madness, tho itīs not so obscure, itīs hillarious because
theyīre SERIOUS.
Michael made an astute observation...that movie was filmed in the early
1920īs or so...or whenever movies had sound but before WWI...and he pointed
out how eerie it was the most if not all the actors in that film were
dead.
Not from old age.
But killed in a war that hadnīt even happened yet.
I also liked the german "Das Boot" (the boat)...itīs lengthy, and very very
booring in parts, but thatīs because it accurately depicted the long spans
of mind numbing dullness aboard a WWII German U boat at the end of the
war.
Very depressing movie.
They get sunk to the bottom of the sea, run out of air and have to use
reserve air tanks, fix their boat, get to the surface, sail into harbor to
a heroeīs welcome, on the parade deck, survived the unsurvivable and then
the allies carpet bomb the harbor and kill everyone.
The last scene is the captain, dying, staring blankly as his boat sinks
into the harbor.
THE END
Left me with the worst feeling Iīve ever gotten from a movie.
Get it with subtitles. Theyīre always better that way. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Another one, that is great if youīre looking for a nice, mentally twisted
style of movie is In the Mouth of Madness. Itīs a take off of H.P.
Lovecraft, staring Sam Neil - a good movie, with some awesome contact lens
effects. ____________________ Skeptic. |

I stick to īThe Wicker Manī as being the best film ever. Also the best Iron
Maiden song ever, but I digress.
Look out for a band called Paradox (UK only (for the moment anyway)). But
they are soon to change their name, so you will have to be quick to find
them.
I know Iīm anonymous, but thats because I canīt remember my sign-in name.
My Latin speaking friends may remember me.
BTW. Het Mono, my Latin teacher was Christian Arnold! Oh yes, I kid you
not!!
If you donīt know who he is: firstly your stupid, ans secondly... where the
hell were you in the seventies!!! ____________________

besides movies, I think everyone should know about JK Potter, my favorite
photographer. I canīt describe it, yoo just have to see it. Check out his
book "Nurotica." NO COMPUTERS INVOLVED! All darkroom techniques! His two
most famous models are the lovely Poppy Z Brite and the ever sexy Lydia
Lunch.
As far as movies go, Lydia starred in a series of small films by Richard
Kern, most notable perhaps "fingered" and "the right side of my brain."
Check out "Hardcore Kern" and "Hardcore KErn 2."
Iīll use the review section once Iīve compiled my list of the hundred
reatest KungFu movies ever made. ____________________

There is a reviews section on this site. That would be a better place to
put this stuff. The only reason thereīs not much there is that people
havenīt really posted to it. If you donīt want your post to get buried in
this forum, and you want to write a little more about your favorite stuff -
post it there. Just click on Reviews in the Brain Candy box. ____________________ So Sayeth Me |

I love Ginger Snaps, youīre like one of the few people that I know that has
heard of it.
Another great one is The Boondock Saints. The Dead hate the Living is also
pretty good. ____________________ Sometimes I dream about dinosaurs shopping for cargo shorts at the Gap.

hmm...I have recently been going through a good batch of movies lately.
Movies such as Donnie Darko(demonic bunnies and time travel), Anatomy (a
cult of doctors in Germany, done in Alfred Hitchcock style), Ginger Snaps
(phychotic teenage werewolf), The Attic Expeditions (WOW!!, very cool
twisted movie, listen for hints of cthulhu, also has Alice Cooper, and Seth
Green in it). I need to make a list. ____________________ co-worker: "Your gay!?"
