^^^ one of my favorite directors. very curious your thoughts besides 

nah sorry, not much to say.. just saw this one, the original Hachi-ko, Edo Porn and Onibaba..that i can recall. just glancing through his catalog..ah, and his approach to the Zatôichi tale and Postcard.

should definitely brush up on this director..Hadaka no shima, Hadaka no jûkyû-sai..his output was massive..

I'm watching the first one again in hope of cleansing my mind of this experience. Why you gotta be like this, Kevin Smith 

this was written by the coen bros, directed by sam raimi and has bruce campbell running on full ash williams gas. one problem: it's not that funny. it's like a bunch of cartoon skits running along a story about some bozo criminals set in a very colorful, clumsy and cluttered comic book universe.

I've been wanting to rewatch this for about 35 yrs. Loved it as a kid. All i can remember is the scene with lots of doors and the quote  "lady, you ain't seen nothing....... yet" which I have regularly used  as a phrase here and there for most of my life. (Which may or may not be from this film. I hope it is)

That guy with lightning bolts around his head - did he play one of the Harkonen bros in Lynch's Dune?

@cichlisuite not sure, but if you ever get locked up in a turkish prison, make sure he ain't your c.o.

wtf is this beauty

you'll never guess who the lobster man in this film is (it's not a spoiler coz you don't see him). this film is like an inside joke for b-grade actors that were in b-movies making fun of the kind of b-movies they consider themselves to be in. it also has a very unfinished "feel" to it because it's supposed to be "lost" and "not good". 

personally, i feel this film is the high water mark of this kind of meta-b-grade filmmaking despite "one of the writers" admitting it too was a dumpster fire that was "beyond campy"

full movie @ archive.org 

really disliked this- even thought it was worse than x. plays like a lifetime original (especially the part when she blows up on the projectionist) but now with more expensive lens' and extremely sloppy camera work. i also didn't think the entire story was going to take place at her home which, imo, was also disappointing.

that painfully awkward smile at the end out of ten

Thanks! Won’t watch it then. X was amazingly disappointing. The Twitter hype was in full effect. 

^^^ ti west, ari aster, jordan peele and robert eggers get A LOT of hype from twitter and reddit but are all extremely disappointing and lukewarm directors

this was terrible. the "fraternity house" is clearly someone's apartment (keg is in the basement). different rooms of the apartment represent different locations (sometimes in the town or fraternity house).

looking good..

is that Neil Patrick Harris?

how is this shit? they had such a great premise and somehow couldn't make a single thing work. this is a compilation made to look like a VHS recording of random TV programs being shown on halloween 1999. the problem is that none of these programs are interesting. in fact, it feels like a personal home recording video found at good will with shitty public access skits mixed in.

it's actually this dude

besides tony curtis, i doubt any of the other actors were known outside of small film & tv bits and theater work

Barbarian - yes!!!/10
