Rob Zombie and his Devils Rejects

https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3466469/rob-zombie-making-sequel-devils-rejects-exclusive/

This news just came to my attention, and I'm kind of torn. Part of me is asking, "How the hell are you going to revive the last three members of the Firefly family after we saw how that last movie ended?"

Then, another part of me is actually kind of excited for it. We'll say there's some magic Dr. Satan shit going on, but will it be worth it? Will it taint the legacy of Rob Zombie's best movie? Or will us fans rejoice regardless?

Shot-On-Shiteo: Back To Basics

image

Chris Seaver is one of the many no-budget Horror directors that came out of the woodwork back in the 90's. A time when the SOV ship had since sailed. All that was left of this era was a few scraps for guys like Todd Sheets, guys like Tim Ritter, and guys like Chris Seaver. Unlike his peers, Seaver's beatings of the dead SOV horse was actually leading to something.

image By the mid-2000's, Chris Seaver's movie career was not only going strong, but it was actually evolving into something more. By this point, he had gained a healthy fanbase, created his own Kevin Smith/Troma-esque universe, and of course, upgraded to something more resembling film. Still far from "making it", Chris Seaver had still managed to survive the dark ages of SOV and went on from there. I think it's safe to say Seaver's peak was in the late 2000's, when movies like Terror At Blood Fart Lake and Deathbone came to be. As much as he improved his craft and moved up in the Z-movie world, the pressures of dealing with studios and the disappointments of certain films not turning out how he envisioned, got to Seaver, leading to the end of his long-running Low Budget Pictures Company, which everyone had seen as synonymous with Chris and his recurring characters. After filming one final epic, Low Budget Pictures was no more. The end of an era, but not the end.

image Seaver wasn't about to throw in the towel, as he already had plans for something new to rise from the LBP ashes. Well, maybe "new" isn't the right way of putting it. In 2012, a new company was formed. Warlock Home Video was to be the successor to LBP. While Seaver didn't all together quit what he had been doing, Warlock was to offer something new. Warlock movies were to be 80's SOV throwbacks. Not only that, but they were to be portrayed as "lost" SOV classics, while Warlock itself being portrayed as a long-defunct company, now enjoying a second life. He may have survived the dark ages, and flourished in the 2000's, but Chris Seaver more or less bailed on the current decade, traveling back to a happier time, when movies like this were appreciated. Call it "devolving" if you want, but if Chris Seaver is happier in the 1980's, then, good for him!

image Today, we're going to talk about one of the dumbest, one of the most pointless, one of the most 80's flicks that nobody has ever heard of. The perfect example of what Chris Seaver was going for at the time: More fun and less pressure. Clearly, that's what Stoinky Beach was all about. The root of its existence, I mean. The actual movie is one big hard-on for the 80's. Story be damned. Stoinky Beach insists that "It's the 80's and we're having fun!". The man who once played Teenape, Casey Bowker, stars as the recently-dumped Rick, whose girlfriend has up and decided she's done taking a backseat to Rick's friends. It's hard to not sympathize with Ariel, as Rick does only seem to care about drinking beer and eating Bratwurst with the same three guys. Though, they are good friends, I'll admit. The bros are immediately there to pick up the pieces by insisting they spend the day at Stoinky Beach. This beach is made out to be like Muslim-Heaven with the 72 virgins and whatnot. Except the virgins are replaced by sluts who are all drunk and down to fuck. That's what Rick needs. That's what they all need. Luckily, they all totally have each other's backs to the max.

image In true 80's movie fashion, the bros meet an alien named Blumpy, played by LBP legend, Josh Suire. Blumpy has traveled to Earth in order to spread the message of love, or something like that. After making fast friends with Rick and the bros, Blumpy decides his mission is to reunite Rick and Ariel. Easier said than done as Ariel also has a group of friends who thinks Stoinky Beach is the answer. Ariel's friends insist that finding a hard, throbbing cock to choke, on will get her over Rick in no time. As Ariel gets cozy with some Solar Shade wearing beefcake with VD, Blumpy has a few tricks up his sleeve to shift things in Rick's favor. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but I will say this: When it's all said and done, all the bros will have eaten shit straight out of Blumpy's ass. A twist which sums up this movie as good as anything else.

image Sure. Such a movie was not exactly expected at this point in Chris Seaver's career. Stoinky Beach may be considered low brow even compared to his "Mulva days", but I can dig it. I can dig the 80's love and I can dig this clever attempt Seaver made at getting back to his roots. Hell, I can even dig how they didn't so much as attempt to make it out like there were people at this "happenin' beach". Say what you will about the abysmal quality and questionable story, you won't find a more authentic throwback. Stoinky Beach captures everything it's attempting to capture.

Unfortunately, these sweet Warlock throwbacks are so tiny-budgeted and under the radar, getting real distribution was probably never an option, hence the careless usage of mainstream music. Besides Stoinky Beach, Warlock also churned out Death O'Lantern 1 and 2, Die-B-Que, and The Dingleberries, among other Horror Comedies. Unfortunately, Warlock did not get the lifespan LBP did. Since those days, Warlock Home Video has also bitten the dust. However, there are some extremely accurate-looking SOV throwbacks out there, just waiting to be discovered. Though you might have to buy them from the man, himself. Chris Seaver hasn't done a hell of a lot since his Warlock days, but I'd be surprised if we have heard the last of him and his unique brand of humor. Such a deep passion for such a rad decade doesn't die easily. No, sir. I don't think Chris Seaver is quite finished blowing the 80's. 5/10

Spring Break 2018

Here's to a week that everybody in school gets off, so I'm expecting a pretty busy week at work. We have some decent movies at the theater, so people might actually want to get out this week.

image I want to see The Strangers: Prey at Night, not because I liked the first one at all, but simply because it's white trash horror in a mainstream cinema. We had to have this standee removed because of a single complaint. ๐Ÿ™„

I've been kinda stressed out lately, because I've got to move, probably find a new job, finish building someone else's business website for them, and also finish my next novel. But instead of doing all that, I've been playing Left 4 Dead 2 with @ballz, @cyborg, and @der. That's probably what I'll be doing all week actually. I love that game.

So life is kind of a mixed bag, and with that said, I haven't had time to give it my all for this trash challenge, and that makes me weep. My head is all mixed up, so I'm hoping to get back on the right track and simplify my life, so I can focus more on filth. I'll probably watch Spring Breakers this week...

Ah fuck... I got to go to work! ๐Ÿฅด

Jean-Claude Van Johnson

image I just started watching Jean-Claude Van Johnson this afternoon. Two episodes in and I'm already hooked. In the show, Jean-Claude Van Damme portrays a fictional version of himself who's both an actor and a spy. Because he's egotistical and kind of a dumbass, he's not very good at either job, frequently screwing over himself and others.


I'm not the biggest Van Damme fan. As an action actor, he's fine. I just haven't seen many of his movies and what I have seen hasn't always been good. However, there's something about an actor poking fun at their own life that usually works out to be entertaining and that's definitely the case here. Both episodes made me laugh several times.

Season one's only six thirty-minute episodes. Unless the quality takes a sudden nosedive, I'll probably finish watching by tomorrow. If you have Amazon Prime, you can watch it there. If not, there's always Kodi. Headed back there myself after I post this.

Has anyone else here watched Jean-Claude Van Johnson yet?

Death Wish - The Remake!

For the love of God, I don't know why I always forget that Eli Roth has a "Death Wish" remake due out this year, starring Bruce Willis as Paul Kersey! Now, we all know Bruce Willis is a bit of an asshole in real life, but we choose to overlook this because he's always bad-ass in the movies. I figure a Bruce/Roth combo can be great, so long as Bruce doesn't step on Eli Roth's toes. Kevin Smith worked with Bruce on "Cop Out" and said Bruce was a real diva, and he hated working with him.

For some reason, that sticks in my mind, but then again, I can never overlook how great John McClane is, or how cool 12 Monkeys and Unbreakable are. So Bruce bashing aside, I'm into the idea of this remake.


Eli Roth is bad-ass. Love him or hate him, but I've always enjoyed his movies immensely. The dude is fun. I watched Cabin Fever a dozen times, and both his Hostel movies combined a dozen times. Green Inferno is good, Thanksgiving's trailer was amazing, "Knock Knock" is SOOO good and SOOO obnoxious at the same time... suffice to say, I love Eli Roth's work, and his enthusiasm for the genre (and his role in Inglourious Basterds).

The original "Death Wish" is great. I say that, but I prefer the sequels, for their more gratuitous bad-assery (that's a word now). Charles Bronson is one of the coolest bad-asses from the 50s to 90s, and Paul Kersey was a great franchise character that Bronson was always ready to come back to. There was talk of doing a Death Wish 6 where he passes on his revenge lore to the next gen vigilante. Could have been good!

Fun Fact: I met Michael Parks, who played a great villain in Death Wish V: The Faces of Death. Even when Bronson was old, he was still the coolest. Bruce might be able to pull it off!

OTHER Fun Fact: Sylvester Stallone was interested in the role for the longest time, but declined due to fans' protests. Stallone may charge a shit-ton at comic-cons, but I still gotta respect him!

Black and white "Classics" you haven't seen

I already have my watchlist https://trashepics.com/post/1/366/ , but like most of you would already guess, the list is never-ending. You always find more shit to watch, and somehow, there are always more movies that you missed.


Some black & white titles I'm hoping to scout out this month:

The Night of the Hunter (1955) - in the TE top 100, at # 57
The Haunting (1963) - I feel like I might have watched this, but I don't remember anything about it.
The Innocents (1961) - Ditto.
Diabolique (1955) - You'll see this in a lot of fave lists.
Dead of Night (1945) - Some kind of anthology? Also in a lot of fave horror lists.
Metropolis (1927) - Some sort of innovative film for back in its day? I heard there's a version with a Queen soundtrack.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) - Lon Chaney, right? Man of thousand faces... ugly ones!
Casablanca (1942) - Something about nazis and a train? Probably why Bogart is regarded so highly...
Eyes without a Face (1960) - The imagery of that not-face/mask has become somewhat iconic.
The Elephant Man (1980) - David Lynch?!
The Body Snatcher (1945) - Some classy-looking Karloff movie?


There's probably a bunch of good William Castle flicks I've never seen, too. So are there any black and white movies regarded as classics that you still haven't seen? Even after knowing about them for years?

I finished Twilight Zone season 2, and I need to focus on movies now.

Job Interviews

Completely off topic. How many interviews have been to in your lifetime and how do go at them? I've been to countless, probably about 30 plus. I'm really good at putting an application together but suck at the interview process. I think it's an Australian cultural thing to feel like a complete wanker when you talk yourself up so it doesn't come naturally and feels very forced.

I was interviewed recently and the one thing that does piss me off no end is when you get that vibe they've already made up their mind about someone else and are just going through the motions. I'd much rather they call me and cancel than put me through that bullsit charade. A complete waste of mine and their time.

How are you at interviews? Do you have the gift of the gab?

Other Forums

I don't know about you, but I'm kind of losing it without other forums to use. ๐Ÿฅด The other imdb replacements aren't proving themselves to be very competent, or they're just dead. I need new stomping grounds. We need more trash addicts!

What forums do you lurk, and perhaps even post in? Are message boards like this fading away in favor of sites like Facebook with groups and whatnot?

The Crow Remake

Ugh... there's talk of this happening again. ๐Ÿ™„

Everyone has been reluctant to make this movie happen, because Brandon Lee did such a terrific job in the original, and it always falls through. I've heard about this happening on many occasions, with many directors and actors attached, and every version was scrapped.

Now there's talk of Jason Mamoa taking over the role, and I'll be honest... I don't like that guy. Hasn't impressed me once, in any of the shit he's been in, but they keep casting him in any movie they can. He's already been in one shitty remake that nobody EVER talks about (Conan), and now they're casting this 6'4" beefcake to play Eric Draven? As if!

My hopes aren't very high for this movie. If it's like any of the other attempts to remake the movie, it'll get cancelled too.



Now, I know this movie has a stigma of Brandon Lee fanboys dismissing any possible new entry, but a remake is completely unnecessary. The crow mythology could be taken in various other directions, but the damn studios always tend to rehash everything.

Personally, I loved The Crow: City of Angels, with Vincent Perez as the title character. He did a great job, but nobody gives a fuck because everyone's too busy sucking Brandon Lee's rotten cock. They could make a new story about this stuff... but they don't have a fucking clue how to do it.

markus-san: 607
rogerthemoviemaniac8: 0
OnyxHades: 0

That makes @foz the winner. I tried to keep up, but he eventually managed to slip away from me. Congratulations.

Any favorite or least favorite FTVs?

My favorite FTVs were Casino (1995), along with Death Wish 4 and 5. I thought the Death Wish movies would get worse as they went, but they never really did. Had there been a part 6, I would've gladly watched that too.

The FTV I regret watching most was Guilty as Sin (1993). Took me two tries to even finish it. For a movie whose poster quotes a review calling it "an erotic thriller", it wasn't very erotic or thrilling.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this challenge. It's probably not a challenge worth having annually, but maybe we can try it again in a couple years.
