Anybody a member of the other IMDB replacements?

You know they made about 50 different forums when the news broke. I'm curious as to whether they'll get popular, and if so, how can we steal their users?

Let's get some feedback in this time of crisis.

Cult Brit horror comedy TV shows

so i'm getting comfy here, slippers on, Season of the Witch in the background soothing the eyes. bored. top 100 movies eh? gonna rate the shit outta these bean flicks

Whats this! Garth Marenghi's Darkplace in the last fucking place i'd expect to find it. four votes for a cult series seen little in the UK, let alone a sleazy southern cracker run random movie site! & i mean that in the best possible way - made my day muthaf'ukas

so here's a couple more disturbing wierd darkly funny shows:

Jam - Chris Morris is a twisted genius. known primarily for his satire (Day Today, Brass Eye, Four Lions) this is adapted from his late night/early morning ambient sketch show Blue Jam. The listener demographic was insomniacs n returning clubbers & Morris aimed to fuck with thier heads. He eventually got sacked for airing a cut'n'paste edit of the speech given at Princess Diana's funeral, entitled Bishop Slips.

The TV adaptation dubs the original radio vocals over the actors to create a disorientating effect on the viewer. Morris successfully argued that his show be aired without ad breaks, to keep the 'vibe' going. Helped it was around 1am.
Any way enough rambling, here's a TE friendly clip



The League of Gentlemen - another black comedy sketch show, not as risque as Jam, but more accessible n coherant. sorta. Aired on BBC in the 90s, heres a clip featuring my fave character.

sorry shitty quality, but please bear with it

"Tongiht we are going to watch one of my favorite muhoovies."
"Watership Down?"
"No..."

Your best watch for 2017 so far?

Regardless of film's release year.

For me it's : The Handmaiden (2016) 9/10

Lucio Fulci Films

Like him or hate him, I think it's hard to disagree on Fulci's films belonging on here. By the description alone of the site made by @Renzo_Capetto, Fulci's films belong.

old school horror movies, gritty exploitation films, and especially bad movies

Yep, that describes most of Lucio Fulci's films.

Personally? I'm pretty middle-of-the-road on his stuff. I liked 'Zombie' a lot and, to a lesser extent, 'The New York Ripper' the first time I saw them, but I hated 'City of the Living Dead' and 'The Beyond'. I've seen some of his other stuff too, like 'Don't Torture a Duckling' (hated), 'Manhattan Baby' (actually thought it was okay despite the overall negative reception I see towards it), and 'The House of Clocks' (also thought was okay). I'll be focusing on the first four movies I mentioned here though, as I've seen them the most and am more familiar with them.

The main reason I'm writing this is because I've been re-watching some of his stuff lately. I'll try to keep this spoiler-free.

To start... 'Zombie'. My first Fulci movie and my favorite Fulci movie. I remember renting this on tape and I loved it from the start. The zombie vs. shark and splinter in the chick's eye scenes are probably what most people think of when they think of this movie. So do I, actually. But there's so much other stuff going on too that makes this my favorite of Fulci's stuff. The mud-caked, worm-ridden zombies. The whole idea of the island setting, that something like that could happen on some island like that somewhere and most of us would be completely unaware until it's too late.

And let's not forget the main theme used in the movie. I like all of the music in the movie really, but that main theme especially just works really well I think. Fabio Frizzi is the man behind the music in 'Zombie'. He did the music for some of Fulci's other films too, but none of those scores are as memorable to me as 'Zombie's' score. Except maybe 'The Beyond's' score, but we'll get to that soon.

The second Fulci movie I saw, a couple years after first seeing 'Zombie', was 'The New York Ripper'. I don't think it's nearly as good as 'Zombie' or even the next movie I'm going to talk about, nor is the music as memorable, other than the opening theme, done by someone other than Frizzi, some guy named Francesco De Masi. Its crazy murders are pretty bloody and gory though and... that's kind of all I can think to say about it. The movie's nothing great or original, other than the killer sounding like Donald Duck, which is more laughable than anything, but it's entertaining enough that I don't hate it.

Now for 'City of the Living Dead' and 'The Beyond'. I know a lot of people love these two movies and I've always felt kind of weird for not appreciating them at all. To put it bluntly, I found them to be boring and poorly written gorefests. I love gore in movies, but not when it's the only thing going for the movie. Well, I recently decided to give them another watch and, especially with 'City of the Living Dead', I found myself enjoying it a lot more than I had in my previous viewings of it.

With 'City of the Living Dead', I think part of the problem was that I expected it to be more of zombie movie, especially with that title, when really, the zombies are just a minor aspect of it. It's more about the priest and whenever you see him, you know some bad shit's about to go down. And with that in mind, I think I can appreciate the movie a lot more than I used to, because as the movie's main villain, I do like him. The gore definitely doesn't disappoint in the movie either. All of that said... I still think the movie's ending is dumb and poorly played out. Maybe I'll learn to appreciate it more over time too, but I think it might take a lot more time.

And finally, 'The Beyond'. I'm still not a big fan of this movie. I 'get' it. I just don't really get into it like I do with 'Zombie' or now, 'City of the Living Dead'. As with the other three movies I've mentioned, it's got good gore. Also as I said before, the score definitely sticks out. But the whole plot... I just am not into it. I guess you could say 'well, with a Fulci movie, the plot isn't supposed to be great, it's all about the violence'. Maybe so, but a movie that's almost an hour and a half that has a poor story, but great gore isn't going to have much replay value, at least for me. I am a fan of some scenes, especially the parts in the hospital, as well as the opening kill, the bathtub scene, and the spider scene. Oh, and the ending, that's a lot better than 'City of the Living Dead's' ending. But even those scenes don't draw me in like 'City of the Living Dead' has managed to do. Maybe with another re-watch or two...

I won't lie and call myself an expert on Lucio Fulci's work. I've seen I think seven of his movies now. I forgot to mention 'Zombi 3' before, though it's hard to truly call that a Fulci movie since he didn't even finish directing it. I've also seen 'Wax Mask', which he helped write and I've heard was also supposed to direct before he died.

I would like to see Fulci's 'House by the Cemetery'. I've got a download of it, I've just not gotten around to it yet. Soon though.

1971 Horror challenge (your top 10)

Several months ago,
I made an IMDb thread about how Lady Frankenstein was the best horror film of 1971.

I must confess I haven't seen Abominable Dr. Phibes, or Let's Scare Jessica to Death.
I take it back, as I recently saw Legacy of Blood, and was impressed with it.
I still, however, consider LadyF one of the top 3 of that year.
On the thread, someone said:
"I like the film Lady Frankenstein, but I don't consider it one of the top 10 horrors of 1971".
He didn't post his fave 10, which makes me curious as to everyone's top 10 of that year, per se.

Booby Trap: The History Of Double Agent 73



As a lifelong ass man, I guess I can appreciate a good pair of chesticles only so much. But the appreciation is still very much present. I figure most straight males, or most males in general, dig some big udders. Hell, I'd bet on most people feeling that way, regardless of sexual orientation. Today, I'd like to talk about a film for the tit men, or tit people, rather. A film which has very little going for it, aside from the freakishly gigantic pair of knockers sported by the leading lady. Chesty Morgan is her name. A woman with chest jowls any ass man would love. Mainly because they often resemble a nice fat ass. But more on her/them in a minute.

https://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/blog/Eric_B/DorisWishman Double Agent 73 is the film I've chosen for this week. I don't have a lot to say about Spy movies, nor do I have much to say about the woman who directed this one. Doris Wishman was her name, and I can't really say I'm a fan of her work, or well schooled on it. She was mostly known for some Nudie Cuties she did in the 60's, as well as her contribution to the 80's Slasher craze, A Night To Dismember. A film known for being a disaster for many reasons, most of which were out of Wishman's hands. Long story. Then, there was that sex change documentary... So, yeah. I don't have a lot to say about the late Wishman, or this movie. Chesty Morgan, on the other hand. Christ, where do I begin?

The Polish-born Chesty Morgan (real name Liliana Wilczkowska) started out as a stripper in the early 70's, under the name Zsa Zsa, until she began her much too short film career, thanks to Doris Wishman's discovery of her. Double Agent 73 actually wasn't her first, as they made one other shortly beforehand. A Crime-Thriller called Deadly Weapons. "73's" existence was strictly due to it's popularity. This film is quite a few things, really. First and foremost, we'll just call it Sexploitation, or actually, Titsploitation might be a better word for it. But yeah. It's a spy movie, just the same.

Chesty plays Jane, aka Agent 73, who was just a hair away from getting to enjoy a long overdue vacation, but is called back to work after Agent 99 is murdered by drug kingpin, Toplar, who Jane now has to uncover and help take down. To make things easier, there has been a camera implanted in her left fun bag, which snaps pictures when lifted. But what she doesn't know is that there has been a bomb implanted in there as well, and it's set to explode if her mission is not accomplished in 36 hours. Along the way, we are treated to some of the most wooden, lifeless acting imaginable, along with badly dubbed dialogue for Chesty, who I can only assume speaks no English, or very little.

Chesty Morgan is a true oddity, who's hotness, at least in my opinion, is somehow intensified by her lack of grace, charisma, and screen presence, along with a look in her eyes that tells me she really only has a vague idea of what is going on, not unlike Christina Applegate from Married With Children. All of this, complimented by some refreshingly tacky wardrobe choices. Chesty does not have your typical stripper body, or even that of your average B-movie sex symbol. I suppose her hotness (or lack there of) is really just a matter of opinion, when it comes down to it. I can totally understand a more conservative movie goer finding her repugnant, but in a cluelessly trashy way, I find her quite mouthwatering. The type of chick John Waters would obsess over, I would imagine. Come to think of it, I do believe that was her Justin Whalin was strokin' it to in Serial Mom. Niiice! Sure. She was never going to win a Miss America pageant, but I'd like to go on record by saying that if Chesty Morgan ended up in front of me in a human centipede, I honestly can't say I'd feel jipped.

Besides Doris Wishman, I think we also owe a big thank you to Something Weird Video for putting this out there on dvd/blu-ray for a much broader audience to appreciate, Appreciation which I'm sure was far more ironic than the one before it. While watching Double Agent 73, along with Deadly Weapons, I can't help but wonder what might have been had this woman made more of an effort to get her name out there and work with more B-movie directors besides Wishman. I have no doubt that this smokin' hot anomaly, along with her lack of talent and epic sweater cows, could have gained a level of adoration and infamy equal to Divine's, had she only worked with the right people. But sadly, a Crime Thriller and a Spy movie is all we get. Even though her film career never fully came to life, Chesty Morgan's 73 inches of saggy goodness shall live forever! 4/10

The Short Films of a Dirty Sperm Rag

Hey fools. Back in 2007, I got my first digital camera, and made some bad videos. I'm talking really bad. Like mind-boggling'ly incompetent pieces of diarrhea. You'll probably quit this site after watching them because you'll be embarrassed to be associated with me.
