It was made in 1980, but was just released today on DVD, and is only $13 at Amazon.

It's also been making the rounds at theaters that still do midnight movies. I think it was at Coolidge Corner last weekend, in fact.

Sequel rumors galore!

Of special interest: David Boreanaz's next role? and (Plei go SQUEE!) a Harold and Kumar sequel! Also, (all but three of us go GROOAN) a possible Unbreakable sequel?

That is heartening indeed! DH and I were thinking that this is the kind of thing that should be seen by large groups of people at midnight. Singing along and in costume, if possible. Lyrics like

It's a natural, natural, natural desire.
Meet an actual, actual, actual vampire.
Let the apple set your soul on fire, fire, fire, fire.

should not be sung alone.

MY MOTHER WAS A MONORAIL!

Given how the shots of the monorail pulling into the station match up with some of the other lyrics, you may want to rethink that statement. (Also, you especially must see this movie.)

Also, one of the actors is named Joss. This becomes monumentally amusing in the last 5 minutes of the film for reasons I will not reveal because you really just have to see it.

Neil Gaiman has been posting stills from Mirrormask on his blog.

Did someone post the link to the Cthulhu plush slippers that Gaiman had posted earlier in his blog?

Neil's comment: "Quite how Great Cthulhu will react when he rises from his sunken grave and sees people wearing him on his feet, I hate to imagine. It'll be the end of the world, I expect. Then again, it would probably have been the end of the world anyway."

I think my favorite summation of the jilted genre comes from Chris Eigeman's character in Barcelona.

You think wedding vows are going to change everything? God, your naivete is astounding! Didn't you see "The Graduate"? The end? Katharine Ross has just married this really cool guy--tall, blond, incredibly popular, the make-out king of his fraternity in Berkeley--when this obnoxious Dustin Hoffman character shows up at the back of the church, acting like a total asshole. "Elaine! Elaine!" Does Katharine Ross tell Dustin Hoffman, "Get lost, creep. I'm a married woman"? No. She runs off with him--on a bus. That is the reality.

Okay, I've been poking around Dark Horizons, and from there to other links, and I'm now officially excited to see Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

I was before, because I loved the first movie (and I'm obscenely addicted to all of the video games, except the crappy first person shooter they made), but now I'm in the IT'S COMING SOON mode.

Which also reminds me that I never got around to finishing Resident Evil Code: Veronica X, which I should maybe put some time in on before I go to work this afternoon (just more freelance stuff).

Oh, and The Apple has been added to the list.

And after seeing Baseketball again on cable yesterday, I feel a real need to dig up Cannibal: The Musical, if I can find a copy anywhere.

You mean like here?

HA! Gandalfe, you rock.
