COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT

I Watched this great 70's cold war SF flick a few nights ago. Aside from the irresistible 70's punchcard-and-magnetic reel computer porn of it, The plot, pacing, and acting have a lot of appeal. A real gem.

Death to Myspace

I killed my myspace account in a fit of aggravation today... I had been pretty good about keeping personal posts on there and movie/art/gizmo related stuff on here, but now that I no longer have that as an outlet, don't be surprised if I occasionally have a little more candor on this blog.

The new website is really truly almost finished then I'll be trying out weekly pieces of questionable and confusing video. We'll see if it works out.

The Key to Reserva

Scorsese shoots an ad in the style of Hitchcock, complete with fake Saul Bass titles and lacquered hairdo's. Neat.

THE VISITOR, Tonight at Terror Thursday

Extremely rare 35mm screening of this unedited print of the most berserk sci-fi/horror film of the ‘70s, in conjunction with Code Red!

An all-star cast inexplicably steers a blackhearted blowout of interplanetary possession, telekinetic avian assault, exploding basketballs and ecclesiastical laserstorms. Young Katy Collins is gifted with cosmic powers and begins a downward spiral through the forces of heaven and hell that brings darkness, violence and insanity to all around her. With Lance Henriksen, a mutilated Glenn Ford, Shelley Winters, a 200-proof-soused Sam Peckinpah and even John Huston as the Messenger of God. I don’t know what writer/director Michael J. Paradise was attempting, but no human mind could have deliberately created this. THE VISITOR is a visual buffet of shattered glass, vicious death and never-before-witnessed crackpot inanity that goes beyond all laws of filmmaking, resulting in something crazed, unfathomable and completely, beautifully unique. If you don’t believe me, just ask Space Jesus. (Zack)
