That's because he's a Monster Love Cock Goddess. They self-replicate. I think Cock Goddess is a real winner. Ever since I had to move back home, I've had to put aside my Monster Cock. Cock Goddess, I can only be that in my dreams, I fear. |

i've been searching for widescreen versions of the hercules peplum movoies, my going into this matter earlier in this thread in relation to the film with Rod Taylor.
Ths was especially bough out in connecgon with the Mill Creek vefsions of the films.
With the Rod taylor film I watche both the mil creek pan and scan version, and an Italian laungage version in the proper widescreen aspect ratio, which I reported to you other ZAQBers about.
Last night, I located a for free version of Hercules Atainst the Moon Men, in its Italaian language version, and watche it on my laptop while I played the Mill Creek version on my desktop DVD player, but was so sleepy that I couldn't realaly make any judgemetn on whether the Italian Version had the full widescreen picture or not.
As Mikey Roo Jackson sung it,
"Maybe Tomorrow."

As Mikey Roo Jackson sung it, "Maybe Tomorrow." (If there isn't already, there needs to be gay porn of this title asap) Yeah, some of those Mill Creek peplum movies are cropped all to hell. But, they are often all we seem to have available of some titles. I know you can find tighter prints of some of my favorites, like Hercules Against the Moon Men, Hercules in the Haunted World, and others, but for some sword-&-sandal epics, we seem to be fortunate that Mill Creek made them as cheaply and readily available as they did, despite the sometimes dodgy prints. ************* But anyway, last night I found out what a "gollywog" is, as one is featured prominently in a 1965 British crime thriller called Tomorrow at Ten, about the kidnapping of a child who is given a doll (with a bomb inside it) to play with while locked in a room somewhere in London while a kidnapper's (a young Robert Stack) demands are met. The tension ratchets up a notch midway when Stack up and dies on the detectives, leaving them with scant leads to pursue in order find the child before the bomb goes off at 10am the next morning! |

I watched two great documentaries on horror films over my "weekend" from work. One was 2009's Nightmares in Red White and Blue, and the other was 2004's Celluloid Horror, about a gal in Vancouver who runs a horror film festival practically through the sheer force of her intense love for the genre.

I also watched the 1939 Of Mice And Men, with what many consider to be Lon Chaney Jr's best performance. (One Monster Kid claims that Forry told the other Monster Kids that Lon won an Oscar for his performance in that film, but of course, he didn't. I can't recall Forry ever saying that in FM or anywhere else, and don't know the exact place that the Monster Kid made that claim. If and when I find it, I'll post it here).
It certainly was a very sad film to watch, and I'm wondering if Lon Jr. had avoided being a Second Generation Monster Man of 1000 Faces, and stuck to non-horror films, if his career might have turned out better than it did?
I don't normally "recommend" films, but for an exception I'd say for anyone who is curious about this film (as I have been for decades, and finally watched it), you might very well feel rewarded for taking the time to watch it.

Who knows how Chaney Jr's career might have turned out, had he stuck with more substantive roles rather than going with the lowly horror genre. I suspect he'd have been mainly a character-actor even in more mainstream films, anyway, and he just sensibly carried on in his father's latex-wearing footsteps. All the better for us eternal monster kids, I say. |

Police Beat (2005) centers around the daily rounds of a bicycle cop in Seattle who is growing increasingly concerned about whether his girlfriend is having an affair or not. The numerous strange situations he is forced to deal with are based on actual police cases from the area. What made it for me were the African-born officer's common-sense deductions regarding the array of bizarre and troubled individuals' cases. Absolutely awesome soundtrack, too.

The Incident (2011) centers around four young friends who are trying to start a band, but work as cooks in a maximum security insane asylum to make ends meet. A power outage during a particularly stormy evening sends everyone into darkness, and screws up the electric locks on the doors. Pandemonium ensues. Some pretty harrowing scenes. Made up somewhat for the previous nights' attempted watch, The Bronx Executioner (1989).

I'm getting ready to write another post office letter to Dave Szurek, and need to remember what films I recently saw, since he asked. I do keep the files of my p.o. letters to him, so I'll review them to make sure I don't repeat myself, and only discuss which films I've recently seen for the first time.
Dave's cataract surgery, scheduled for February 13th, has been postponed again, this being the third time, the first time being due to problems he had getting to the surgery center, but the last two times, apparently due to his doctors deciding to postpone it, one time due to his diabetes, and the last time I don't know why.
He does have TV and DVD player, so if anyone wants to send him anything to watch, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
I will ask if he has a telephone, and wants any phone calls.

The following are films I hope to watch, once seen long ago, The Mole People, which Bill Warren, in his book, Keep Watching the Skies rates as the worst of Universal-International's 1950s SFilms.
The Warren photo mag of Mole People, is available for free viewing online, and if anybody wants the link, I'll post it here.
My memories were that it was an OK film, and I liked it.
The other will be a first timer if I can get it. Teenage Monster, aka Meteor Monster, a Horror movie Western, of which there are a small number, I would say.
I'll be doing a net search for those two titles (or 3 titles, considering one film has an alternate title), to see if either of them are online for free viewing.
I know probably all MST3K epiisodes are probably free for utube viewing, and they did cover The Mole People, but I want to watch the film without Joel, or Mike, and the 'bots, before watching the MST3K treatment.

I know probably all MST3K epiisodes are probably free for utube viewing, and they did cover The Mole People, but I want to watch the film without Joel, or Mike, and the 'bots, before watching the MST3K treatment. I have never seen The Mole People. Partly because it held a strange attraction/revulsion for me when I was real little. In short, my imagining of the mole people themselves, just from seeing movie posters as a kid, was probably a far scarier movie than the actual one (from what I've heard). So, I just never got around to it because I wanted to keep my own imagining of the film intact! It's been so long now, I don't even recall how I did imagine it as a kid now. So, long-winded story short, I ought to get around to that one myself. As far as the MST3K/Rifftrax/YuteUber treatment: Yeah some films are enhanced, but some others I'd really just watch without the background banter. |

Tell Dave "Hi!" for me when you write. Work's been really rough here lately, so free time has been scarce, but I hope to have another Hypno ready to go in a few weeks (life b.s. not withstanding). |

I'll be sure to tell Dave hi from dr. kobb. Glad you are earning more money now, and I hope it makes the roughness of the work worth the work.
Will always welcome another Hypno zine.

I watched Pizzagate: The Documentary last night in order to see exactly what all the fuss surrounding this D.C. pizza parlor is about. Almost two full hours of here-say and finger pointing. The narrator uses info obtained through 4chan as a large part of his fact-based claims. Not a trustworthy starting point for any sincere investigation. Even the Wikileaks documents he refers to offer little to no evidence of anything unusual going on. There's crazy shit about how Hillary Clinton's nervous ticks are actually due to a disease from cannibalism. Lots of character assassination on anyone connected to the place. As it happens, many of the people are local artists, dj's and gays, and all are cast in a bad light due primarily to being creative sorts. The ideas about hidden tunnels connecting the parlor to government landmarks are textbook conspiracy nonsense. Emails from parlor employees to each other discuss pizza, cheese, and chicken at times. All code words for pedophilic activities (and not just words that people who work in pizza parlors might be likely to use frequently)! Employees holding their own children for photos are suspect. Just sheer fabrication of the lowest kind. I went into this fully prepared to discover some horrifying plots and all I got was nonsense. It's sickening to me how people are 100% behind this garbage, but the idea that President Snowflake might indeed have some damning material being held over his head by Putin is "fake news". Um, okay.

I, Tonya A biopic about Tonya Harding and the events leading to the assault on her Olympic teammate and rival. An interesting take on the story, but it somehow misses the mark just a bit.

Dunkirk Christopher Nolan's dramatization of the evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk in 1940. Top-notch film.

Safety Not Guaranteed A local grocery clerk builds a time machine in his garage. Or maybe he's just a loon. Investigative journalists aim to find out. Or just use the assignment as an excuse to track down old flames. It's a comedy. Or sci-fi. Or romance. Recommended.
