Spent About 10-11 hours in a room this weekend, watching some kind of fucked up movies. This is my limited recollection of these:

1) Flame: About an hour and a half long film starring 70's glam rockers (and ugly sonuvabitchez) Slade. Film quality was horrible, and super dark. Essentially, the movie was about a band named flame (oddly appropriate name methinks) and their trials and tribulations on thier way to fame. No story arc to speak of, most of the action occuring with secondary characters, and really no resolution, since the band gets dropped at the end, but there's no real rhyme or reason to any of it.

2) Serge Gainsbourg - Made for TV special called "Melody"
About a hald hour of the French Leonard Cohen going on about some chick named Melody Nelson, with her horrible dancing, and crazy psychedelic light show. Music was cool, camp value high.

3) Revelation starring Tadeshi
You know at the PNE, there's this ride called the Revelation, that's so crazy that they film your reaction and you can buy the video? Well this is that video, done with someone of questionable mental abilities and who's super creepy. I was rolling in the couch laughing super hard at the absurdity of it.

4) The Devil and Danial Mouse.
Essentially a old school animated short about the evils of the record industry. Probably the least entertaining thing of the evening.

5) The death of Syd and Nanci
As performed silently by babies/children with a horrible soundtrack and poor sound quality. Thankfully short, but seriously fucked up, what with the murder and the heroin and babies and all. Pretty much the only reason I would have kids would be to have them star in something akin to this.

6) Corey Haim: Me, Myself, and I
Pretty much an attempted pilot for a reality show made by Corey just as his career was starting to disappear from under him. Seriously, the most hilarious unintentionally funny thing I have ever seen.


* 2nd 15 Minute Break *

7) Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan (reimagined)
This is Wrath of Khan with the over dubbing replaced with some seriously funny shit, by two drunk Star Trek fans. They match up the dubbing with the lips quite well, and made some pretty funny observations. What I liked best was when they gave up making actual sound effects opting instead for "Kerblamo!" and also when they started losing control and laughing. It was pretty funny.

* 3rd 15 Minute Break

8) Charlie's Family
A fictional documentary based on the Manson family murders. Pretty fucked up shit, but quite well acted and portrayed.


Almost fell asleep during this one (there's only so long you can sit in a comfy sofa).

* 4th 15 Minute Break *

9) Black Devil Doll From Hell
Worst. Movie. Ever. Repressed hardcore Christian woman buys a magical ventriliquist dummy and fantasizes about it. It comes alive and rapes her (but she likes it). It disappears but she's a chnaged woman who craves sex, but normal men don't satisfy her, she needs doll dick. Doll kills her and returns to the store, ready for the sequel. Could have been 15 minutes, but extended over an hour and a half. Really poor sound and video quality, the slowest pans in film history, needless footage, and the only breasts to be seen belong to a really ugly fat woman. Horrible, but one of those things that needs to be seen to be believed. This ended around 4:30 AM.

* 5th 15 Minute Break *

10) Deafula
A vampire story, akin to Dracula, but performed in Sign Language. Really slow and boring. Also exceedly stupid. ("I know he's a vampire, I'm English, I know these things!"). This is the Torture Garden living up to it's name. I fell asleep half way through. Corinne managed to stay awake through it, which I will forever be amazed by.

We got out around 7AM and had to walk home from the Main Street Skytrain station since buses hadn't started yet. (Fuck Translink.)

Thanks to the folks who put it on (Kier-La, and Criminal Cinema), who accompanied me (Corinne, Aidan (only for a little bit), Mariko, and BJ who stayed for most of it). It was a blast, now I can't wait for Cinemuerte this summer.
