Tuesday Night Movie Reminder

For those of you who read your email, you can ignore this. If not:

Just a quick reminder that this Tuesday's movie night is:

7pm: Giants and Toys -- Strange Japanese wacky-mod comedy about rival candy companies and their new superstar spokesmodel -- the girl with the worst teeth in all of Japan!


9pm: War of the Robots -- Cheepie Italian Star Wars rip-off. I've included the IMDB user comment for reference:


Date: 30 June 2003
Summary: An embarrassing waste of film

WAR OF THE ROBOTS is a total waste of film, not to mention the viewers time. Made in 1978, this Italian space "epic" looks like it might have been produced 30 years earlier. Everything about this film is terrible, including an incoherent script, bad acting, horribly done special effects (the Flash Gordon serials from the 1930's were better, at least they were in focus most of the time), extremely bad sound effects and dialogue dubbing. If one took all the worst blunders found in the bad Italian and Japanese sci-fi flicks of the 1950's and 1960's and condensed them into one film, WAR OF THE ROBOTS would be the result. Utter trash, avoid at all costs.


Booze, and/or an extreme sense of "treat appreciation" reccomended.

Also, if you like myself are not in fact working on Tuesday, I'm planning on hosting a marathon of all the horror films in BJ's collection I should have seen by now, but haven't (Sam's been joking that I should change my email address to hasntreallyseenthatmanyfilmsgurl79@hotmail.com). Actual titles witheld to prevent embarrasing myself.

Again, as always, please please let me know if you can make it or not. Call or email for directions if you are new to this. The more the merrier, but we need to know how many people to expect (or not to expect). If you want onto the mailing list but aren't, contact me! Pop fund still in effect. Non-caffeinated beverages are your own damn problem (just kidding).

Hope to see you there.
