THE MARCH D.O.S. SCHEDULE ESCAPES B.J.'S BRAIN!!!!

Many apologies for this two week late schedule. I wanted to program so much and ya know there are only so many Tuesdays. Thanks for your patience. This Tuesday is a little strange because you all get to vote for your double-bill and the contenders are;

TUESDAY MAR.16
(my birthday incidentally. the line to shower me with gifts and sexual favors begins at the couch.)

With the Dawn of the Dead remake coming out Friday why not start with the film that started it all.

7pm - Night of the Living Dead [1968]: Yes the original George A. Romero classic. Ummm synopsis? THE DEAD RISE!

9pm - Return of the Living Dead [1985]: The not quite sequel from one of the creators of ALIEN and in this one....um...THE DEAD RISE IN AN AMUSING MANNER!

or

7pm - FLESH + BLOOD [1985]: "In a savage time, torn between two rivals she fought for survival with the only weapon she had... herself." The tagline to Paul Verhoeven's first English language film. Probably the most realistic medieval movie I've ever seen. It's awesome. It's got Rutger Hauer as a mercenary out for retribution and a whole lot of nude Jennifer Jason Leigh shaved to look like a pre-pubescent girl. I love Verhoeven.

9pm - Aguirre, Wrath of God [1973]: Werner Herzog directs this film of 16th century Spanish expedition in the search of El Dorado. Unlike the Dreamworks animated film there'll be decapitations and hostile tribesmen (and maybe some ladies).

Those two are your choices. I'll be happy with either. If we go with the Dead movies I highly recommend borrowing Flesh + Blood from me. Nick has first dibs.

TUESDAY MAR.23

How about some primer for Kill Bill vol. 2.

7pm - TATTOOED HITMAN [1974]: Bunta Sugawara plays Tattooed Hit Man -- let's call him THM -- and he's hit some bad days. First, an apparently routine hit triggers one of the worst mob wars in history, leaving him caught in the middle. If that's not enough, his protege (sort of Robin to THM's Batman) decides the hit man life lacks pizazz so he takes up with drug dealers. THM ain't too happy about any of this but there's worse to come.

9pm - GAME OF DEATH [1978]: Written, directed, produced and starring Bruce Lee...at least the last 20 minutes or so. Poor Lee died before finishing the film and six years later someone got another actor to play Lee using a cardboard cut out of his head and put it on the replacement actor's head (well through a mirror) "A true vision ruined", "turmoil", "insulting", "a joke", "load of crap". You decide.

TUESDAY MAR. 30

This week is kinda programmed by Sinister Sam (hey I only know like one person I can name drop)

7pm - CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST [1980]: "One of the top ten highest grossing films of all time in Japan". Documentary crew goes missing in cannibal country another crew goes looking for 'em. Hmmm I think I see where this is going.

9pm - DR BUTCHER MD (aka ZOMBI HOLOCAUST) [1980] - Mad Scientist living on cannibal infested island using the inhabitants to turn these flesh eating cannibals into.....ehhh flesh eating zombies. Those familiar with Fulci's ZOMBIE will recognize many of the sets because it's the same sets.

Well that's it till April where Mariko will deliver a prompt schedule of cinema goodies
