NOTE to NON-MEMBERS: Interested in joining the SHERDOG MOVIE CLUB? Shoot me a PM for more info!
Here's a quick list of all movies watched by the SMC. Or if you prefer, here's a more detailed examination.
That dastardly Cubo has done it again! He looked at HenryFlower's sleaze-week and thought "yeah, I can top that!" So we have a gore-comedy week ahead of us! In an effort to imitate the experience of going to the video store, he has banned the postings of trailers from this week.
BAD TASTE
Director: Peter Jackson
Stars: Terry Potter, Pete O'Herne, Craig Smith
Premise: The population of a small town disappears and is replaced by aliens that chase human flesh for their intergalactic fast-food chain.
Why Cubo picked it: This was chosen because it's the film we need to review. I still vividly recall eyeballing the cover at the video store and knowing it was meant to be (especially since they were having a rent one/get one Sci-fi deal). Took it back to the dorm with my four buddies and threw it on in the lounge. By the end of the film there were 20 people gathered around wondering what the fuck they just saw. At one point in the movie we all laughed so hard at a scene it got rewound and we laughed more. Choose this film, even if you've seen it. It's Peter Jackson making possibly the greatest film of its kind. We owe it to the man.
THE TOXIC AVENGER
Director: Michael Herz, Lloyd Kaufman
Stars: Andree Maranda, Mitch Cohen, Jennifer Babtist
Premise: Tromaville has a monstrous new hero. The Toxic Avenger is born when meek mop boy Melvin falls into a vat of toxic waste. Now evildoers will have a lot to lose.
Why Cubo picked it: I picked this because the rules require four selections and when it came out it was the Mac Daddy of this sort of thing. Those days are gone and this movie doesn't hold up like the other three. Still deserves the nod of a nomination though. This was possibly my favorite poster on the wall as a kid.
EVIL DEAD 2
Director: Sam Raimi
Stars: Sam Raimi, Scott Spiegel
Premise: The lone survivor of an onslaught of flesh-possessing spirits holes up in a cabin with a group of strangers while the demons continue their attack.
Why Cubo picked it: I picked this because it's the only thing that gives Bad Taste a run for the money. In fact, it's my favorite. But if you want to watch Ash fuck some motherfuckers up then time is better spent watching Ash Vs. The Evil Dead tv series. Seasons 1 and 2 are killer. Gotta watch 3 still. The vibe of the series is most like Evil Dead 2, and while they draw a lot from the film, it still fees fun and fresh. So yeah, don't pick this.
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2
Director: Tobe Hooper
Stars: Dennis Hopper, Caroline Williams, Jim Siedow
Premise: A radio host is victimized by the cannibal family as a former Texas Marshall hunts them.
Why Cubo picked it: I have part 1 at the top of my list of most disturbing films ever and will never watch it again (in a good way). However this one is so over the top that it just brings the laughs to go with the squirms. Couldn't get enough of it back in the day. Hooper really upped the game here and it would have gotten an X, so instead it hit theaters unrated. Screwed me out of seeing it on the big screen. Fun fact. I had the cardboard stand-up from the video store in my bedroom. Worked 'em good over the course of months for it. So if you absolutely have to not pick Bad Taste (sigh), then this is the one.
